Illustrating a Noun

For the noun photo shoot I chose playfulness. I took pictures of my siblings and cousins in a field next to my grandmas house. I saw the kids playing around with each other and just went out and started taking pictures of them. I used no distractions and depth of field. I really like taking pictures of people so I used my voice by photographing people. If i could change something about this project i would have gotten different people than just my family.

My Photo

For this assignment I chose Garry Winogrand as my photographer. I really enjoy street art and his especially. He was able to capture people doing normal everyday things but the way he captured each moment was really cool. To get my pictures I went downtown Noblesville and downtown Indianapolis. It was pretty cold so I also took pictures in the circle center mall. When Garry took pictures he would just take the most random pictures and most of them never got printed so setting my scene was pretty easy although for some pictures i used my friends. I really enjoy photographing people so this assignment was fun for me. 

Alphabet Soup

Our last shoot of the semester was taking pictures of subjects that take the shape of letters. We then used the letters to make our names or something about us. This shoot was harder than it looked but it also makes you get up and look around your world for letters and specific shapes. Some of the letters were easy and I could find multiples of them but others were almost impossible to find. I always see these types of compositions in peoples houses and never thought of making one myself.

ISO shoot reflection

For the ISO shoot i took pictures of anything in the light. Some of my pictures are of my siblings and some are just of random objects. If the pictures are of my siblings I set up the scene by having them play outside or pose, otherwise the scene was already set. I used depth of field and other rules of composition such as don't center. My strength was the indoor lighting pictures and i struggled on some of the night time pictures just because it was hard to get the ISO level just right.

Shutter Speed and Motion Reflection

For this assignment I took pictures of my siblings mostly. We went on a hike and I took my camera with me. In the picture above we were just outside our house at night. For other pictures i took pictures at my brothers basketball game. In the hiking pictures the scene was already set and i just took pictures of my siblings doing activities. In the dark pictures I gave my sisters my phones and turned on the flash lights while they made shapes. I didn't center through out all my pictures and I avoided distractions. I also used depth of field. I choose my siblings because they are always being active and willing to help me with photography assignments. My strengths where the blur and freeze pictures. My weakness was definitely panning. I would have made time to put in more subject matter.

depth of field reflection

The depth of field assignment was to take pictures o subjects using the different depth of field adjustments we learned in class. I took pictures around my neighborhood where there was a lot of stuff going on in the foreground and background of pictures. I used the rules of compositions we've learned in past classes and photo shoots. In the picture above I used the do not center rule and emphasis. The dandelion fuzz popped of the green grass and its a little to the side in the picture. The blurred background colors are similar to the dandelion so that creates unity in the picture. I didn't really incorporate my voice into this assignment but I saw the world differently by getting up close to things and seeing everything different. My strengths on this assignment were understanding the different depths of field and my weaknesses were getting out more and getting a variety of pictures. If i could change something about this assignment it would be to get more and better subject mater than my neighborhood.

THE FUTUUUUUUURE

Where do you see photography in the next 10, 50, 100 years?
How do you think photographers of the future will continue to push the envelop and stay fresh 10, 50, 100 years in the future?

In the future I want to be able to have glasses or contacts that can take photos. A lot of the time people see something that they think would be a good photo but when they get their camera out to take the photo they can't get it focused or it doesn't look as good so with the glasses and contacts they could just take the picture as they saw it. 
I think future photographers will continue to develop new ideas and camera techniques in the future because they know what they need and if they are passionate enough about it then they will figure out a way to keep the developments going.
