Class I
01
A flower found in nature.
For my flower picture, I didn't just want to take a picture of any flower. I wanted to find a really nice looking flower to photograph. Eventually, I found a flower I wanted to photograph. I decided to get a top down picture just to change up how I regularly take photos.
02
A road to somewhere.
For my landscape picture I wanted to get a picture of the road. I liked the way the road turned near my school, so I decided to photograph that. I found a perfect curve of the road and took the landscape picture.
03
Ready to eat.
I needed a picture of food however that's not as easy to find inside of a school. We're not allowed in the lunch room, so I had to get creative. Me and a couple of friends went searching around the entire school, asking people if they had any food. Finally, a teacher we came across was able to help out. I found this plate of chopped lettuce sitting around and I took the picture.
04
Just wait until he falls down.
I love nature, so I knew it would be perfect for my macro photo. While I was walking around outside, I found a beautiful tree. I noticed this small piece of tree hanging off to the side; It looked perfect for a macro picture. The lighting took a bit of messing around with, but when it was set perfectly I took the picture.
05
Ray's of sunshine.
For symmetry, I had to find something that could fit that within the school. There were a couple things that were symmetrical, but they weren't worth taking a picture of. I decided to take a picture of the double doors because on top of being symmetrical, the shine coming through the doors looked nice. So I took the picture and upped the highlights coming through the windows.
06
Could you fit any more words?
For my pattern assignment, I wanted to get something that not many people would think of. While walking around, I found a board with this pattern surrounding it. It was pretty unique; I don't usually see patterns like this. I got the best angle I could and took the picture.
07
That's a lot of history he's holding.
Shortly after walking into the library, me and Daniel found a book about Napoleon's life featuring a part of his face on the book cover. Daniel held the book up to his face for me to take the bookface picture.
08
He looks happy...
Daniel took his framed picture of me standing in front of a window, so I decided to take one of him standing on the other side of a door.
09
Lead me on out of here.
Walking through the forest. I found this small puddle that looked like a stream. The small stream was leading somewhere so I decided it would be perfect for my leading lines picture.
10
What if you tried red?
For my choice picture, I wanted to use lighting. I had my friend Daniel stand next to the blue light, so that I could take a portrait shot of him. I think the picture came out nice. Daniel's lifeless expression goes perfect with the color of the light.
11
Is it getting a bit steamy?
For this picture, I noticed some condensation on one of the school windows, so I decided it would be the perfect spot to capture a picture of my friend Daniel. I had Daniel stand outside, face to the window, with his eyes closed. After that, I snapped the picture, getting a nice picture of Daniel behind a condensed window.
12
Watch where you're going.
Humor, in my opinion, is a bit hard to capture in a photograph. However, I think I was able to capture it pretty well here. I had my friend, Daniel, pretend like he was slipping next to this wet floor sign we found. Me and Daniel both laughed after looking at the picture.
13
They must think they're soo cool.
Whilst looking for places to take a group picture, a friend of mine noticed a convex mirror in the library that would be perfect for a group picture. I positioned myself at an angle, so that I don't appear in frame, and took the picture.
14
Just wait until the light come on.
A silhouette picture needs some light behind it. I decided to have my friend, Daniel, pose for my silhouette picture. I had a beautiful purple color as the light shinning through. The pillars to the left and right in the picture were the cherry on top, adding some interest to the picture.
15
Not so hidden now.
For my black and white picture of an animal, I needed some exotic type of animal. Although a gecko may not be that exotic, a gecko is still pretty cool. It was really hard getting the little critter to pose for my picture, but I think he posed well enough.
16
Who's been littering?
This reflection perfectly encapsulated what I was looking for in a reflection picture. The foliage appears as if it's flooded, thus the name "Flooded Reflections." There's even a cup lid in the background adding even more to that flood like feel. I was able to get a beautiful reflection picture whilst also giving off a sense of flooding through the water and grass.
17
Please don't start a forest fire.
This tree was the perfect subject for my texture assignment; not only did the wood bark have the perfect texture, but with some editing, it also had the perfect color. With some great photography skills and editing, I was able to get the perfect texture picture which has a charred look to the bark.
18
How many kidneys for one?
For this assignment, I wanted to capture the iPhone. I was able to use a light box to get a nice lighting around the phone. The texture of the lightbox's walls added more to the shot, so I left it in. In the end, I got the perfect product shot.
19
Not much thinking going on there.
In this picture, you can see the end of a hallway inside of my friend, Daniel. This photograph is supposed to picture what Daniel has on his mind, which is to finally be done with the school day, and leave.
20
The loneliest pine cone.
For this picture, I had to find something quick. I was gonna be late on a assignment and hadn't taken any top down view pictures as needed. I quickly found a pine cone surrounded by the yellow and brown colored leaves. This picture was shot in daylight however looks as if it were shot in the dark with a single beam of light. Contrasting Pine? One side of the pine cone is full of light whilst the other is engulfed in dark.
21
One light for your spirits.
I wanted to capture that Christmas spirit in one picture. Thankfully, there was a Christmas tree set up in my school. I decided I would take a picture of it, but I didn't just want a generic Christmas tree picture, so I decided to get a different angle of the tree. I went underneath the tree and found an ornament next to a Christmas light. The way I found them, they looked perfect next to each other. On one side you have a Christmas ornament, and a light on the other.
