final.....

welll i dont know what i am going to do...
i loved shooting portraits but the downside is that it was my lowest grade for an assignment...so i kinda scratched that idea... i loved shooting monochormatic but i dont know how to incorporate that into something that is interesting....

I LIKE THESE PANOS

i like these landscape panos i wissh i could do this buisnesss!

PANORAMA MAMA

sooooooo panos!
ha i am partial to these..i haven't found my love for them, and i havent found a true hate...
techniqalitiies, and poor subject matter....i felt like i used the whole time to shoot these i mean i kept going back and back over again to get something that i didnt before...i dont think that was very efficient. i just wish i did things right the first time...
my big problem this time was finding inspiration! like i loved shooting the vertical ones like i just find it so fun and like a vertical pano is truely something you cant get in one shot you know. like i liked finding things that you need to tip your head to see... i thought they were more interesting to look at and thats why i got those done so quickly. then the computer problems acted up. like it was just a long process but after you do one you know how to do it well! the one of the flag was a paiiiin because my computer wouldnt load it.... that was a pain and took a big chunck of time. i feel like my vertical tells a better "story" because they represent people...the flag speaks for itself and my church as well...
horizontal just plain sucked. i couldnt find anything that caught my eye...i wanted my panos to telll a certain story and not just be a photo... and i kinda do not feel like a accomplished that...that isnt tearing myself down im just saying i didnt exercise my full potential. buttttt my landscape is my backyard...i was dreading shooting cuz i thoguth it be boring but i think it looks really pretty actually. i love the light. the ones of the books i feel that like is just different...i loveed the long wall of books and thought it would be kinda a cool photo...i think i was right hahah its different... and thats what i like


learning experience....i found light i like! i like that overcast light! thank god i finally figured that out i was starting to get worried..but when im shooting up close object i like vivid light... i love that im starting to make my own decisions in what i like!!! yes

lets start this final project bizz!

WELCOME NEW TERM.

so im excited...lets start.


here are some cool phootos to celebrate!

MINI FINAL

so this is probably like the photo that you ask why does she even like this! haha but i feel that is super in focus you know, and i love the color of it. they arent pink yet red. i really love it. i think it was a cool concept. i cant really explain further why i like it i just do!


complimentry colors favorite print. the reason i like this photo is because the colors are so vivid, and i didnt even mess witht the colors in lightroom. i also as you know love shooting shoes! so this was fun to mess around with.



this is my first real successful reshoot. this photo is proof that i learned something from color balancing, i shot my blue cups then reshot these white plates and made them really really white. it makes me feel like i have actually solved my white balencing problem.


rachel brunner....my hero. she was a bomb model. i love this photo particularly because she isnt posing like any of my other photos.... she also shows me emotion. i love this photo because it is close up, i didnt have to deal too much with her body its just a true portrait.


favorite portrait assignment. i love this one of alexsa. i love the light. all term i really havent captured tthe light i really enjoy yet. this photo actually does it for me! i like it because it shows her acting natural compared to the rest of my photos when she is smiling and posing. getting her hair and face tone to be normal was a chore. but i love love love it.


i love this photograph. i took this for the cemetary extra credit, but this is a better portrait. I love the look of the model her eyes are stunning. the model i think makes this picture, the intensity she gives me is beautiful. she is the best model i have ever used for pictures. i love the darkness on the bottom and the bright light at the top. it is a good balence.



the term summed up!
so i think i have learned a tonn this term... i learned how to do this color buisness...
i have learned color balence is a key factor when shooting. i also learned to stay positive. like i had some tough times already but i stuck it thru and i finished every one of my assiggnments with little to no problem. also the model you use is an important factor. my focus although not sharp at times has improved. dont wait forever to shoot. keep trying to find the right light because that is my weakness. free shooting sucks that is a main thing i learned also to keep photograph ideas written down!. ive tried super hard this term, ive really given it a lot of work, time, and patience. i hope my work reflects it. let's start next term!

