Motion Final

 Blurred Motion

 Frozen Motion

 Zooming

Writing with Light

Chrono

Kendra and I worked together in a group during class, but we worked separately for the projects.  I like the idea of capturing motion and in a picture, but I have to be honest, I like having a clear and focused picture.  Therefore my favorite type of motion picture is the frozen motion.  But I also thought the writing with light was really cool.  Zooming was probably the hardest and I had to take many pictures to work out the lighting and timing.  I learned how to create a good kind of blur, and it does look really cool.  Panning was also really difficult, and it took many trials and errors to get it to come out right.  Kendra and Frances really helped me figure out the technique.  I think that Chrono is probably the most fun.  Trying to capture motion in Chrono is particularly hard, so I just had a stationary subject.  I purposely made it so that you would not see her face in the picture.  I have been having a bit of trouble expressing myself and communicating, so I wanted to show people how easy it is for someone to hide in plain view.  She is easily visible, but her emotions are unreadable.     

Motion Shooting Assignment

Motion Planning

I really like the idea of taking a picture of one of my family members riding a bike, because my family often enjoys riding bikes together.  We are usually pretty active, and I consider myself athletic, even though health problems kept me from participating in sports this year.  I think I will try the rule of thirds or a worm's eye view.  I am thinking of a shutter speed of .8 seconds with an ISO of 100 because the shot will be taken outside.  The aperture will probably end up being pretty high.

I want to take a picture of my little sister or a friend running track because that used to be a large part of my life, and I still love to run.  I will probably try to get a shutter speed of 1 second, and an 100 ISO because I will be outside.  As a result I am guessing that my aperture will be close to its maximum value.  Unfortunately, I think my subject will end up in the middle of the photograph.

I already have a frozen motion picture of a flag using the rule of thirds.  However, if I had to do it again, or try something else.  I would take a picture of my brother doing karate.  This goes along with my (sort of ) theme of sports so I may follow through with the idea.  My shutter speed would be really fast, maybe 1/300.  As a result, my ISO will be higher, but I would still prefer my brother was outside, so I think an ISO around 800 would be good.  I will attempt to use the bird's eye view perspective.


I also already have a zoomed picture; it's flowers on a tree.  And while it looks cool, I'm beginning to really like the idea of having a unified theme (of sports).  So I was thinking of attempting of possibly zooming a sports logo, or something stationary that represents sports, like a soccer ball or football.  I want a shutter speed of 1 second.  The ISO will be fairly low, maybe 100 because I still want natural light.  I think I want all of my shots to be in natural light.  The aperture will be close to maximum.

I couldn't find a picture to really capture what I want, but I'm having a little trouble incorporating sports with light.  What I'm thinking now, is that maybe I could weave glow sticks into badminton rackets (an intense family summer sport) and then have my family play in the late evening, which is when we usually play anyway. I will need a really extended shutter speed, I'm thinking 30 seconds.  The ISO maybe around 800 or possibly 400 and I really have no clue where the aperture will be.

Writing with Light Group Experiment

I really loved trying this new style of photography.  My favorite were the ones where we incorporated the glow sticks because I loved all the glow sticks.  I think next time I would have a slightly shorter shutter speed.  Our ISO was 400, Aperture was 4.5, and our shutter speed was Bulb.
