Homework #6: One Color

Here are my pictures and contact sheet for the one color homework. We had to go out and choose one of the primary colors, I obviously chose red, and see what we could find to photograph. I am a little late getting these up, but between 2 exams, a lab report and an away game in Rhode Island over the past two days I was lucky enough to find time to even shoot...so I'm not too happy with my shots, I literally had about 40 mins to shoot before our bus left yesterday, so this is what I found that was red within a 5 minute walk of the field house....

Homework #5: Time of Day

So our assignment was to go out and shoot at different times of day and find what something natural, residential and urban...
My natural, the sunflower, was shot at about noon
My residential, the sign, was shot at about 4 pm
My urban, the kid and bike, were shot at about 9:30 am
(These are unedited)

And here is my contact sheet for this project, I took a ridiculous number of photos so it was hard for me to pull out 36, especially cause I really like most of the pictures I took for natural and urban, and very few of my residential ones

Here is another urban picture just because since its probably the better picture with composition, color and everything else, but I love the expression on the kid's face so I'm probably going to use that one

Homework #4: White Balance

 

 

So, for this assignment we had to go out and take the same picture, once with the correct white balance setting and then one with the wrong setting. Super obvious which is which. This made me realize how important it is to actually be aware of this cause it can totally change an entire photo. It was kind of interesting because in class the other day when we were working on the 4x4 project I stumbled upon this issue while I was taking my photos. I started out with the correct balance for my photos but the shutter speed was too slow so I put my flash on and produced a blue tinted photo (1st set of photos below), which in the end is what I went with because I really liked the effect that it had and the mood it set. Kind of ironic that our next assignment was to do the same thing on purpose...
