Project #4 For Digital

Hey hey everyone!

I hope that everyone is having a great great day because everyone deserves to be happy!

So the next project I'm going to show you is Night photography. This ended up being a project that I really really liked.

Night
For this project we had to take 3 types of pictures, one at a long shutter speed, regular flash, and a ghost shot. A ghost shot is when you set up your camera with a tripod and a long shutter speed. C lick to take the picture and walk in the middle of it and it will create a "ghost" image of you.

I'm putting in example picture of the projects to give you  and ideal and then I will show you my pictures.

These are NOT my pictures.

Long shutter speed 

Flash

Ghost

Now my pictures 

So these are my pictures, I hope you like them. My least favorite one is the ghost one but that's ok. Thank you for reading and I'll see you at my next exposure!

Project #3 For Digital

Ello people!

Hope everyone is having a great summer! I am here today to show you guys my next project from digital. This next project was kind of like 2 projects put together but I'll show you guys both. Sooooooo lets get started!

Photo journalism
The point of this project is to take pictures of people so they don't notice you. This project is good if you want to be a journalist and write about news. I love taking pictures of strangers even though it totally weird. I just feel like it's sometimes harder to take pictures of people you know.

So I'm not going to write a caption for all of them like the last post because this wasn't really one of my favorite projects. But when I was looking through all my pictures from the day (we had a class trip for this project) I noticed that I had a lot of pictures of girls with pink jackets on. So this project turned into little girls with pink jackets. 

Architecture

This project was to take old pictures and edit them in a cray weird way. I only had one really good picture of Architecture and the rest I had to take from shutterfly. I didn't so much like this project but I do like taking pictures of buildings because it think Architecture is amazing. 

So the last 2 pictures I used a lot of different and weird filters on. The first one I really like a lot but the quality doesn't look so good. The only thing I did to the first on was that I added blue. 

So this is my 3rd project. I hope you guys liked it! If you try out any of these projects comment below the link to your picture and I'll check it out. Thanks for reading and I'll see you at my next exposure!

Project #2 For Digital

Hello everyone!

Happy 4th of July! It is so nice to not be in school but not nice to be planing for college :(. This is going to be a short post today because the next project was only for one picture.

This project is called Surrealism. For this project you had to take a few pictures and put them together to make make believe scenarios.

Some famous examples:

These are some examples my teacher showed me in class. And the next picture is my project. 

So this is my Surrealism project. What I did was take a picture myself and took a picture of a brick wall. I edited it to make it look like my skin. So in the beginning of this project I had a really big idea that I wanted to use a picture of myself an make myself a tree girl. So my skin would be the bark and my hair would be the branches and leaves. I had taken all my pictures for that project but then my SD broke and I lost all my pictures. This photo only had 2 pictures but my teacher loved it so much that she said it was fine.  This picture won me an award for our local art show. 

I was so upset about losing all my pictures on my SD card and felt like I would die. Even though that happened a really good project and an award came out of it. So something bad happens, try and look for the good side because something better could come out of it. 

So I hope you all like my photo and you have a great day. I'll see you at my next exposure!

Project #1 for Digital

Hey hey everyone!

I'm so sorry about how slow I was with all my posts! I just had my prom and graduated last week so summer is all free for blogger. I will really try hard to make an effort to blogging. Today I will be showing you my first project from digital photography. Our first project was macro, opposites, point of view,  and shapes. These were really simple projects that our teacher assigned us so we could learn how to use or cameras.

Macro
Macro is a really close up shot of an object. The background is a usually a little blurry. For this project I didn't have a macro lens but if you zoom up really close on an object it gives it a macro like effect. There is also a macro setting on most camera, it should be a flower icon.

This picture I took at the mall. It was a piece of clothing that was through a window. I'm surprised how clean it came out since I shot it through a window. 

This is one of my favorite pictures because it is so clear. I took this outside on a sunny day. 

This is just a picture of a tree. It don't really like this one because it's boring but the details are nice.

I love the color of the strawberry but this is mostly because of photoshop. I do like this picture but i wish the background wasn't my ugly table. 

Shapes
Shapes are everywhere so you could pretty much take pictures of this project everywhere.

This picture was taken at the mall near my house. I really like this shot because it was so clear. Also this sky light is new to the mall so I thought it was pretty. 

This is a car's hubcap. I don't know who's car this is but it was good for a picture! haha. My teacher said that if I as more professional then she would make me clean all the metal.   

This picture was also taken at the mall. Its the side of an elevator . This shot is nice but not so interesting.

I hate this picture so I'm just not gonna say anything about it. 