ASSIGNMENT 6

ah portraits.
so this assignment was interesting. i love shooting portraits....this time around i wasn't so super. i do not like shooting in color portaits. it really screwed me up. all my models that i would love love to print just suck because like most of my models were blond and their hair really looked green. then in my first case with alexsa her face is really really red. i honestly rather go get another model then to fix it in lightroom, which is what i did. super. ha but she was blond again. but i things went a lot better than i thought. her balence werent so off. i loved the pictures of the little girl but she didnt show me any emotion in her face and they were all really bllurry...more blurry then my second time shooting and i didnt have a tripod then. i didnt shoot the second weekend because it snowed and really i couldnt handle dealing witht he color of snow because i suck at brightness.... i had a hard time completing the rest of the assignment..i didnt know who to shoot and what not. i knew my ideal model-someone cocky. people who are really into themselves i learned are very good at modeling. but with all my blond models i was trying to steer clear and mostly all my big headed friends are blond i wanted variation. which was hard to find. and then i was not stoked on shooting myself. i couldnt find a celtics jersey simply because i dont associate with people who like them...so my idea was kinda lost. i hate the one of myself...i just needed proof that i tried. that is my only photo that i really hate.


i cant wait to do portraits again but in black and white. i actually really like my shots. i think they define a complete portait. like they all show my models face and what they look like which is the goal of a portait. i am really really happy with my end product.

ASSIGNMENT 5

sooooooooooo ps i hate this assignment with a living passion inside of me. i had no inspiration of anything for this assignment. all i really really wanted to do is portaits...and i thought that was stupid vbecause that is just our next assignment so what is even the point of that. it kinda sucks because when you have all these ideas of things i wanna shoot...then i get to this free assignment and just go blank. freedom isnt everything we sum it up to be ive decided we all wanted it but when we get it it is something we hate. thats what i feel has happened thru this assignment. i dont really like any my photots...i like two. the two i like are my pictures of the three trees because that is something i dont really take photos of..because i never take photos of nature..im not really a nature girl and i thought that one came out well. i also love the one of the grill like thing haha the rest are ugly. i think i screwed up the white balence....and i just dont know.. although i am not too happy about my photos there is one thing i still pride myself on is like i didnt give up on this even though i had no creativity in it... this time i really didnt start super late either i brought photos thru the whole week and thru the whole week put them up. well pretty much,its time to either reshoot this or take some kick ass portraits....haha.

no complimentryyyy but i love it

i realllly like these so i wanted to share...

too bad blue and yellow arent complimentryyy

ASSIGNMENT FOUR

ahh compliment and analagous colorrrrs. ew.
i did not like this assignment....
this was super hard for me. i coulnt find anything i could take a picture of...
i also forgot which colors go with what... i ended up just doing th eobvious ones...which kinda dissappointed me. i had some major messed up problem with focus ha
most of my images were sorta blurry which took me by surprise seeing as i used the tripod and all.... i was a little unsatisfied with my last two photos i went out and took a few more...which kinda in the long run helped. although i dont love all my images like i have in the past there are a few which i like....
i love my strawberry one goiing horizontal....i think it is in good focus and the color really pops.. ive seen a lot of fruit in this color composition but never like mine.. so i find it original in my mind.
i also like my purple and pink one...i think it is random and the color combo is somthing different that i didnt do in any other photo. plus once again it is in focused annnnnnd the color is pretty.
ii like my ones of my floppies but the color is just confusing but the interest keeps me.
i loveee my jersey one just because i had had to do something OBVIOUS lakers.
haha
the only image i was very dissappointed about was my analagous yellow and orange...it isnt in focus. but i stilll like it enough.


im excited to move on...this assignment i didnt favor and i dont think my images were top notch but i still think they are good and there are certain ones that are good. fifty free will be an awsome change of pace...

frusteration

i hate this assignment of complimentry colors.
i am pissed.
just needed to let that out.

extra credit well not really.

ah welll....
i screwed up this "extra credit".
i went to early in the day and i thought it was gonna be overcast but sike...sooooo effing bright. these pictures are still cool i think, they arent necessary creepy at alll...hahah my model is really modely hahah but i like it a llotttt.
i think its interesting how her expressions mix with how she is in a cemetary... i reallly love the face and tombstone shot especially the light behind it. i know this wasnt the exact assignment but i would love love loveee to get som credit for it.
