Blur

I liked this project. I had some technical difficulties, so I had to scramble to take a whole roll of pictures in time, (which I managed to do in about an hour, thank you very much), but my mom was a willing subject.
Here's my mom lifting up a delicata squash. We grew these in our garden this year; but they weren't a big hit, so we still have some. This is an example of panning, because the squash is relatively still but the background is blurry.

This is my mom tapping her foot. Self-explanatory, I think.

I love this picture. It's my mom (of course) putting away a can of chili, but what I love it how you can read the words on the can. I find it humorous, especially because no one in our house likes chili.

My mom was making dinner when I took all these pictures, so it makes sense that this one is of her peeling carrots. I tried to pan it, but it didn't turn out perfectly.

Here's one of my attempts at panning. It's just my mom walking. She's in so many of my pictures, I should give her an award.

Can you guess who's hand this is? This is an example of normal blurring because the plate in the background is completely still, but her hand and the sponge are blurry.

This is my kitchen sink. It sort of fits as a blur photo, but Hohman said it would have worked better if the water was more spread out, like in a waterfall or a pond.

Multiple Exposure

Sorry Mr. Hohman, but I really did not like this project. We were supposed to set our camera's ISO to 800, and then we could essentially take 48 pictures instead of our normal 24 by rewinding the film at the end of the first 24, and then taking another set of pictures over them. I set my camera's ISO to 800, but for some reason the second pictures didn't come out on all of them. They came out faintly on some of the images, but not all. Grrr...

Alright, this is my mom. What was supposed to happen was that the left side of her face would be smiling, and the right side be frowning, (like that drama face). As you can see, that didn't work out so well.

In this one, there was supposed to be an up-close and blurry shot of the slinky, while the one in the back remained smaller and in focus. It sort of worked out, but not really.

These are my shoes, and the second picture was supposed to be my socks in the same place as the empty shoes. My socks were striped, and you can almost see them here.

Portraits

This project was alright. After I finished it, I felt like I could've taken much better pictures, but oh well. I'll try it again some day.
These are my two little friends, Alex and Kenzie. I know, it's dark. When I took this, I didn't realize that the lamp in the background would cast that much of a shadow.
This is my stepdad, Dave. I thought his face was perfect for this project because it it so square, and it looks like it has a story. When I printed this one, it came out crooked, so it was difficult to scan.
Dave again; just a front shot. I told him to give me as little expression as possible.
This one's my mom doing her "exasperated" face. She always does this whenever she's talking about someone or something that annoys her. I like it.

Self-Portrait

I'd give this project a 7/10 on a scale of funness. The 24 Things project is still my favorite.

Student+History Book=Death by Boredom (almost)

I don't understand make-up.


I was mad at...something. I like the symmetry in this one; how there are two white doors on either side of me, and me all dark in the middle.


I meant to have the background be blurry and the foreground clear, but it didn't work. Oh well.

Light

Just a heads-up: I didn't like this project. My camera doesn't have a light meter, so a lot of my shots were either over- or under-exposed. >:O


This is one of my silhouettes. It's Wolfie, see? ...Ok, maybe he's not so clear.


I like this one sort of more than the first one. It kind of works; the lamp is in focus while the background is blurry. This was an example of diffused light.

24 Things

This project has been my absolute favorite so far.


This one is a picture of a gated "community" near my house (it only has three houses), for 'Closed'. It could be darker and it's a little off-center, but I'm just glad that the picture itself is fine. Now if I want, I can go back and reprint it so that it looks scarier and fits the paper correctly.


This one is a picture of my friends getting ready for Homecoming. I chose it to show 'Reflection', and I think it's pretty decent.


I had extra time in class and was playing around with Photoshop. It's okay, nothing special.


This last one is a picture of my mailbox, representing 'Familiar'. Kudos to my mom for having the idea of painting our address on it like that.

Pinholes!

This was actually my second pinhole ever; my first had a light leak.

Mysterious words in the corner and a black thing coming out of my mouth...Hmm...

I loved this project! This one was taken at the base of a tree, facing the Auditorium area.

And here's the positive. I like how you can see the grass blades.
