This is a shot I took at our zoo trip to the Southwick Zoo in Mass. I posted this shot, because it was very abstract in the fact that it looks like the monkey is yelling. I caught this photo when he started yawning and I felt that it came out very well. One thing I would do different I'd to try to put the monkey at a differen angle to make it seem he was in a more natural habitat.

Shutter Speed: 1/100

Aperture: 5.6

This is a shot I took at the Southwick Zxo in Mass. I liked this photo because it shows the intense details in the monkeys feet. I feel as if it also tells a story of how he is stuck. If I could change one thing it would be to get get the whole monkey in the shot.

Shutter Speed: 1/320

Telephoto Lens

This is a shot I took at the Southeick Zoo with a telephoto lens. I zoomed in very close to the rhinos face to get the intense details of the wrinkles in its face. When I brought the picture into photoshop I noticed the cuts and blood on its face which gave the photo more character.  If I could change one thing about this shot, it would be to put more of the rhinos face into the shot.

Shutter Speed: 1/2000

Aperture: 4.5

This is my Panorama from the Southwick Zoo. I took tho photo where I was cause it was one of the most "Nature" looking shot I could get with the cages everywhere. I wish it was a little nicer out that day do the photo had some more color

Journal Twelve

ISO: 1400

Shutter Speed: 1/4000

Aperture: 5.6

This shot I took at the Soutwock Zoo, to capture reflection. I like this shot because the reflection in the photo is very minimal, but the color is very intense. I wish I could have zoomed in a little farther into the bird, and foot a fuller frame of it

View From My Planet

ISO: 100

Shutter Speed: 1/80

Aperture: 8.0

This is a shot I took in Guilford, Vermont  to use as a view from my planet. I used hue and saturation layers to change the colors of the grass, trees, and sky. I masked out the road so it look a little more natural. And added stars and two moons to go along with my planet. 

Planet #1

ISO: 100

Shutter Speed: 1/80

Aperture: 8.0

This is my planet that I created. I took a panorama and used photoshop to make the photo into a round image. I used hue and saturation a levels to change the colors of my planet. 

Transformation

ISO: 400

Shutter Speed: 1/60

Aperture: 9.0

This is my transformation of my friend Austin. I took his photo and then used my photoshop skills to make him into a fish. I used a lot of blendin modes and picture iverlays to make it seem as if he had scales. I used hue and saturation shifting to make his skin green and  added spots flip his skin to make it all blend much better. If I could change one thing it would be the pose he is in. 

Journal Eleven

ISO: 100

Shutter Speed: 1/60

Aperture: 5.6

This is a shot I did in the studio of Kira, I like this photo because it is very sassy. Her hair looks very curly and full, but I wish the lighting on her face was a little brighter.

Magazine Cover

ISO: 100

Shutter Speed: 1/80

Aperture: 9.0

This is my photo for my magazine cover. I chose to do Vogue magazine, because I wanted to do something popular and fashion based. Katie was a very easy model, because she was very relaxed, and helpful in moving around for the shoot. I used 3-Key lighting to properly light her whole face, and to create a rich black background. I liked this project a lot, because there was a lot of freedom of what we could create in our photos. The most difficult part about this project was making sure I had enough of Katie in the shot to fit the cover.

Journal Ten

ISO: 100

Shutter Speed: 1/60

Aperture: 5.6

This is a shot that I took in the Studio using two key lighting. One light is on the left side of her face, and the other is on the background. I brought the picture into Photoshop and did a Tritone. This photo shows a lot of emotion and has some really hard defining shadows.

Journal Nine

Missed Opportunity

The other night, I was driving home, and looked up and saw the full moon surrounded by a few stars. I was going to go home and get out my camera and take some nice shots of it, but because I live in a valley, I couldn't see the moon from my house.

Next time I will make sure to get the time to be able to drive to a better spot to get a good photo.

Journal Eight

ISO: 400

Shutter Speed: 1/80

Aperture: 5.6

This is a version of my human form shot that I took on a DSLR before my film shoot. I liked this photo because there are a lot of hard shadows on my models body, and the curve writing is very faint and beautiful. One thing I would change about this shot, would be the hair that you can see at the top of the photo. 

