With aperture, I learned that you have to get a little closer to whatever you are trying to take a picture of. I also had to stand a little still for it to focus on the specific subject you are trying to take a picture of because sometimes when I was trying to take a […]
I had a pretty hard experience with the shutter speed project. The easiest part was getting a picture that freezes time because of the fact that all I had to do was turn my camera to a high shutter speed in broad daylight. It was easy to capture the color guard kids waving their flags. […]
Barely having lifted our cameras, Millers photog class found ourselves with our first assignment. The first priority on our list is shutter priority. Catching moments frozen in time, along with motion streaking across the frame. We learned to manipulate settings and navigate camera complications. For about a week I wandered campus and main street looking […]
During my time shooting pictures and overall working on the Shutter Priority assignment, I found it kind of hard to do since I was just learning how to operate a camera. It wasn’t my first time picking up a camera but it was my first time actually taking pictures and learning the new foundations that […]
This second assignment went a bit more smoothly but also significantly faster and so I don’t recall much of what happened during the picture taking process itself. I do however recall the lecture on the function of aperture and greatly appreciated the way in which that was taught. I learn best through lectures so a […]
Being my first assignment in the class I had a ton of fun experiencing the freedom of a camera and it’s controls even though it was just focused on one aspect. Since I was a little kid on a trip in Hawaii, I’ve really enjoyed the composition in photos so learning techniques revolving around motion […]
What I learned in this assignment was how to adjust my aperture to focus on a subject. With a lower f-number, I saw that it isolates the subject and makes the subject clear and the background more blurry. A challenge I had was when the f-number was too low the exposure on the picture would […]
Reflection: Something I was able to do pretty easily was adjust the ISO based on the lighting of the room or outside. I learned that for lighter settings you do a lower ISO number like 200 and for a darker setting you do a higher number like 3000. A challenge I had was that when […]
For shutter speed, I struggled most of the time with trying to adjust the lighting, what I wanted to capture, and how to capture it. At the very beginning when we were first testing it out it was hard to figure out how everyone else was getting a well-captured picture with a blurry background while […]
For my motion blur shots, I noticed the color guard performers in action. So, my group and I positioned ourselves in front of them to capture the photos. Specifically, I stood in front of the individuals twirling the flags, ensuring their movements would be beautifully blurred. To achieve this effect, I opted for a relatively […]
