Assignment 2

I would love to just take a couple weekends off and go to horse shows to shoot rolls of film.  I would use a large aperture to geth a shallow depth of field.  With a shallow depth of field I would take pictures of the horses head, the bridle, a close up of the riders leg and saddle, the stirrup iron, and maybe just the horse's nose.  I would also use a very fast shutter speed to take many pictures of the horses jumping.  I would have to use a very fast shutter speed to get a nice sharp photo.

DVD Assignment 2

I think Jim limited himself to only one photograph a day to give himself a challenge. This kind of set the bar high, and he knew he had to get the perfect shot the first time on each day.  There was no second shot, until the next day.  Each day, he would have to find one idea for a picture and wait.  He needed to wait for the perfect shot. Having multiple shots each day could result in many pictures that were random and not all interesting.

DVD Assignment 1

I enjoyed Jim's image of the frozen flower.  He had a short depth of field, so my eye went straight to the flower.  This picture had great detail.  What I noticed most was the frost on the flower. I could see every strand of frost frozen on the pedals. The whites of the flower were also very bright.

Assignment 5

I enjoy looking at this picture because of the wave of water from the skis.  The sun is setting in the background, which is giving off an orange tint, which is so pretty! I like the angle of the skiier, and how close he is to the water below him. In the wave, you can also see the reflection of the sun, which is neat.

Assignment 4

My house is with the two black jeeps in the driveway, with lots of bushes behind them. There is a big gold truck parked in the street, and that is Remington's truck. Almost everyday his truck is parked there.  There is a frowning face next to my neighbors house because we don't really care too much for her.  She gets mad at Remington when he parks on the street, because she says it is too hard for her to pull into her driveway.  There is always one kid skateboarding in the middle of the road when I am trying to drive down it.

Assignment 11

I think that this building is very pretty, but to look at the picture, it is kind of boring. I could have gotten closer to the colomns. The window in the upper left corner can be distracting, and could be taken out. The bushes could also be taken out because they can also take away from the colomns.

Assignment 10

I chose this picture of lines because I love fields in general.  The photograph gives a dark mood because of the dark grass and the low dark clouds.  I love the lines pattern in the grass, as if it had just been mowed.

I chose this picture of the gate because I like photographs of old rustic gates. I like how the gate has 4 rows of lines, and the tree, the fence, and the grass are all part of the back ground behind the gate.  The more I look at it, it is like I am peeking through the gate to look to the other side.

I like this picture of the sky because the light pinks and the bright orange go great together, and it is a nice sunset.  The silouette of the power line is great because it is so dark in front of the sky, and this makes it stand out.

I enjoy looking at this picture because I feel as if I am driving or walking down a driveway leading to a barn or some farm land. The fence adds great detail to the driveway and it leads your eyes down, and then they curve to the right.

 

The picture of the bench is neat to look at because of the repetitive lines throughout the picture. The yellow subject adds to the lines because it is one single subject on many lines.  This makes the picture not so bland.

Assignment 9

I like my photograph of long depth of field.  I like how the camera was tilted to create diagonal lines.  I like the curves on the back of the bench also.  If I could improve this picture, I would move to the right a little bit to get more of the railing in the picture.
