Modern Convenience

A modern convenience I can’t live without is a camera. Even creating these photoblogs requires a camera. The camera in this photo is very modern with the highest tech for film making. Over the years, films keep getting higher and higher quality. This was Behind the Scenes of my friends feature film REBEL. In this photo, the aperture is F 4.5, shutter speed is 1/64, and ISO 2,000.

Deadly Sins

Of the seven deadly sins, I chose this image that represents sloth. This picture of my room was taken after I had come back from vacation and when I decided I was going to rearrange my entire room so it was an absolute mess for about a week. When looking at this image, it could be seen as lazy or lack of effort to put things away. In this image, the aperture is F1.6, shutter speed is 1/60, and ISO 125.

Film Noir

Toward the light

This image embodies film noir because it has a dark feel to it. There is imbalanced lighting, a light coming in from one direction bouncing off one side of the face and arm giving an accent light. The other side is dull and disappears into the darkness. The shutter speed is 1/200, aperture is F3.5, and ISO 1,000.

Long Shutter Speed Exposure

This photo was taken in the meadows near a small lake. My friend and I were exploring graffiti tunnels and found this beautiful spot to take some photos. This image has a long shutter speed exposure so my face looks like it’s escaping from a ghost while the background stays still. The aperture is F2.4, shutter speed is 1/60, and ISO 64.

Silhouettes

Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz

For this weeks photoblog, I took a photo of my friends holding up a heart. We celebrated our friends birthday in Aptos, Santa Cruz, and we stayed a few minute walk from the beach. So we walked there for sunset and took photos with my DSLR camera. In this photo, the aperture is F5.6, shutter speed 1/10, ISO 400.

Color without color

Even though this photo is black and white, there are many different hues so you can see what is going on in this image. Color makes up so much of this image with the strong contrast of blue ocean and orange jellyfish so it is really interesting to take the color out of it. In this image, the aperture is F 1.6, shutter speed is 1/60, and ISO 500.

Friends and family

Last summer, I went to the United Kingdom not really knowing anyone at the start of the trip. Throughout the short trip, we formed a group that we would’ve least expected. In this photo we’re all showing off our matching necklaces that we bought together, while riding a ferry from Scotland to Ireland. Now that we’re back in the U.S., we all hang out when we can, with the exception of the highland cow stuffed animal named Moose. In this image, the aperture is F 2.8, and shutter speed is 1/500.

Flowers
