Newspaper Passing

Newspaper Passing

These pictures were of the newspaper crew passing out their work and yes these photos are pretty old. The yearbook needed some pictures of them passing out newspapers for a spread. I don't believe the actual spread made it but none the less it was still shot. It was an okay assignment and it wasn't hard to shoot.

I like this picture because it shows some them actually working and talking to the teacher. I don't like it because of the computer kind of being the spot that catches your eye and its an okay photo.

f/3.5, 1/40, Iso 800

I like this picture because it is shot correctly. I don't like it because it is a very bland and boring picture. Its not good at all.

Old Photos

Old christmas (Its been a while.)

These photos are extremely old and they were obviously taken last year. Im using these pictures because I need something to talk about at least. Hah. This was for a photo assignment about christmas overspending and consumerism. It was a very american thing to right about and it was a fairly good article so that was chill. In all honesty these all look like stock photos from commons but hey who is complaining.

f/ 4.5, 1/100, Iso 800

I like this photo because of the depth of field and how the displays are set up. I don't like this picture because its a very mediocre picture with absolutely no thought put into it.

f/4.5, 1/125, Iso 800

I like this photo for the same reasons up above and the christmas tree adds a nice color to it. I don't like it because it is a very simple picture.

Top Architecture

Top Architecture Photos

These photos were taken for the top photography in the thematic category. All of the architecture photos that I took were shot after school with some of the other photographers. Needless to say that there photos were ten times better than mine but ill be darned if I didn't try hah. In all honesty I did get some really good photos out of that which I'm extremely grateful for and one did get used in the actual portfolio. Here are some of the photos that were taken by me. 

 f/ 3.5, 1/160, Iso 100

I like this photo because it an interesting shot of a building and shows a little bit of history. I don't like it because it is a rather bland photo with a weird composition.

f/3.5, 1/20, Iso 100

I really like this photo because it has an interesting composition in the photo and has a cool effect with the two windows.

I don't like it though because the corner on top is blown out and that really it.

Newspaper Assignments

Newspaper Assignments

I was assigned to take some pictures of certain people for the stories that were going in the newspaper. The central theme that is in these stories that these people are going to college on a scholarship and they have shown academic excellence. I congratulate them fully because these individuals deserve what they worked so hard for and what they dreamed about since the beginning of their high school career.    

 f/2.8, 1/250, Iso 1000

I like this picture a lot because it is shot properly, it is well lit for being inside the gym and its a good shot. I don't like it because its a very simple picture and not interesting.

f/4.0, 1/100, Iso 400

I like this picture because it is a standard shot of two people and it shows where they are going on their shirts. I don't like it because it is blown out in the corner and it is decent overall. 

Basketball Again...Senior Night

Basketball Senior Night 

It was the basketball teams last game and we ended up wining by landslide. Whats more is that kinda sucked but besides that it was a rather enjoyable experience that was fun to shoot. 

 f/4.0, 1/250, Iso 1600
This happened after they had passed to someone who was in the back and the player went up for a dunk and this is pre-dunk. It was rather exciting and funny. I like this picture a lot because it is a good action shot and it was taken correctly.   

f/4.0, 1/250, Iso 1600
I like this picture because it is an action shot and it is shot well. I don't like it because it is lit weird and the guy in the back looks like he is touching the dudes butt.

T-Bots Check Recieving

T-bots

About a week back the robotics team at our school, respectively called the t bots, received a check from their sponsor AEP SWEPCO. They gained about 6,000 dollars for the robotics program which is quite an accomplishment.

f/6.3,  1/250, Iso 800

I like this picture because it is a simple picture and to the point. I don't like it because of how basic it is.

 Iso 800, f/2.8, 1/60 sec

I like this picture because it has the focus on the kid but also keeps the adult in semi focus. I don't like this picture because it is also basic

Childhood Fear

Childhood Fear

These photos are based around the central theme of childhood fear. Mine was the fear of being alone or lost so I had to come up with ideas. These photos are not edited yet nor are they processed. They are kinda rough but still good. My only problem is how can I capture the emotion fear.

 1/2000, Iso 400, f/2.8

I like this photo a lot because the background and then balloon's contrast with his shirt. I also like how his hand is over his eye to make it look deep. I don't like it because i don't know if it shows fear at all really.

1/800, Iso 100, f/4.0

I like this a lot because the shadows and how it has a good contrast. I don't like it because I still don't know if it shows fear.
