I was assigned to shoot Mrs. Murray's class room presenting their projects. I think these photos could be used because it shows exactly what was going on. This assignment was only difficult because you couldn't move to the middle of the room to get pictures because the teacher was sitting in the back to see the projects being presented. Also, there were three Photographers so I wasn't to worried because we all had different angles and different lenses. Next time I shoot an in class assignment I will not use a wide angle shot because then you get the back of heads instead of just your subject. 

Something Red

                                               

This picture was shot with my I Phone. I am thinking this picture for the image 'red' in the photo challenge. Im not so fond of flowers most of the time but these were really pretty. I like how well the photo turned out just to be shot with my phone. I am still thinking of other things red that I could get creative images of and hope to have the most creative and cool ones. This photo was recreated to look like the one at the top and I feel I did a pretty good job at making do with what I had. I just hope I can come up with more creative photos for the challenge. 

Studio Pictures

ISO: 320

Today I shot in the studio for the first time. It was really fun, Kelsi and Paige were with me and Kelsi taught us the basic way of setting things up. We were practicing for a photo in the photo challenge. The only major difficulties were getting the alien in the right place so that when we took a picture of the subjects face there wasn't a strange shadow across their face. I really liked how the pictures turned out. I liked how how lighting we got to the eyes so that you could really see their color. I think these photos would be useful to my photo challenge because they aren't just something i "sprayed and prayed" for, i actually set them up and made adjustments to get that unique photo i was looking for.

Thursday I got to shoot the Senior Bon Fire. This was really cool but very difficult all at once. I shot with a 28-135mm lens and a 30D. This was difficult because I had never used a 30 and all the settings were different from the 7D which is what I usually shoot with. Also, I attempted my first silhouette but couldn't exactly get it because of the way the High Steppers were angled in front of the fire. This was really fun because there were so many things happening at once so you never had to worry about getting to many shots of the same thing. My favorite part was towards the end because most seniors gathered together for the song "We are Young' by fun and it made great story telling images. You could see the sadness and excitement all at once in their faces. I cant wait for mine.

I was assigned to shoot the senior Pep rally Friday. This Pep rally was probably the best one because most of the seniors are already emotional about senior year and so when they played the senior video, reality kind of set in. This kind of emotion makes great story telling images. It was difficult to get some of these images because there were so many photographers taking pictures that you couldn't crowd the students. Also with the video starting so quickly it was difficult to get my setting right in such a hurry but its nothing I haven't been prepared for. I really liked the angle of my photos because I captured the emotion on their face and them looking at the screen.

Key Club

LENS: 17-50mm

Today, I shot Key Club putting together Christmas presents for Children who don't get any. This was an amazing thing to see. All the students were working diligently with smiles and hope that they could make a kids Christmas better. Getting pictures was quite easy because of how happy all the students were. The president of Key Club Libby Northam asked me if i would take a couple of group shots of everybody gathered around the boxes. This was really fun and simple, everyone got in place easy and there were no weird faces. I really like these images because it shows exactly what my subjects were feeling at that moment.

Clothes Idea Photo

                                                

We were given a Photo Challenge Today and "clothes" was one on the list. I attempted to recreate a photo like the one at the top. This was shot using my I phone I really like this photo just because it shows repetition and organization. I would like to come up with a more creative idea but I haven't found any nor thought of any other than this. This photo is one that I find a tad bit difficult because there isn't much you can do that really cool with clothes. I like this because it is helping me to think outside the box and get out of the comfort zone. I am really looking forward to this photo challenge and hope to come up with the most creative photos.
