Blurrrr Project

For the blur project I only had a few subjects that I chose, and then I applied combinations of different exposure times and aperture settings, so I could see the effects of each one and choose the best of each. 

For this over traffic shot, I liked the 6 and 8 seconds exposure times best. 

^ Exposure Time: 8 seconds ^

^ Exposure Time: 6 seconds ^

^ Exposure Time: I'm pretty sure it was 6 seconds ^

I thought clothes rolling around in a dryer would be a good idea, but it didn't turn out exactly how I would have liked. If I was to do this picture again, I would definitely get some sort of light pointing in or towards the dryer to illuminate the clothes a lot more, to get a better blur effect. 

Multiple-Exposure

"Many me's"

For this multiple exposure I had my dog sit in a different spot on the stairs 5 different times. Each time she was looking in a different direction, or doing something slightly different, so it believably looks like a lot of different dogs. 

Classic family portrait-style pose. With me, myself, and I (I is taking the picture).

Self-Portrait Project

For the self-portrait project, I tried to take each picture at a different time, different location, and/or different activity.

Rule of Thirds/Symmetry

The two pictures above are examples of the "rule of thirds"

The picture above is an example of symmetry (balanced proportions; property of sameness)

One Thing Project

For this project we had to choose one thing and find as many different angles as we could. I figured that I bigger object would be better, so I chose my bike. I got a lot of really good shots, but one of my favorites is the one pictured below. I thought it had really good depth and gave an interesting perspective.

Portrait Project

For the portrait project I decided to broaden the subject to include many people rather than just one or two. I went and photographed quite a few strangers (none pictured below), I did a fall-themed "photoshoot" with a friend and ended up taking a couple last-minute pictures of one of my other friends, which turned out just as well as the more planned pictures did!

This was one of the last minute pictures

These two were from the fall-themed "photo shoot"

I was able to climb up pretty high in a tree to get this angle, which I liked a lot.

Photgram Project

Finding different objects that let through different amounts of light for our photograms was fun, for the first one I tried using scattered paperclips, but they were too thin and did not come out right.

So, instead I used a small level, which had the little bubble thing in the middle and allowed for some various amounts of light (or lack of) to get through. 

For the second one, I tried to find some transparent objects to place on the paper. I used a fishing fly, which had a little feather on the end, and 2 guitar picks, which weren't as transparent as I thought.