Opposites
This was the hardest project to take because I couldn't think of any creative shots to take. I ended up taking a shot that my teacher suggested me and my other shot was by accident.

This picture was the accident that ended up working for the project.  I really really love this picture though. 

This picture counted as an opposite because I am taking a picture outside the car but I'm taking it for inside the car. This is really just an okay picture for me.

Point of View

I really love the style of this picture and how the plants are in the center. the coffee spilled is really funny though. 

I hated editing this picture because my teacher wanted me to take out all the lights on the roof. It was so annoying but it turned out nice. 

So these are all of the pictures from the first projects from my digital class. If you don't really know what to take picture of these projects are really helpful. They help you refresh you mind about you pov and maybe you'll get some great pictures out of it! 

Well thanks for reading and I'll post another one so! See you all at my next exposure!

First time I dropped my camera

Hello everyone.

Spring has just started but it's still so cold. I am on spring break now so that's a big plus! I can take way more pictures and start studying for APs -.-. The first day of spring for me was snowing like crazy and that reminded me about something dreadful that happened in the winter.

One days I went over to my friends house to take some pictures. It was really cold because it was still winter but we still wanted to take some pictures outside. So all we did was we went around her neighborhood. Our first stop was this park near her house. There was this baseball field covered by snow and there was only one pathway shoved for people to walk. We were walking on the path and taking pictures as you do. My friend stopped to take some pictures when I saw a water fountain.

The first thing that came into my head was "I want to stand on that" so that's what I did. My friend turned around from her picture and said "how did you get up their so fast". She turned her camera towards me to take a picture and when to pose and then........ it happened.

I dropped my camera.

When it initially happened I  was very scared. Note that this is the first( and only) time I dropped my camera so I was freaking out about it breaking. My mom paid a lot of money to get me this and if I break it, not only would my mom kill me, I would kill myself. The reason that my camera dropped was because I lost a part of my neck strap. I lost one of the little plastic things your loop the straps into to make it stay. They way I tied my the staps to my camera were really bad so that's why it fell.

In the end it was nothing to bad. It has a mark on the side and the lense go dirty but the camera still works and that's the most important. This is a reminder to always have a secure neck strap on when you are going out to take pictures. I use the one given when you buy the camera but I know some people make their out straps.

I love love LOVE my camera but that doesn't mean I'm gonna be perfect. I will drop it more times and I will touch the lense by accident but hopefully I don't.

Thank you all for reading and please check out my Instagram at www.Instagram.com/Exposureyourself and follow and like all my pictures. Hope spring brings . warmer weather and I'll see you at my next exposure.

Free Choice Friday(#1): Intro to Computer Science

Hello everyone!

This is my first Free Choice Friday. This is where I talk about  something that isn't photography based.

Today I am going to talk about another new class I am taking this semester. I know I have been taking a lot of new classes. This class is called Intro to Computer Science. The reason I was interested in this is because my uncle is really good with computers. Another reason is that I realized that since I use a computer so often then maybe I should actually learn how programs are made. Computers are very interesting machines that, if you ever have a chance, everyone should learn about.

What is this class?
This class is about computer programing. The program you mainly learn is html. The beginning of the class you learn number system and problem solving. So if you really want to learn programming then you might be a little bored in the beginning.

How did you hear about this class? 
-I heard about this class because my math teacher in 11th grade is the teacher of the class. Since it is a new class this year she was promoting it last year.

Is there homework/tests? 
-There is some homework. If you don't finish you homework in class then you have to finish it in class. My teacher doesn't check the homework everyday but she does sometimes so you should always do your homework. There a tests too. The reason there are tests is because this class is preparation for the AP computer science class.

Do you like html?
-I do like html. Its pretty simple, the only thing that is hard about it is that there are a lot of codes that you need to know. What I do for now when I code is that I keep the note sheets that my teacher gave to me and whenever I don't know a code, then I look at my notes.

Do you want to do more coding in the future?
-I want to take coding classes in college. This is a skill that I want to remember so if I don't keep practicing it then I wont remember it. I might not take classes in college because I don't want to have too many classes to stress about so if not then I might join a coding club.

Do you like the class?
-There are a lot of things that I like about this class. One of my close guy friends is in the same class as me. I really like taking to him because he's really funny and can make me laugh. Also the teacher is my favorite Math teacher so I'm glad I can hang with her cause she's awesome. Then coding in general is just fun to me.

Thanks for reading my blog and please check out my other post on here. Also follow me on Instagram @Exposureyourself. Until next time, I'll see you at my next exposure.
