Photographic Imaging 1
In my Photo Class at Vista High School, We have been studying a few things. We learned about shutter speeds (slow & fast), Aperture, ISO, and now we are going to be learning about abstract. My photo teacher Mrs. Olden is really cool. I had her as my teacher freshman year when I took a Digital Art class, then my senior year I decided to take my first photography class and once again she is my teacher.
Classwork
One of the really cool things that I was doing was the fast shutter speed project. We has water balloons and popped them over people. The kids in my class volunteered to pop water balloons on them. I was really fun. I got some really great shots. I had a good time. My teacher Mrs. Olden even volunteered to Get splashed!
Next we moved on to our Aperture project. That was also really fun. We had to bring in object from home to take pictures of. I brought two small pumpkins the belonged to my mom. We learning about the F stop. We had to take three different picture with three different apertures (f stops). I shot in F/5.6, F/6.3, F/16. The project all together was “Photographic Techniques”. It included aperture, fast/slow shutter speed, and ISO.
The slow shutter speed was new. I learned about light painting. I enjoyed it a lot and I plan on using that technique more often. This photo was a 15 second photo. A classmate of mine downloaded this app called my light paint and what you do is just wave the light around like crazy . You can spell words, draw, or do basically whatever you want! Its great.
We also learned about all kinds of composition techniques. Here is a link to my google slide that I turn in for my photo class. composition techniques.
Improvements
Something that I have been really improving on is my photo editing skills. A lot of my pictures are starting look more professional and sharp. They are coming out really clear, rather than what they used to look like when I first started my photography journey.
