I am partners with Emily Wright. We  have decided to replicate a fashion magazine.

Creative Controls - Depth of Field

This photograph was taken in my backyard, and demonstrates a shallow depth of field because the edge of the flower is clearly focused while the background is blurred.

This photo was taken in my backyard as well, and demonstrates a  very shallow depth of field.  The dandelion is clearly focused, while the background is extremely blurred, showing circles of confusion.

In addition to the other photos, this photo was taken in my backyard. Like the others, this photo shows a shallow depth of field , where the leaf is extremely clear and detailed, while the background is very blurred.

This photo was taken in NE Portland, in a abandoned building that had burned down, and been filled with graffiti. This photo shows a deep depth of field because all of the objects are clearly focused.

My last photograph is a image of my friend Sydney, that was taken in the abandonment building. This image shows a shallow depth of field, because my friend and specific strands of her hair especially, are clearly focused while the background is not.

Assignment 5: Creative Controls - Motion

Freeze Action: This photo was taken down at Chapman Elementary school in the tennis courts. We were playing with a soccer ball, and as my friend jumped up to hit the ball I captured a photo of him in mid air. To take this photo I used a very fast shutter speed.



Panning: This is a photo I took of my brother in our backyard on our porch. To capture the panning effect I used a low shutter speed, and as my brother walked across the porch I slowly moved my camera with him.



Camera Shake: This is a photo of flowers in my backyard. To capture this image I used a low shutter speed, and as I pressed down on the shutter button, I quickly moved away from the flowers. By doing this, the center of the image is more focused while the outer edges are blurred and look shaky.



Slow Motion: This is a photo of a disco ball and my brother in the background. To capture this photo I turned the light off in the room in order for the light in the disco ball to stand out. By using a low shutter speed, as the disco ball spun around, the camera captured the motion of the ball turning. Because the shutter speed was so slow, I placed my camera on a tripod in order to get no human shake.



Slow Motion: This is another photo of my brother, who was doing cartwheels and handstands in our backyard. To create this photo, I used a low shutter speed and took multiple images of my brother doing tricks in the same spot. I then took three of the photos and blended them together to create a layering effect.



Total Motion: This photo was taken down at Chapman Elementary School as well. It is a  image of my friend riding their bike, and as they were moving, I slowly moved the camera, using a low shutter speed, so the final product then had total motion.
