Helping First Year Recreation

ISO

APP

SS

I volunteered to help assist some of the juniors with recreating some photos they picked from magazines. They used an umbrella and a white piece of cardboard to recreate an ad in a magazine for make up. This was a learning experience for me as well because i had never shot inside the class room with an umbrella and white board. I learned who to set it up and how manage your settings in the case of shooting indoors with a light stand. 

Big Bang Theory Lab

ISO: 800

APP: 2.8

SS: 1/200

I volunteered to take pictures of the Big Bang Lab in Mr. Harris's class. The lab was really cool and I got some pretty good shots of people making stuff blow up. I got diversity and I think I told the story pretty well. I practiced some depth of field with shots of people and their beakers and other materials. The assignment overall was easy and turned out good. 

Mu Alpha Theta

ISO: 1600

SS: 1/200

APP: 4.0

I volunteered to take pictures of the Mu Alpha Theta Induction... This assignment I did run into problems. Me and Israel took the assignment and I had some gear but he met me there with the bigma and a 70-200 lens. He already had the 70-200 which is what I had planned on using, but I got the bigma anyways. When I got it I remembered that you had to have a monopod and so I asked if he had packed one and he said he thought I did so eventually we ended up switching and making it work. I think I got pretty good photos for the circumstances. The Induction was pretty short, but I covered most of it. I haven't shot in the theatre a lot so it take me some time to adjust my settings. 

Robotics Meeting

ISO: 2000

APP: 2.8

SS: 160

I volunteered to take pictures of the High School T-Bot members hosting a competition for the middle school program. This assignment wasn't really what I was expecting because there were only four members that actually participated in the events with the younger kids. They had a rope set up around the floor where they were competing so I really only had three different sides I could take pictures from. At fist I had some trouble with my settings because the competition floor was the only place that was lit and the other members I wanted to take pictures of were back there. I think I got pretty good pictures for the small amount of people I could get. They are usable, and I feel like I told the story pretty well. 

Senior Bon Fire

ISO: 1600

APP: 2.5

SS: 1/200

I volunteered to shoot the senior bonfire. I wasn't really happy with my photos because the coloring on most of them is really off. I think I could have done a lot better. I could have adjusted the APP a little and I think it would have turned out better. I wanted to try and get a really cool sillouette of the fire like I did last year but they had people guarding the fire for people getting to close so that was lame. 

Stairs to Nowhere

ISO: 1000

SS: 500

APP: 4.0

I volunteered to take pictures of the "stairs to no where" which was probably the most stupid assignment made, but yearbook still needed it. It was a pretty easy assignment, i didn't use a flash or off camera flash, because the stairs are so dark the pictures would end up backlit. I used a 10-24 and a 28-75 so i could get a variety of angles. There wasn't much i could do to make this photo cool so i did what i could. I took horizontal and vertical even though they only asked for a horizontal just in case.
