Third Six Weeks Project: Self Portrait

ISO 1000, aperture 4.0, and a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second

For my self portrait I was trying to capture a white theme resembling purity. It took a long time to figure out how to get the lighting correct. Since I didn't have an umbrella, Brianna and I found a black rain umbrella and taped it up to the light stand. I used one 580 flash and a 17-50m lens. I tried positioning in multiple different ways, and this photo and position was my favorite. I like where I'm looking and I LOVE the lighting. The only thing that bugs me about this picture is that I'm still wearing my black ponytail. The first thing we did was set up the white sheet and get the lighting right; this took the longest. I tried several different things, and this picture was my absolute favorite.

This picture was shot during the Spanish Christmas party. There was hardly anyone there so it was hard to capture a variety of people. This picture makes me mad; I don't like it. The white animal was EVERYWHERE. Ah! The only thing I like about this image is that she's happy and showing emotion. This picture was taken with a 17-50m lens.

I adored shooting the room 49 Christmas party my leadership class was throwing. It was full of energy and kindness. All of the students were extremely nice which made it fun to capture. All of these images show emotion and the "Christmas spirit." I took these images with a 17-50m lens. I also used an on-camera flash that bounced off of the ceiling, giving my pictures awesome lighting.

This photo assignment was extremely frustrating and embarrassing. I used a 17-50m lens to take this image. It took three embarrassing tries to take this image. The first time I didn't set my focus point, and the second time was just awful. Finally, on the third time I found her at lunch and took a picture of her in a hallway. This was the most embarrassing day of my photography experience.

On November 18th I was SICK :(

The photo assignment was to capture spirit of some of the swimmer guys at the football game, but we had to re-stage it on the track bleachers. I like the emotion in both of these pictures, but I dislike the lens glare on the first image. These guys were hilarious and some of my favorite people, so I really enjoyed taking pictures of them. I used a 17-50m.

Not quite my self portrait, but close

This picture is similar to my self portrait. I was trying to capture pure and innocent theme. I used a 17-50mm lens, a 580 flash, and taped and umbrella up to the light stand (luckily it worked). The lighting was extremely hard to figure out. The position is different than I wanted, but I ended up liking it.
