San Francisco

Photo Titles in order: Flight, Solo, Free, Rainbow, Climb, Cross Section, Surrounded, Walker, Finish, Doing my Job, Photography, Monolith, Focus, Twirl, and German Toads & Frogs.

These photos were taken in San Francisco, I tried to capture a lot of different perspectives that you can focus on in the city. I liked to focus on the grandeur of the skyscrapers and their contrast with other features and characteristics of the city. Also, the reason I choose the photo of that shirt for my chosen title “German toads and Frogs”, was because there was a large influx of germans in Puerto Rico in the 19th century and early 20th century and there is a native frog on the shirt.

Explanation: One of the parts of the presentation was that modern art could be just about anything (thinking back to the upside down toilet) and it focused a lot on how one interpreted the image. With these 2 image the same concept is in mind. The first image is a cone. But I took it and made it art, and forced people to think about the meaning. The same goes with the second photo.

 

REFLECT:

What did you learn about the camera?

I learned a lot about the camera. I am now successfully able to adjust most/all of the setting and use them to my advantage

What did you learn about your own image making skills?

I learned I prefer close ups and landscape. I also learned that I have a long way to go before my photos are anywhere near perfect.
What were your most and least successful attempts to capture images?

My least successful attempt was when I tried to take picture of a squirrel but I was on the wrong setting so when it ran away I was left with a blurry mess. The most successful attempt to capture an image was in science, (I didn’t put the photo in here though because it didn’t really match the criteria). We were burning certain solutions and it produced a vivid green colourful flame that I managed to capture on camera.
What other applications can you image for long and short exposures, wide and narrow depth of field?

For short and long exposures, application would depend on the type of photo you wanted, and the setting you were in, but one example I can think of is for different light levels. For different depths, I think that with wide depth landscapes would be nice and for shallow depth, close ups would be good.
