Holiday/Season Capture

The mode used to take this photo was portrait. As you can see, this picture merges with the holiday that everyone is looking forward to, Christmas. This painting was illustrated by a student from Mr. Pro's class, it's not officially done but we all know the concept of a tree for the season of Christmas. 

Patterns in Nature

This is a good picture because the colors of the flower is in-contrast with the background. Portrait mode is my favorite mode because I like to capture the subject of my photo; which in this case brings out the the main attraction (being the flower) and makes it pop!

Photo of the Week

This is my photo of the week because it highlights the patterns of nature. My camera was on portrait mode as you can see with the blur of the background. The leaves make this my favorite photo of the week because there is so much patterns in nature and we all need to start opening our eyes to it. 

Group Photo

Favorite Photo Friday

I like this photo because my group is in it. My group is the friendliest people you'll ever meet and I connect with them instantly. This describes our relationship because Mary was being her usual goofy self, Joel always serious and me being 100% lost half the time. 

Perspective

Framing

Framing enhances a photo by making the subject stand out. The frame used here was not planned. I saw Joel through the holes of the gate and just then decided to take the picture.  This frame made the picture stand out because the subject, Joel, was the only thing in focus. There weren't really any drawbacks because the the hole made it easy for me to take the picture. 

Self Timer Self Portrait

Three tips I would recommend the photographer to do is to 

- smile

- not stay too far from the camera

- make sure the lighting is not too dark/bright 

Patterns

The picture of the stairs was my favorite becaause the pattern of the stairs make the picture come out better. Also, the pattern wasn't planned which makes it inorganic. 

Leading Lines

Action Photographs

The multiple shot mode effected the quality of the picture by sharpening the action in the photo. The more shots you take the more sharper and faster the photo comes out. It's very difficult to take action pictures because the subject doing the action is always moving. Many times the person shifts directions which makes it even more difficult. 

Contrast

This picture was both organic and staged. The people in the picture just happened to be standing there wearing pink and white sneakers. The mode dial was set to portrait. I put it on portrait because I wanted the sneakers to pop out of the photo more. I think the picture came out great even though it's composition was both organic and staged. 

Rule of Thirds

I did not actually intend to take this picture using the rule of thirds.  It came out better than how I thought it would. The rule of thirds helped enhance my photo by leaving the subject focused on. The mode dial that was used, was portrait which enhanced the photo even more to look the way it is.

Night Portrait

Without Tripod

With Tripod

The second picture is more clearer because the camera was placed on a tripod. Without the tripod, the picture world be blurry because using your hand wouldn't be stable.

Landscape Photo

I decided to take this picture because I wanted to emphasize the use of the landscape mode. The picture came out well and I was happy with the results. 

Landscape versus Portrait

As you can see this picture mode was taken in Landscape. Nothing is focused on, and the background is as clear as the people in the photo. 

This picture was taken in portrait mode. The two people are the only things focused on and the background is blurred.  

Landscape mode would be better used when there is nothing you want to be focused on. For example, when you are taking a picture of a stadium, nothing is really focused on but the whole arena.

Depth of Focus

The mode dial setting that was used, was on portrait. I was pretty far away from Joel taking the picture. Everything in the background was blurred and my hand was the only thing that was focused on. Overall the picture is fine, but the way the picture was taken could've been better.
