Senior pep rally

First off, I had no idea what to do with the gym lights off and all these people wanting to be all centimental and i had to use a flash and crying people and I was the chosen one to be sitting right in front with my flash. I thought the picture was cute, and Sabrina is in it so it obviously is even more cute. She and her friend are in focus, but I don't really like anything else about the picture. It bothers me that the subject isn't in front, and that the guy on the right's arms and legs are in the picture but not his face, and that Sabrina and Canah aren't different from the crowd at all so they don't stand out. It's not terrible, but it's not good,

Drill Team Prayer

I really like this picture. Juniors were assigned to take pictures of drill team's prayer for a spread, and i had the 10-24 for this game, so i thought I'd take advantage of that while everyone else was getting more close up shots. I basically just held my camera up in the air and blind shot. The image is a little underexposed which irritates me because i know how to expose an image properly. If i could re-take it, id try to get the girls closer to me's whole legs into the shot so I'm not wasting the top of the image like  I did. I doubt It'll actually get used on a spread, but i still like the picture or the most part. I think it's really sweet and prayer circle like.

HSTE CPR

HSTE has their own spread this year, so Alyssa and I were assigned to go shoot them practicing CPR during our yearbook period. The teacher was so sweet, but everything about this assignment was awkward. Two awkward people come in to a classroom full of people who are pretending to give CPR to the torso of fake person (minus the arms). It was just weird. At least the baby had arms. Anyway, i got some good pictures, and this room wasn't hard to shoot in. Just like any other classroom in the school. 

Egg drop

This whole picture bothers me. Everything about it is boring. The egg drop was nice to get to shoot or whatever, but the place Mr. Harris does it is not ideal for photos, especially because of the building-sized window in the background. This girl's expression is good, I think. It's one of the few expression pictures I got on this assignment. ALSO, I DON'T KNOW WHICH LINE TO MAKE MY PICTURES FROM THIS ASSIGNMENT PARALLEL TO BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY AND EVERY SINGLE LINE TURNS MY PICTURE A DIFFERENT WAY AND IT NEVER LOOKS STRAIGHT. And, yes, that was a run on that i should't be capable of creating in the 11th grade but it was necessary.  Well, i don't really have a lot to say about this one. I honestly have no idea how i'd do it different, especially if i had to shoot it with the window and the lines ugh i just hated it.

CLUDS

I shot this picture to go behind the dominant picture on the spraue spread. It wasn't hard at all, but at first i shot with a 50mm lens and Smith told me to go reshoot it with a 17-50mm. 

bonfire

 This picture is a silhouette, kind of. My bonfire pictures were terrible. This is pretty much the only one i like, and it isn't even that good. I have no idea what was going on with my focus settings, but I couldn't get anything to focus. I should've just asked but for some reason I didn't think to do that. Somehow, Pot likes this picture as the dominant for the bonfire, which i'm assigned to (YB editor and photog).
