People as a Subject (Part 1)

Self Portrait

Aperture: f / 3.8

Shutter Speed: 1/10

ISO: 100

I took this picture in my living room. I moved a bunch of stuff off of the wall, so I had a clear background. I used created lighting for this shot, by pointing a lamp at myself. I like the look on my face, and it took quite a few tries to make this face without laughing. I think that this picture describes who I am, because even though I do consider myself pretty girly, but I am also really into sports, and play a sport every season, and during the summer. If I could change something about this picture, I would definitely try to have better lighting. I had to make this photo a black and white, because I didn't like the lighting. I also took out a lot of unnecessary shadows. Even though the lighting is kind of weird, I like this picture because I think it really describes me.

Teacher Picture #1

Aperture: f / 5.3

Shutter Speed: 1/15

ISO: 400

This is a picture of the ceramics teacher, Ms. DeNiord. I am taking ceramics with her this semester, so I thought she would be a great teacher to photograph. I believe that this picture describes what she teaches, because she shows us how to make a lot of stuff on the wheel, and she's really good at it. There are a couple things I wish I could change about this picture, though. One, is the busy background. There wasn't rally any way to avoid it, because we couldn't move the wheel, or any things in the background. I also wish that her head was up a little bit more, so I could see more of her face. Overall, I think that this is a really nice picture, and it really describes what Ms. DeNiord teaches.

Extra Credit

Aperture: f / 4.5

Shutter Speed: 1/15

ISO: 400

This picture was taken on Friday during fourth block. I thought that the extra police force being on campus was a really great opportunity to do the extra credit and define a person, as a police officer. I like how in focus the two men are, and how their faces are really sharp. If I could change something about this picture, I would have them standing against a more plain background. But overall, I'm pretty happy with how this picture turned out.
