Not Edited

This past week I snagged Ruth Arnold aside and asked her to help me out. We shot a drumline practice, a friend of our skateboarding (which was probably the hardest thing I've ever done) and on my own, I took photos from the Hope Watermelon Festival and my friends. These are just a few things that came out of it. I feel like I still don't completely know what I'm doing with settings, but it's a lot better than before. 
None of these have been edited.

SHUTTER SPEED: 1/50

I think the exposure in this picture is pretty alright. It's focused and you can see detail. You can't really see his face, but this isn't going in the yearbook anyway. 

ISO:1000
APERTURE: 3.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/30

This photo could have been so much better. I was right in the fact that I was in the right place at the right time to snap this, but the teacher is out of focus and kids are staring at the camera. I think a good point about it is that fact that all the students are laughing. 

ISO: 1000
APERTURE: 2.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/160

This was alright focus-wise. It would have been better if I had gotten Josh from the front side instead of the back. 

ISO: 1000
APERTURE: 2.5
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/80

This is alright. Not amazing on any standards, but it shows the students playing. The girl in the middle looks more in focus than the boy in the purple shirt, but your eye is drawn to the boy. The boy on the end in the blue shirt is cutting off another girl. 

ISO: 160
APERTURE: 16
SHUTTER SPEED: 1/160

This is my favorite picture I took in this photog session. The exposure seems to be the best I've shot so far. I could do without the street light in his right shoulder.

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

Image
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
