For this image I was instructed to have a viewpoint. I took this pretty literally and captured this moment looking at a view from the east San Jose Mountains overlooking the city lights with a cloudy night sky. I wanted to capture both the moment and the view because the moment with this person was […]
Blog Post #43: Film Nior
For this photo, I chose to play with harsher lights on her face so that when I put it into black and white, she appeared to be floating and you could only make out certain details of her face. The original photo had red lighting that was aesthetically pleasing but this photo with the black […]
Blog Post #42: Work
f/1.8, ISO 100, 1/3,846 For this image we were supposed to interpret the word work. The first thing that I thought about was what work really meant to me. The way I look at work is something that is difficult, takes time, and energy but ultimately has a positive resolution. This either can be monetary […]
Photo Blog #41: Color Theory
f/1.8, ISO 100, 1/91 For this image we were supposed to learn about color theory. What I found most interesting were about landscapes with colors that are opposite on the color wheel. I learned that blue and orange and purple and yellow are complementary colors. The sky in this landscape holds both blue and purple. […]
Blog post #40- New Year Light
f/1.8, ISO100, 1/309 For this image we were instructed to have a long exposure photograph. Here I felt that the bright colors and light funneling through the tunnel and the movement of the subject made for a really interesting image. I believe I could’ve improved on this specific assignment by getting into a dark space […]
Blog Post #37:Seasons
ISO 32, f1.8, 1/940 The way that I view seasons is similar to a sunset. Sunsets are beautiful and go from one setting to another. Seasons similarly change beautifully from a warm and sunny time to a cooler time filled with rain and colorful leaves. Both sides are beautiful and the transition in between is […]
Blog Post #39:The Elements
1000 ISO, f1.8, 1/100 For the image representing an element, I chose to photograph fire. I really love the warm colors within a flame, how dangerous it can be but also how resourceful it can be. I used a lighter and tried to capture the flame in a cool way by playing around with the […]
Blog Post #38:Rule of Odds
1000 ISO, f1.8, 1/80 For the image rule of odds, I learned that it was photographing subjects that are in groups of 3,5,7, and so on. I have a corsage that has a set of 3 white roses. This is meaningful to me because it is the first corsage I have been given in a […]
Blog Post #36: Gratitude
ISO 1600, f1.8, 1/160 For this image, we were supposed to represent something we are grateful for in an image. I wanted to represent how grateful I am for the time I have been given. Early this year I almost lost this time due to mental health issues. Now, on the other side of that […]
Blog Post #35:Rule of Thirds Emotion
ISO 800, f1.8, 1/100 For this image, I decided to photograph my hand. I thought that it would be really straightforward to show an emotional face on the third. Instead, I wanted to focus on the smaller details that can occur in conjunction with an emotion. The emotion I wanted to present was anxiety. Often […]
