Stop Motion: What to Wear?

This video was produced by Maggie Redshaw, Arielle Alferez, and Julia Page

Daguerreotype and Tilt Shift

This is my daguerrotype

This is an example of a tilt shift I took focusing on the water

My panorama, multiple exposure, and HDR

Panorama

I took this photo at the back of Lincoln High School, near the courtyard

Multiple Exposure

This photo was taken at the beach to make the water look more rocky and rough

HDR

I took this photo and layered one over the to emphasize the white in the flowers and the green in the stems. 

Magazine inspiration

National Geographic is the magazine cover that inspired mine and Maggie's magazine idea. Our cover story will be Wildlife in Captivity and we will be showing multiple photos of animals in their cages at the Oregon Zoo.

Depth of Field: My three best photos

 In this photo, I adjusted the aperture to the lowest number my camera would allow which is F3.5. This photo intrigued me because it shows someone taking a picture of a subject where it's clear, and then shows the subject behind the camera blurred. I thought this was a creative way of portraying depth of field, and thought it was one of my best outcomes from this project.

 This photo was also taken with a low aperture and a low exposure. The reason for the low exposure is because I wanted the yellow to pop more, with the tree's dark branches complementing it the background. I like this photo because it's an example of shallow depth of field which makes you focus on one point in the picture, in this case it would be the flower.

This photo is probably my favorite out of the three. I love the colors of the purple, white, and yellow in the flower, with the green and brown in the background. This photo I think exemplifies a shallow depth of field perfectly because the flower is so clear in the foreground and then towards the edges of the photo the leaves and other flowers start to blur. Shallow depth of field were my favorite kinds of pictures in this assignment.

My Four Best Motion Photos

My Best Panning Shot:

I took this photo inside of school, and had the camera follow Maggie as she was running down the hall. The goal of this photo was to make it look like she was running fast. This is my best attempt at a panning shot because I feel as though it gives the entire aspect of a motion shot and effect that the subject is moving, not just posing still in one place. To capture my idea, I set my shutter speed on the camera to 1/20 seconds, and then the aperture accordingly.

My Best Freeze Action Shot:

This was photo was taken at Council Crest Park, while my brother was jumping off of a stone ledge. In order to get this photo, I had to set my shutter speed to a very high setting of 1/560 seconds. I took this photo from the back because I thought it gave more emphasis and interest to the subject. I had multiple freeze action shots, but I thought this was the best because it was more interesting, and dramatic comparatively to the others. 

My Best Slow Motion Shot: 

In this photograph I set my shutter speed to two seconds, and had my brother dance in front of the camera. This was my best portrayal of a slow motion picture because it showed his movements, whether he was moving his body from left or right, or his arms in different directions. My other photos showed movement, but not as distinct as this one.

My Best Total Motion/Effective Camera Shake Shot:

This photo was taken at Washington Park, while the subject, Arielle, sat on a picnic table. To capture this shot I brought my shutter speed to a slow speed of 1/8 seconds. While pressing down on the button to take my picture, I shook my camera back and forth. I believe that this is my strongest total motion photo because it shows more than just a couple of colors, like my other ones. Here, in this photo you can see that the camera shake was effective and on purpose, and that it had the best outcome in the end.
