Making Connections

Making Connections 

The photography class I am taking at NHS has taught me many different techniques and we have had so many assignments. such as, the compositional photoshoot taught me how there are many techniques to taking pictures. some of these include, point of interest, avoiding distractions, close and far, etc. There are so many techniques, but my understanding with these would not be as strong if it was not for the assignments that followed. My two favorite photoshoot assignments we did were the Depth Of Field and the Alphabet Soup because I have been using the depth assignment to get my pictures to become more natural and closeup. The alphabet assignment taught me to open my eyes to see what is really there. That if you really look closely you will see the world in a whole new way. Now,  you are probably wondering " What was her least favorite project?" and the answer to that is very simple, none. I loved all the projects because they made my photography skills better. They all helped me view the world in a bigger perspective. They have helped me get my voice out there and it has happened with something I love doing. For my voice to get out there I took mainly photos of nature and scenery that stood out to me. One of my most successful projects I have done so far is my  Alphabet Soup  because I really got into the project in searching for the letters in the least obvious places. My least successful project was the Color  because it was hard for me to get out and get the color I needed. For the rest of this year I really wanna learn how to take professional modeling pictures because I want to be able to do that as a summer job. Also how to take better pictures of people in their natural state without having to pose them.

For this assignment I took pictures of mainly my siblings and neighborhood kids playing at the park because that was the best place to get my stop motion pictures. i set up my scene by taking pictures of the kids doing natural things. I chose not to pose them to make the photos more realistic. I used the rules of composition by using point of interest, avoiding distractions, and many others. I incorporated my voice into these picture because I've known these neighborhood kids since i moved here 3 years ago. My view on the world has changed because l now see that there are different ways to take pictures and using stop motion makes you feel like you've stopped time. Some of my strengths were capture the kids in their natural ways and not posing them. some of my weakness were that the photos would turn out blurry sometimes. I wouldn't of changed this assignment because it was fun and interesting seeing how the pictures would turn out.
