Mock Assignment: Ant's Perspective (10)


Just FYI; I feel like I am sitting in a saggy diaper just from taking these pictures. I didn't realize it rained when I volunteered for this assignment, but I feel better about some of these photos compared to the passed two days. My assignment was the "Get Dirty" assignment. I had to take everything from an ant's perspective.

I took this from under the giant Texas High star. I laid in a puddle. I think this is the only kind of acceptable bulls eye picture. It looks super underexposed.  

ISO: 800
APERTURE: 5.6
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/200

This picture is extremely boring. I could have spiced it up by having a comparison in the picture like a foot or something, but oh well.

Josh and I originally found this tennis ball here on the ground. We pondered whether to get a picture of the cool looking shattered glass or the tennis ball. Great minds think alike, so we used both the objects in the picture. 

ISO: 800
APERTURE: 10
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1000

This is my least favorite picture. Everything blends together. It's way too dark and overexposed. It's a cliche tree picture. It's really gross. 

ISO: 800
APERTURE: 11
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/320

This is by far my most favorite picture I have taken so far. I'm extremely proud of this. There is a lot of detail. The picture is framed. You can see the rust, chipped paint and chains very clearly. I just feel as though this is one of my best works.I wasn't even looking when I took this. I basically aimed and guessed. I could probably lighten the background because it seems kind of bland, but I'm very proud. 

ISO: 800
APERTURE: 11
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/320

This is the only picture that I posted more then one shot of. I feel like this was worth posting. Not as great as the picture above, but not extremely terrible. I liked the one before better because it was framed. In this one, the fire hydrant is dead center which doesn't look as interesting. 

ISO: 800
APERTURE: 10
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/500

These steps are obviously underexposed a tad. (My reoccurring problem.) Luckily, there is depth and detail. 

ISO: 800
APERTURE: 11
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/30

This is lame. Not interesting. Yeah. At least things are focused. 

ISO: 400
APERTURE: 11
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/200

This is the same tennis ball from earlier. Josh kept it and played with it, but I took it to snap this shot. I feel like this one looks nice. There is some detail in the green fuzz, but you can still make out the back ground. Again, shooting in a puddle. 

ISO: 400
APERTURE: 5.6
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/100

It's pretty cool how you can see the gritty dirt on the tire. Moving on. 

ISO: 800
APERTURE: 11
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/200

I wanted to be artsy with this, but it's probably a crappy photo in actuality. I probably could have chosen a better background. 
After this I started breaking out on my legs from sitting in wet grass for so long. This better at least be a decent picture. 

ISO: 1600
APERTURE: 11
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/30

This was basically me trying to come up with a last photo. Here ya go. 


Some of these were complete crap, but for being my third day with a camera, some of these turned out nicely.

First Place ATPI Advanced Portfolio

Image
I was the first student from Texas High to ever enter into the advanced portfolio category in ATPI. These are the images I entered and won first place with. These were shot in a compiled time of two afternoons in different locations.  ISO: 500 APERTURE: 4.5 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/13 This is my least favorite image in the portfolio. I had taken an image the exact other side of this and it was perfect. Exactly what I wanted. The only problem was the background was a fireplace. I wanted it to at least look like a studio of sorts rather than a basic living room, so I came to this side and took this image. I ended up just settling with this. Lighting it was super hard until Kelsi Brinkmeyer who helped with my portfolio, had the genius idea to move the blinds and use natural lighting from the setting sun. Like I don't know why we were so stupid and didn't think of that before. I used a 10-24mm, and the problem I ran into was that because she was leaning towards the camera, her u

Ashley Tyson Senior Pictures

These are a sneak peek at Ashley Tyson's senior photos. These were all shot downtown in Jefferson, TX. She happens to be my best friend, and I had our other best friend, Kelsi Brinkmeyer, with us to help light and assist. We all worked really well together because we gel and bounce ideas off each other. Kelsi is a phenomenal photographer, so I was glad to have her with us.  ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/1250 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.5 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/8000 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.5 SHUTTR SPEED: 1/8000 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/8000 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/8000 ISO: 400 APERTURE: 4.0 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/8000 ISO: 400 APERTURE:

Headshots: Carlie Clem

Image
ISO: 800 SHUTTER SPEED: 1/8000 APERTURE: F/1.8 I honestly really enjoyed taking headshots today, but I can see how that would get unenjoyable.  This wasn't originally my favorite photo that I had taken today. It had a huge contrast where on the left it was extremely dark, but on the right it was extremely light. I ended up fixing most of it in Lightroom.  I still don't like how she has a shadow across the forehead, but I didn't want to tweak it too much and ruin the photo.  I had a hard time trying to keep glares and overexposed spots out of my photos. Out of around 50 of my photos, I ended up keeping about 6.  I think my biggest problem with headshots will be finding the right lighting. I did learn the when using the rule of thirds, have your model face more towards the middle of the photo. Don't get shots from under them as much because of chins, noses, shadows and other complications. Don't leave too much head room either. Something t