Journal Seven

ISO: 200

Shutter Speed: 1/80

Aperture: 5.6

This shot was taken in the studio with two key lighting. I used a DSLR camera and studio lighting. I liked this photo because it is a fun candid shot of her laughing.  I brought the shot into bridge and made it black and white, and added in the color of her bright red scarf and her blue eyes.

For this project our teacher taught us the importance of studio lighting. The above shots are three separate levels of lighting. The first with one light, the second with two lights, and the third has three. We faced them on and off of our models to create hard shadows, and beauty lighting. Working in the studio for me was fairly easy, because  I don't mind bossing around my models, and trying different things to get different results. One thing that was difficult for me was that the equipment was not working as well as it should, so some of my shots have no flash lighting. 

Human Form

ISO: 400

I took these shots using a film camera and a tripod. The finished image is two film negatives layered on top of each other in the enlarger. I did this to create a much different aspect of my photos. To create the shots in the first place I used my model in a dark room with a projector showing the black cursive lettering onto her skin. One thing I would change about this shot is I could've made it so you could read the words on her body.

Journal Six

This journal is a missed opportunity. The other night the stars outside were very bright, and everywhere. I wanted to do some star trails, so I went inside to grab my camera and tripod, but my cameras battery was dead. Because of this, by the time it was charge enough to do a good shoot, the sky was too dark to get any good shots. 

Journal Five

ISO: 125

Shutter Speed: 1/20

Aperture: 2.4

I took this photo over the summer on the railroad tracks in Brattleboro. I used a tripod, and my Nikon D3100. I like this photo because the tracks lead your eye down the photo. I use this shot as a missed opportunity, because I think that if I had timed it better I could've gotten the sunset at a better angle.

Journal Four

ISO: 12800

Shutter Speed: 1/1250

Aperture: 8.0

I took this photo the other night, when I was lighting matches to get the strike. Because this didn't work, my brother laid the matches on my windowsill. He thought it looked cool, so I lit one more match and laid them on top of each other. I used my D 3100 to take this photo. I liked the simplicity of the photo with the background being black.

Black & White with Color

ISO: 800

Shutter Speed: 1/200

Aperture: 5.6

This is the first photo I took for my Black and White with color. I used the adjustment brush in RAW to make the candle black and white, and to add the color to the side, and the the flame on the candle and reflection. I used my window at night, to get the reflection of the flame. 

 

ISO: 320

Shutter Speed: 1/250

Aperture: 9.0

I took this photo over last summer. I like this shot, because I got a side profile of the turtle. I used layers in Photoshop to make the background black and white, and the give the turtle color. I put the green of the grass back into the photo, because it created depth to the shot.

ISO: 800

Shutter Speed: 13.0

Aperture: 7.1

This is a photo I took during my Photography One class for a light painting project. I used the saturation sliders in RAW to make only the oranges stand out. I liked this photo, because the orange in it is very vibrant, and really makes the gazebo stand out.

Digital Black & White

ISO: 3600

Shutter Speed: 1/20

Aperture: 4.2

This is a photo is my cat Cosmo. I made this image a Black and White in RAW. I liked this photo in black and white, because it makes it look more dramatic. I like the side profile of the cat, and it shows the simplified detail of his fur.

ISO: 1600

Shutter Speed: 1/60

Aperture: 4.5

This is a photo is the BUHS banners in the high school. I took this photo in my photography one class. I decided to make it a Black and White in RAW because I liked how it makes the photo look very deep, and simplified even though the background pattern is bricks.

ISO: 400

Shutter Speed: 1/1250

Aperture: 7.1

This is a landscape photo I took in Guilford, VT. I made this photo Black and White in RAW to show the detail of the woods and trees in the background. I like this photo because it has a lot of crisp lines in the shot. If I could change something about this photo it would be to bring more of the scene into the shot, by backing up, or taking the photo from a different vantage point. 

Split Toning & Duotoning

ISO: 400

Shutter Speed: 1/125

Aperture: 4.0

 This is one of my Split Toning photos. I took this photo during my Photo One class. I used a Film Camera. I was in the woods, in the shade, and had Austin be my model. I like this photo, because it has a very nice leading line, and the background is very pretty. If I could change something about this shot it would be to maybe get his whole body in the photo, or too look at some different vantage points.

