Shooting outside





































































In the first picture i see a label for black and white film on the grass. It's square and it's fading. Probably from rain and people stepping on it. There's also a shadow on it and sun on the right side of the picture.

In the second picture, the first thing i see is the sun shining. The camera is looking up at a tree and the sun is sort of consuming the tree with its rays of sunlight. I can also see braches with green leafs. It's a very beautiful picture.

In the third picture i see semi-dry mud. I see a large green leaf on the ground next to some footprints. There is a straw sticking out of the ground and the angle of the camera makes the straw touch the leaf.

In the fourth picture i see a shiny bright blue gum wrapper on the ground next to a pattern on the ground which is a lid for a hole on the ground. The camera seems as if its on the ground. I can also see some bushes on the background that are far away. Also some shadows made by trees.

In the fifth picture i see gum stuck on the wall and something is stuck on it. I see a pretzel stuck on it. It's hanging at the end of it. The camera is looking up at it from below. There is also a pole next to the wall.

In the sixth picture i see a shopping cart inside some kind of room. The camera is looking at the shopping cart through a fence because you can see the fence very close up.

I really liked this project. We got to go outside. The concept of this was to notice things and to find something interesting to shoot. I noticed things I've never noticed before and if something wasn't interesting, i somehow made it interesting. My favorite pictures were the one with the gum wrapper and the shopping cart one. I really liked the angles. This project was interesting.

Strobe











































In the first picture, i see Christian playing the violin thing. It looks like he is happy to be playing because he is smiling. I see his shadow on the wall behind him and i see some kind umbrella shade at the top of the frame. I can also see part of a tree and the sky in the top right corner.

In the second picture i see a girl that seems to be in some kind of dance position. It looks like she just ended a dance. She has her hand in the air and it looks like she on her tippy toes. In the background i see some stair and the grand theater.

In the third picture i see my friend Tati and she's sitting a table drawing. I see her shadow behind her on the wall and she has a bandanna on. She has necklaces she's wearing a jacket with square designs on it.

I really liked these pictures because they tie in to one subject. It's what our school is about. Art, dance and music. I really liked using strobe. I loved the look of it and i liked how i could use it in many different ways to make the photo look different. This was technically my first real photoshoot because i used equipment for the first time and i shot with only one subject in mind.
