For this week's assignment, I chose to do people. For this, I hung out with my friends and just took pictures of them goofing off, trying to receive the most candid photos I could. Sometimes this was difficult because they were moving too much and were blurred in the photos. I found this assignment easy because the pictures capture the personality of the people and the fun they were having. What I learned from this assignment is that some of the best photos are the ones that are unexpected. I chose this photograph as my best because they fill the frame and their smiles reflect the genuine fun they were having that afternoon. Best Photo

For this week's photo assignment I decided to do black and white. I decided to do this because I liked the way many of my other pictures look in black and white and decided to use them for this assignment. What I learned from this project was that even though a photo looks good in color, it may not look as good in black and white. I decided that this was my best photo because I liked the character that the black and white gave the picture. The black and white simplifies that picture while also making it more interesting with all of the different shades that are visible. Best PhotoThis week I decided to do light painting. Earlier this week we learned about light painting and the different ways to achieve certain looks. This was interesting because I was able to learn by trial and error the best way to create a light painting. I used my sister as my subject in several of the pictures as well as another pair of hands for others. I chose this as my best photo because I liked the way that the light reflected off of both the ground and the subject. If I were to create this again I would try different patterns or different colored lights to receive a different affect. Best PhotoFor this week's assignment I decided to photograph nature around Ann Arbor. As I walked around, it was difficult to take multiple pictures because everything is very similar, but changing the angle as well as the position of the subject in the frame allowed for multiple great pictures to be taken of the same object. My best photo is the of the swan and the duck. I liked this photograph because the swan and the duck are both positioned in the same way. I also like the depth that is created in the picture with the bushes in the front of the photo. Best PhotoFor this assignment, I chose to do macro. In this project, I tried to take macro photographs that would show the texture of the object as well as the details of the subject. Some of the photographs had to retaken multiple times because they picture did not turn out how I wanted them. While shooting these pictures I learned that lighting can affect the way texture is portrayed in an image. My best photograph is of a painting hanging in my house that was painted by my Great-Great Uncle. This picture emphasizes the texture of the canvas and the brush strokes made creating the painting. Best PhotoThis week I did still life photography. For this project, I went around trying to find objects that I could take interesting photographs of. There were several things that looked great around my house, many of the pictures that I took, did not look as good as the actual object. All of the photos I took were sorted through until 10 photo were found that were worthy of the project. During this project I learned different ways to light a subject and a room to create a different effect. I also learned how to hid mine and the camera's shadow. My best picture is of one of my dad's many old cameras that he collects. I liked this picture because the light was shining so where the bulb would have been and well as across the lens, giving the camera an interesting look. Best PhotoThis week's photo assignment I chose architecture because I have always found it interesting no matter where I go. For this assignment, I visited University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University to take picture of the buildings with interesting architecture. Although it was cold outside and I could barely feel my fingers, the sun was shining, allowing me to take multiple shots of the architecture with great lighting. During this assignment, I learned to adjust the settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) of the camera as well as the position of the camera, relative to the subject, to create a photograph which portrayed the aspects of the architecture. The best picture I took for this project was the back of a building near EMU. I think this picture is my best because it shows the rugged character of the building through the different back porches and the condition they are in. Overall, my pictures showed the interesting aspects of the architecture, both old and new. Best PhotoAssignment DescriptionThis assignment focuses on the elements of composition. I was challenged to take photographs around school and in my free time that correspond with each of the eleven elements. The elements include: Texture, Rule of Thirds, Pattern, Depth of Field, Lines, Framing, Perspective, Space, Balance, Color and Symmetry. Composition PhotographsWhat I Have LearnedThrough this project I have learned the various elements of composition that I will be able to apply to future photographs. On top of the elements of composition, I learned how to use Adobe Bridge, enabling me to organize and manage my photos as I narrow my many photos down to the final product.
