What locations and subject matter did you choose to shoot for your photos?
-I chose to shoot my photo when I was fishing, because I love fish and I thought the ripples looked nice.
Describe the photos you took:What is the distance in the shot? (How close or far away are you from your subject?)What was your point of view when you took the photos? (from above, below, straight on...)Are your photographs horizontal or vertical?Did you consider the rule of thirds to compose your shots? In which photos? Describe.
-My Shot was a POV from a high angle, my photos are vertical and the rule of thirds was not being thought about during the time I took the photograph.
Which one of of your photos is a dynamic composition that successfully leads the viewer’s eye through the work?
-My fishing photo is dynamic because it leads the eye through ripples and the fishing line.

Pattern and Texture
My best photo is photograph number 6 which was taken at a low angle on a cloudy afternoon. When taking the photo, I was about a foot away from the tree and was taken horizontally. The photo follows the rule of thirds by having the pine cones slightly below center and the texture of the pine needles cause the viewers eyes to flow around the frame.
My 5th photo of the grass may be underexposed, but I like the way the stems of the grass pop because of this.
My photo of Evan hugging the tree ( photo 3 ) may be over exposed, but the part that suffered and became too bright is unimportant so this worked out for me as well.
Image 1 of the tree is properly exposed and has a good balance of dark and light.

for image number 1, I used a fast shutter speed 1/500 to capture Steven throwing the cards in the air. The ISO used for the photograph was 6400, and the white balance was incandescent. When I took the photograph, I was about 5 feet away from the subject, and I took it from almost a head on angle. I think that the cards in the photo created depth for the photograph.
for picture number 6, I used a 1/4 shutter speed and took the photo of Sam Albernaz pausing for a break during a intense handball game. I used a 6400 ISO for this photograph and also the white balance for the photo was tungsten. The people in the background playing the game are blurred out, and I was almost at a 45' angle while taking the photograph. The photo was taken about 20 yards away from the subject and utilizes positive and negative space to make it seem like my subject is stuck in time.

Painting With Light
Aperture
1. For my first photo, I used a shallow depth of field with a very high iso of 6400. my shutter speed was fast 1/24 and I used the studio lighting available in our classroom. my f-stop for this first picture was at 1.8.
2. my second photo that represents a large depth of field is picture number 6 which focus's on the orange cowboy robbing the train. I once again used a very fast shutter speed and the f for this photo was f11.
3. I think that my first photo is my strongest photo, I like the way that the lighting highlights the outsides of the clock while also creating different shades of gray on the face of the clock. I like this use of shallow depth of field because of the messages you can share using it. by focusing on the builder and not the clock, I think I was able to capture the message that work takes the time of most of us and will forever. I also like how the use of black and white was able to show how bland this work is.in a situation where the clock was the focus, I would use a large depth of field.

Photo Essay
My photos were taken in the courtyard on a bright and sunny spring day. This particular day was one of the only sunny days this entire spring, and really visually represents the saying "spring showers bring may flowers". In the photos, I was trying to portray and show the beauty of spring, the beauty of life and and represents the spring from high school to college for my models Evan and Jake. In my photos I Used depth of field to make the eye travel throughout the photos. This use of depth of field makes the flowers interesting and give a unique feel to every shot. I chose to photograph the high school courtyard because it is the place where myself and my class are springing from the school into adulthood. My images captured the narrative of my story by giving off good and positive vibes through color, the beauty of growth through the flowers, and I used models to connect spring to our school. I arranged the photos in a way that spaces the models, while still having a heavy emphasis on their connection to the narrative. I think that the strongest photograph in the series is photograph #2. In this photograph, I captured my model Evan with a long depth of field through the branches of a tree. I like the color of his shirt and the way that the dandelion looks in the sunlight. Photograph 4 was shot using natural sunlight with a ISO of 200. I set the focus towards the middle of the photo drawing the eye to the flowers there. This helps the eye naturally travel throughout the photo. I also adjusted the layers to make the photograph darker, the original photo was very light and there was a lot of over exposure.
