So, here are the 5 photos that I did. I tried to get the background more blurred in these, but my camera wasn't cooperating, and we were racing time. I'm pretty sure that my favorite ones are the two with the red brick behind him. Funny story... The picture against the red brick where his head is turned, I actually didn't plan that at all. He happened to look away right before I clicked the button and it turned out really good, I thought, so I kept it.

Framing, Lines, Pattern and Texture

Alright, here are my photos for these concepts:

This one with the brick is an example of pattern. It shows pattern with the pattern that the bricks are put in.

This is an example of line. The lines in the bricks of the building going up lead your eye to the lamp that it up there.

This one is framing. I was on the other side of a tree and used that to sort of frame this little building.

This one is texture. The wall that this was a part of was really cool, I thought, because it had a ton of texture like this and it was really interesting.

This is a pattern photo. The windows and also the rain drains make a pattern on the wall.

This is a line photo. The lines of bricks and also the line that the handrail makes lead your eye up to the door.

This is my other framing photo. I used trees again to frame the back of the library in Spanish Fork. It was hard to find things to frame and frames to do it with.

This last one is also texture. I liked this one because the line of brick was mostly all the same and everything, but then there was this one brick right here that was broken and different from the others. pretty cool.

Still Life Photos

So, here is my first still life. I took some others before this one but I liked this one the best. I have a few others down below these. For these still life pictures, the only light in the room was coming from the lighter. I wanted it to be really dark around the fire light, so I put my camera to the darkest setting. I also used macro settings for this.

Again, for this one I had it on a candle setting and very dark, plus the macro. I wish I had a mirror somewhere that didn't have a frame around it so I could get the reflection without a big thing right in the middle. I like this one though.

When I took this one, I though I would try adding another light in there just for fun. I think it turned out to be a pretty good still life. I had the same settings as all of the other photos. The one thing I didn't like about this one is that I couldn't ever get the candle light to not be blurry.

For this one, I tried the same sort of set up as the first picture, but this time from a different angle. I still had the same settings on this picture as the others. I like how there is a double point on the top of the flame.

I am pretty sure that this one is my favorite out of all the ones I took. It still has all the same settings but I tried to take it from down closer to the ground looking up at the lighter. I like how there is almost a glare where there is that circle of light in the middle. Sort of like when the camera looks at the sun in a movie and there are those circles of light that line up. I thought that was pretty cool. I also like the angle of this one and how crisp it is.

These last three are just some pictures that I took while I was doing the still life stuff. The server for moodle actually went down before I could see what the assignment actually was so I just started taking some still life stuff. When it came back up I saw that it had to be of all the same subject so I chose to use the lighter. I'm not sure if the dirt bike counts as a still life, but I liked that picture so I uploaded it. =D Enjoy!
