Another ATPI picture from my Rebel.

I just really liked the depth of field on it. I actually took this picture multiple times before I got what I had in my head. I still feel like something's wrong with it, but I'm pretty satisfied.

Sorting Out My Crap

I entered this picture in ATPI this week. It's one I actually took with my Rebel this summer. I don't have much to say about the picture but Smith wants us to reflect on how easy or how difficult it's been up till now. The photography class hasn't been difficult really, it's just been my schedule. I've been pretty disappointed in myself as far as my pictures go. Junior year is kickin my butt and my images are paying the price. I feel like I've been working hard but haven't been able to put my all into it. I was really really disappointed in some of my ATPI pics. First of all, I only did the minimum. Nine pictures. That's all. Second of all, I was truly 100% happy with only a few of them. I thought the others were "alright" pictures but they weren't the best I could do. I'm trying to sort out a lot of my crap so that I can finally start putting way more into photography.

I was working on my shallow depth of field for this picture. I ended up getting a reallllly good one that I reallllly liked and then it was super under exposed and I couldn't save it. I think I mostly learned that you shouldn't be skimpy when you're trying something new. Take as many shots as you possible can.

Homecoming

I'm not really putting this picture up because it's an amazing picture or anything. I'm putting it up because it was one of the only good ones I got from Saturday night. I had to shoot the Homecoming dance this past Saturday. It's pretty difficult just because everyone's moving and there're a bunch of different lights. I basically failed at that. I wasn't sure what to do to get good shots and ended up having to ask for help on my settings. It wasn't a good night for me but I learned from failing (even though it's the most annoying thing ever).

Alex and I have been planning on doing some shots like this for a looong time. It helped me figure out where and how to focus posed shots because I was having some difficulty with that earlier. It was mostly just a for fun shot.

Graduation

For an assignment, I had to get a picture of someone in a graduation cap and gown against a blue sky. I was super proud of the pictures I got!

The Beautiful Hannah Patterson

Smith was teaching us about portraits and angles and everything and then sent us out with a partner to work on it. I took a couple of decent ones and really liked the way they turned out.
