New Flickr page!

Hello everyone!

I am here to tell you about my new Flickr page. I had to make a yahoo email account for one of my college class so I decided to make a Flickr with it. The Flickr page is also for my photography class here. I joined the group so it is easier to sent pictures to them.

I am thinking that I delete my Instagram account because it is so much harder for my to upload picture there. On the Flickr account it is so much easier to upload so please go over and check my account.
Please tell me if you like it better there because I am having a really hard time keeping up my Instagram.

The Link to my Flickr account is below. Feel free to follow me. Also I have already uploaded some pictures so favor them and comment on them!

Thanks for reading and I'll see you at my next exposure!

I'm excited, RU?

Hello everyone!

LOL I know I haven't posted anything in a long long long time but I have some very exciting new that will make everything better!

I have recently gone to college so I have some stuff to do but this is where you get excited.....
I joined my colleges photography club! This is very exciting because this will force me to take more pictures. They are such a nice group of people and I can't wait to start submitting photos.

Now there is a big problem.... I am also joining the club softball team, which is very exciting, but the the photography meetings and softball practices are on the same day same TIME! But don't you worry, photography meetings are only 2 times a week so I will still have time to go. I will try my hardest to manage my time wisely because I am still here for education and want to get good marks.

Second exciting news..... the school computer lab has PHOTOSHOP!!!! This means that I can edit my photographssssss. I was so happy about this that I almost screamed in the computer lap which is not allowed.

Anyway I will try to update a little more and post my photos on my instagram. And you can also look at my photography club's flickr. You should comment nice things and fav all the pictures.

I will end with a photo that I just photoshoped for fun and I'll see you at my next exposure!

Free Choice Friday(#2): Ant-Man review!

What's up everyone!

Hope summer is treading you well. Today is another Free Choice Friday where I am going to review the movie Ant-Man. (Don't ask me why there's a dash in the middle.)

Now I don't know if you guys know but I'm a huge Marvel fan and I was pretty excited for this. If you're not a big fan of Marvel I'll give you a little overview.

Title: Ant-Man (2015)

Rate: PG-13

Length: 117 minutes 

Summary: Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

(Information came from IMDB)










So I'm going to give my thoughts without giving away any spoilers.

Thoughts going into the film...
I was really excited to watch this movie because I love anything marvel. Super hero/action movies are my favorite genera so I was excited to see the fighting and CGI parts.

I really had not ideal what the film was about going into the film. Even though I say I'm a Marvel fan I don't really know all of the super hero's stories because I didn't read the comics. Also I don't like to spoil anything for myself so I didn't watch any trailers.

Thoughts after the film...
I was so so happy after the film. I just felt like everything was done right. Marvel does this great thing where they pick perfect people to be each character. The visual effects and filming were so good (recently I've been very interested in filming and editing). The comedy was top, the right amount where it was both serious and funny.

Although I didn't go into the film knowing a whole lot, I understood the movie as it went along and got the whole thing by the end of the film.

Recommendations...   
Although Ant-Man isn't a super popular in the super hero universe, everyone should watch it because its such a great movie. Think of it like Guardians of the Galaxy, no one knew them but the movie was great. Anyone can watch it from any age and still enjoy it.

Thanks for reading my review. I know I'm not good at these but I'll try to get better. Thanks for reading and I'll see you at my next exposure!

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!
