Natural Light Portraits (In-Class)








This last one was hard. I felt that my color in my photo was being washed out by the ambient light coming through the windows.
Taking photos in existing light is my favorite and over cast days are perfect for it because the light is evenly scattered throughout the sky.

Hard News (Feature is story before)

Image
The hard news has been especially difficult for me because of my insanely busy schedule. Every time I listened to the scanner it happened to be a quiet night. I came upon this accident leaving the grocery store. It blocked off the east bound lanes of St. George Blvd. from Bluff Street to 300 East. I unfortunately only had my phone so the image quality is not very good.  The driver was hit trying to make a left turn out the parking lot. It was a teenager driving and the parents who arrived were angry with the situation. Honestly I am not a fan of spot news, I feel very nosy.

Axioms

Image
The Axioms we discussed in class are great depth-of-field, shallow depth-of-field, slow shutter speed, and fast shutter speed. In the following photos I will demonstrate those axioms. Shallow Depth-of-Field Aperture was at F-stop 3.5. Shutter speed was 1/30. ISO 400. Focuses on what is right in front of the camera, things farther away are blurry. Great Depth-of-Field  Aperture F-stop 22. Shutter 1/1.3 More of the photo is clear and crisp. Fast Shutter Speed Shutter speed 1/1600. F-stop 7.1. ISO 400 (Frozen motion) Slow Shutter Speed Shutter speed 1/40. F 22. ISO 400. (The ball and his catching hand a blurred.) I noticed that it was a lot harder to use a slow shutter speed when there is a lot of light outside which is a given. I had to make my aperture much smaller so that less light would come in.
