Street Photography

I took this photo at the campus of a local high school. When I first walked past this pathway, I did not think of it to take the photo this way. However, after a second pass, I noticed what this photo came out to be. I like how the photo is balanced with the path down the middle, acting like a line, and the plants on either side balancing it out.

Chapel Architecture

I took this photo in the chapel at Mercy High School. The lighting was really low, so i decided to turn it into a black and white photo. After I turned it black and white, I noticed there was a nice contrast between the light values and the dark values.

Panoramic

For this photo assignment, we were told to go out and take a series of photos of a building or landscape, moving the frame slightly in a certain directiono each time. After we took our photos, we headed back to class and edited them with Photoshop and turned the series into one large panoramic photo. The series I took was taken in the morning around 7:30 in a rose garden at a local high school. I was shooting on a low ISO and and lower shutter speed to add for the most detail.

Stop Motion Video

I took this sequence of a friend to try and capture a series of motion. I had my friend jump off from a bench and a captured his motion by shooting on continuous mode. I then edited the photos with photoshop and put them into a video sequence using Adobe Premiere.

Sports Photo

I took this photo at a volleyball tournament over the weekend. I was using my friends camera as we were having a competition to see who could take a better action shot. I felt this one was pretty cool. We were shooting with a 1/320 second shutter speed and a 1600 ISO. The lighting was perfect at the Oakland Convention Center where we were shooting, so we didn't really have to adjust the lighting on the camera other than to reduce the noise caused by the high shutter speed. I really like this picture because it captured the moment. You can see the net moving after the ball hit it which is pretty cool.

Giant Camera

This photo was taken in San Francisco off the Great Highway near the coast. The picture was taken around 1:30 in the afternoon. I really like how the only positive space in the picture is the rock and the building on top of it. I also like the organic shape of the rock in this picture. It looks like a circle, but is not quite the perfect circle.

Picturesque Setting

This photo was taken in the Kohl Mansion at Mercy High School. I took the photo around 7:45 a.m. I felt when i took the photo I had gotten the best lighting through the windows in the back. The photo has balance with one chair on either side of the table. I also like how its symmetrical and if you were to divide the picture down the middle, there would be one object on one side, and another on other side mirroring each other.
