Chinatown

On October 5, we went to Chinatown to take street photography. There were so many different things to see and to take pictures that it was hard to be able to focus. There were so mach interesting architecture and it was a really cool way to see the city. It was also very convenient the way the sun hit all the buildings and it was still coming out so it gave the pictures a fresh feel.

Depth

       In this assignment, we learned to look for space in the front and in the back of the image. Using leading lines, foreground and background, and repetition, we were able to create this space in the image. In these photos, there is more for the viewer to look at making the photo more interesting. Showing depth in a photo can make their be more space in the photo making your eye move from the front to the back of the photo.

City Scapes

          While exploring the streets of San Francisco, I was able to look at things that I see everyday in a different way. When you see a window, you think 'Oh, a window' or you don't think anything at all. In this assignment, I was able to look at the window, and think 'Wow, that window is a really interesting shaped square, and it would look really cool if there were two or three of those squares in the picture.' This assignment was really able to have us look at the different shapes, angles, and size of everyday things.

Motion

In the first three pictures I pointed the camera at a single object and then shook the camera while holding down the shutter button creating a blurred affect and capturing a freeze frame of a person in motion. The second set of images were taking by portraying the motion of light. By slowing down the shutter speed and speeding up the light, the camera is able to capture the brightness in a dark room. There are multiple patterns and designs the light can make and its a matter of self expression. Both sets of images display different ways of capturing motion.
