On this one i took a reflective picture of myself in the chrome handle of a pickup box

This photo is of the tire tracks on the ice a kind of abstract art.

Post 8: Critiquing

      I will be critiquing my own macro shot of a tree and its bark:   Ranked from needs improvment,fair,good, and pass

Subject: Pass
       There is a clear subject. (the tree and bark)
Background: Needs Improvment
       I should have set the camera settings to incorperate a sharp background which is very blurry.
Exposure: Pass
      Exposure is great there is no dark or overly bright spots.
Focus: Good
      The focus has issues because the tree is of good quality however the background is all fuzzy.
Fill the Frame: Pass
      The frame is filled by the tree and looks attractive.
Level: Pass
      The horizon is level. It may not look that way because of the trees in the way, but its level.

Post 7: Nature and Rule of thirds

                                                                                            This is my far away shot of the river along with all the trees surrounding it. 

This week in digital photography were looking at the theme of beauty in nature. We also critiqued our own picture and created a biography on a famous photographer.

 Using rule of thirds I took a picture of this tree along with a snowy background.

Finally, this is my macro shot that describes texture with the bark. It also shows how nature has interesting details.

Post 6: Tryptych

 This week in digital photography we critqued photos and had a test on multiple photography lessons weve had so far. This assignment was to create a Tryptych of a common object. I chose to do a barbecue lighter amongst my clothes, laptop and other things around the house.

My first photo is a far away view of the lighter.

The second is from a medium range.

Lastly, my final photo is a marco shot, it may look like it is improperly exposed but it was the effect I was going for.

Post 5: Group Pictures

This week in digital pictures we took group photos. I had 5 people in my group. These are the pictures I took of them. I used framing with the trees from left,right and elevated standpoints. I also used the side of a shed to give an interesting background.

We also did some other assignments this week. We made our own personal photography code of conducts. Our class edited the October school newsletter as well.

Post 4:Unusual Perspective

This week we learnt about different photography concepts such as angles,depth, and perspective. When taken from an abnormal angle a picture catches the viewers eye, saying "hmmm Thats different." We also learned about the many occupations invovled within the field of photography. Looking at the pros and cons of the jobs we looked at is a good way to find what's right for you.Perspective is a fun concept. For instance you can put a person holding up a car or somebody climbing out of cup. Here are my concept photos I took on my photo-shoot.

 The door into the basement viewed from above adds a different perspective than from just walking at eye level.

Unless you work with tires or brakes I doubt that you have ever seen a wheel from this angle. The raised part of the rim looks very different with the bolts than from eye level.

This one I like most because it is a view nobody can have because your head would get in the way when that close to the tree. This perspective also makes the tree look giant and the bark look more detailed.

This photo is of the tower located just outside the school. This perspective brings the illusion of the tower streching on endlessly. It also has some depth when you look at the close up supprts against the middle ones and then the sky.

Post 3 Rule of thirds and framing

This week in digital pictures our class learnt about rule of thirds which is the concept of not having the main subject in the middle of the picture. It is more appealing to viewers if your subject is located on an intersecting line when you divide your screen like a tictactoe board. Framing was straightforward, it enhances the picture when you have an interesting frame and it also bolds out your subject. Our class took photos representing these rules, these are the ones I took.

This is a picture I took of my locker my belongings are framed by the locker/door.

This one is my favorite because I used rule of thirds and the photo had depth because of the buliding in front of the truck.

 This photo is Mack framed by the truck box. His shadow blending with the box shadow adds interest to the picture

I took a photo of the man on the guys washroom wall. I used rule of thirds and framing. The man is framed by the wall and is positioned to the left following the vertical line.

Post 2 Theme: Looking Up

What did I do in class this week?
 This week in class i completed a photography time line from the first camera obscura to the newest in printing technology. With the many advances in photography in recent years it makes me wonder if there will be a breakthrough in my lifetime.I also answered questions regarding important inventors and people in the history of photography. Our class went on a Photo scavenger hunt with the theme, Looking Up.

Theme and Pictures:

This weeks theme is Looking Up I find it an interesting theme because there are countless pictures you can chose from and everybody wont have the same picture. My first picture is looking up at the birds, probably flying south for the winter. The second photo is of the old grandstands that are used at the Manitoba stampede. I tried to get some pigeons in the picture but none were around the building. My third picture is of the gloomy day we had while taking pictures. I saw the sun trying to get through and I thoughtit would make a good picture