ISO: 50

Shutter Speed: 1/180

Aperture: 2.4

 This is my other Split Toning Photo. This is a photo I took in the summer of a flower in New Jersey. I was walked in Six Flags and thought it was really pretty, so I shaped a quick photo of it. I used my D 3100. I liked this photo, because it is very simple, and pretty. If I could change something about it, it would be the wall on the far left. Something else I could do next time, is take it from a different angle.

ISO: 3600

Shutter Speed: 1/20

Aperture: 4.2

 This is one of my Duotones. It is a photo of my cat Cosmo. I used my D 3100, and a tripod. He was posing very still, so I captured his side profile. I liked this shot, because he is very fluffy, and has gorgeous colors in his fur. If I could change something about this photo it would be the busy background.

ISO: 400

Shutter Speed: 1/125

Aperture: 7.1

This is my other Duotone Photo. I took this shot during my Photo One class. I used a film camera. I like this shot, because it is very simple. When I printed this photo I brought it into photoshop and removed the power lines.

Color Wheel

ISO: 360

Shutter Speed: 1/160

Aperture: 3.8

This is my Color Wheel. I decided to do this for my project, because I knew it was not original. I used colored paint, and mixed it with water. To get the tilt effect I put the glasses on a tilted surface. I used my D 3100 and a tripod, with my flash on. To get the desired six glasses all in one photo I had to take over 50 shots, I took the best two (with three glasses in each) and merged them together. The hardest part about this project was making sure the levels of the water were gradually going up. If I could change one thing, it would be the spacing between the yellow and green glasses.

Journal Three

This is a picture of a tortoise that I took in New Jersey. I had my camera on an auto mode because I wanted to make sure the photo came out as clear as possible because I was on a moving vehicle. In the photo the tortoise was being sprayed by a water hose, and I though it was a cool moment because he was trying to hide his face from the water. If I could do something different about this shot it would be to include the whole animal in the photo. 

Snow

ISO: 100

Aperture: F 6.3

Shutter Speed: 1/100

This project was for the Winter Wonderland photo. I used my Nikon D 3100, and a tripod. This is the river bellow my house, after it had snowed. When I uploaded this photo to the computer, I didn't have to do many edits, the main thing I did was crop the photo down to bring the main focus onto the subject of winter. I enjoyed taking this photo, because the lighting was very calm, and easy to work with. It was nice that I didn't have to edit the photo very much to get the desired picture.

ISO: 640

Aperture: F 8.0

Shutter Speed: 1/1600

This is my White Balance collage. I used my Nikon D 3100,  and a tripod. This was just some snow that had been shoveled to the side of the road, and I thought it had a lot of good texture. If I could change something about my shot it would be the focus of the whole shot. I didn't enjoy taking this shot, because I was at a horrible angle.

ISO: 360

Aperture: F 4.5

Shutter Speed: 10.0

This photo is my Light Painting shot. I used my Nikon D 3100, a tripod, and a color flashlight app on my iPhone. I used a timer of 10 seconds, and a long shutter speed of 10 seconds as well, to make sure  I caught the color. I took this shot on a construction road at about 9 PM in the 11 degree weather. When I brought it into Photoshop I darkened the background, to make the color the main point of the photo.  If I could change something about this shot, it would be the range of the road that you can see, by adjusting the camera. I enjoyed doing this shot, because I love doing light painting.

Journal Two

ISO: 3600

Aperture: F 4.2

Shutter Speed: 1/20

This is a photo of my cat Cosmo. I took this photo because he was posing for me. I love the color, and side profile that I captured. I was using my D3100, and a tripod. If I could change one thing about the photo it would be the background to make it less distracting. I could have also captured his whole body.

Journal One

This photo is based on one of my best shots.
I do not have the camera settings, because I was using my phone

I took this photo when I was playing poker with my family.

I use my Iphone 4s, and had the flash on. 

I edited the photo to create the darker background, and brighter colors.

Something I would change about this photo is the surface it is sitting on.

I would have preferred to have a black surface underneath.
