Photo Challenge

1. Reflection:
This is supposed to be a reflection of a sunset. I would've liked to re-take this picture with a cleaner guitar, but i didn't have the time. 

2. Stack of Books:
This was a stack of books in an upstairs room at my dad's restaurant. It was hard to take because there's no electricity upstairs, so my camera couldn't focus on a the subject. I really liked having the advantage of this room because everyone else took pictures of books at their house or something but I had this awesome room full of books and toilets to work with. 

3. Undergarment:
Yes, this is a dog in underwear. Her name is Betty, and she was not harmed in the making of this photo.

4. Repose:
Do I really need to say anything about this picture? It's perfect.

5. Bauble:
Hippos are cool. These are actually super precious because they're my friend's parent's, who got them from one of their parent's hippo collection after they passed away. This picture wasn't difficult to take, but I'm not sure if I like that only the front hippos are in focus.

6. Mode of transport:
This is a bike that's hanging from the ceiling at my dad's restaurant. I set my camera to bulb, and I zoomed in and out while i held the shutter open. I still don't really know if i like this picture or not.

7.Spooky:
Once again, this was in the upstairs part of my dad's restaurant. Paige came to Hope one Saturday and braved her way down this scary hallway for me. She ended up wanting my brother to go down with her, but I think it added to the picture.

8. Liquid:
This is another one that Paige helped me with. It's just food coloring, baking soda, and vinegar. She poured while I took the picture. I really think it's cool that there's motion blur but everything is still in focus.

9. Meal:
This is from Thanksgiving. It's obviously not my plate, because we all know I'd  have a mental breakdown if i was forced to eat something like this. It's not that interesting, but my cousin did rip his ham in half and stick it in his potatoes and stuffing before I could take the picture so there's that.

ISO 200

This is a car at my dad's restaurant that I just kinda snapped a picture of. I wasn't really thinking when I took it it I might would've tried to take a nicer picture. It really bothers me that there's half of a blurry car in the background. I still think the car is pretty cool though!

Dad's truck

f/5.0

1/160

ISO 100

This wasn't a picture I intended on taking, but I saw it in my dad's yard and thought it was a possibility for my mode of transport picture for my photo challenge. I obviously didn't use it because it sucks but I think it could be cool if I re took it with a 70-200 or the bigma to get a creamy background. I had a 28-123 when I took this so it's not as awesome as it could be. I'll try to re take it to see what I can do when I get a chance. 

Volkswagen

f/6.3

1/15

ISO 1250

This is cool I guess. Paige wanted to take a picture of my dad's old Volkswagen for her photo challenge so we set this up and I just took some for fun. We had a tripod and I set my camera to bulb and went with it. On this particular picture my camera wasn't on bulb but I brought my shutter speed down so that'd it'd still get the same effect. I had a lot of fun playing around with this. 

Painting with light

f/3.5

8.0

ISO 100

This is ANOTHER picture that Paige and I took while we were playing around with photo challenge stuff. We had fun that weekend, obviously. Well, I'm not exactly sure who took this picture but it was on my card so I'm claiming it. My dad found some rope lights and he just swung it around while my camera was set on bulb and I think it turned out cool. I really liked painting with light. 

Ghost Paige

f/3.5

5.0

ISO 100

This is another picture that Paige and I took when we were experimenting for our photo challenge stuff. I wanted to try to do this, but I'm not sure what it's called. I just set my camera to bulb, held the shutter open, and covered up the lens when Paige needed to change spots around the room. It didn't take very many tries, and I am happy with the result. I think the actual picture isn't spooky at all because Paige doesn't look scary. If she was dressed up and the room was darker it could be an awesome setup. 

Sound Booth

f/2.8

1/50

ISO 2000

This was a last minute photo for yearbook. There wasn't an assignment made. Pot just told me to grab gear and go take it so I did. It was weird because I had to go get josh from tigervision and everyone in there judged me because I'm awkward but I don't care. I don't really love this picture, and I had to set my ISO to 2000 because I didn't bring a flash. I don't think it looks muddy or anything, but I'm lucky that it's a small picture in the book. 

Trebuchet competitions

f/4.5

1/1250

ISO 400

I shot trebuchet competitions during my class period. It wasn't very fun because I couldn't get very close to the trebuchet (schirms rules) and everyone in my class' trebuchets sucked. I don't really like any of my pictures from this assignment, but it'll be okay. If I could reshoot this id like to just disregard the rules and get all up in the trebuchet groups buisness with a 10-24.
