Assignment #8
LONG DEPTH OF FIELD
I love this photograph. It uses a very small aperture to create a great depth of field.
This also portrays a great depth of field by being taken at a far away distance and using a small aperture.
Same as above.
SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD
Large aperture to create shallow depth and central focus.
Large aperture again with a focus on the face.
Focus on the main object (model) with blurred background using large aperture.

Assignment #5
This photograph is a great inspiration, especially for a portrait. It uses rule of thirds, has an intense focal point (the eyes), and has a great use and shadows and dodging/burning. It is definitely something I feel like I could also acheive in a photograph.

Assignment #3
3. Scan one of the photos I have at my desk. In your journal write the first words that come to mind when viewing the image. Explain in a paragraph how that word is visually connected to the image. Describe the composition talking about the basic shapes that make up the image and how they are placed to make up the composition.
In the picture you see many many people and faces, most showing happy and excited emotions. Everyone appears to be gathered around and observing something. Even people on the balcony's of buildings are looking on. The two buildings give the picture a very long depth of field, as if the image goes on forever and ever. The photograph portrays a sense of mystery as well, as you don't know what it is all the people are looking at.
Assignment #4
4. Draw a map of your house or neighborhood. As you draw, label as many things as you can. Use the map to help you remember where things are located and what memory is associated with an area or space. If you are drawing your house, then add furniture; if your neighborhood, add some of the things in nature (ex. Tree, plants, etc.) When you finish the map, make a list of interesting things/places that you might photograph. Scan this and add it to your journal.
-Design and portions of house.
-Plants and flowers in yard.
-Wild animals like squirrels in forest.

Assignments #7, #9, #11 - Critiques
Stop Action/Motion Blur
I am pleased with how my pictures turned out, but there is definitely much room for improvement. I really like the picture with Erin's hair whipped to the side. However, I wish I had the camera panned down more so her head is closer to the top of the picture. I love the kicking pose in the other picture, I think it's perfect. But what I don't like is the image turned out too grainy, dark, and blurry. There are dust marks and scratches on both pictures which I don't like either, so I'll have to find a way to avoid that in the future. I would give myself maybe a 6.8/10 or a 7/10.
Depth of Field
I am not that happy with how my pictures turned out. I like the idea I had behind the Giraffe picture but the image turned out too blurry and there are objects in the corner that distract from the main idea of the picture. But this was the only high depth of field photo I took that actually turned out alright. I do like the picture of my cat but I think it turned out too dark and was also not sharp enough. I would give myself a 5.5/10.
Lines
I am quite satisfied with how these pictures turn out. I really like the picture of the trees behind the window because of all the lines in it and I think it's a simple but bold photograph. I also really like my other picture. I thought the light was reminiscent of waves in the way that the lines curled, so I took a handmade figurine that we bought from Vietnam that showed two men on a small boat, and put it on the light hanger. The only thing I don't like about it is I wish the figurine was more in focus. I would give myself a 7.5/10.
