well since its extra credit i might as well post the other shots i found good this last saturday. i will be going back out this saturday to continue getting better and this time im gonna look to see how i can use different angles to make my shots more powerful. anyway, here ya go.
thats 8 extra credit points and now back to Flickr to load more cause DAMN i need more points
this shot i really like because of one the clarity and two because i caught that ball breaking on his arm. i really love the sharpness that lens of mine gets and i love the almost monochromatic look to all my shots from this shoot. if i could do anything different to this shot i wish i was like a half a second earlier so i could get that bal right on his arm but im very happy how this all turned out. thank you flickr for being so sharp on the uploads im surprised i havent used it more. Use Flickr for all your uploading needs. lol
now this shot i particularly like not just the positioning of his body and gun or the fact that its just a really cool shot but the fact that its soft dirt. Tucson paintball fields were infamous for there hard hard dirt and now its beach sand what could be better. ASTROTURF!!! anyway this shot does an amazing job of showing the high intensity of this game quite like this does. i think that if i could re do this i would go for a different angle and try and get all of his body in it this time. but i am very pleased with all these shots.
This shot did me quite a bit of good because its gonna make me some money here and if its not money its gonna be paint to play with. anyway this shot was a pain in the ass to capture and im still surprised i managed to pull it off. as you can see the ball is just leaving the barrel but you can also see that the ball is very small and not that big of a motion blur, thats because it was so bright outside my camera was at 1/4000 shutter speed so it wouldnt all turn out blown and crappy. well lucky me right. this shot scored me a nice cute little job shooting for the guy in this picture (turns out to be the owner of the paintball field i shot at) so im really happy about that.
this is a favorite shot of mine i took it right after my final lacrosse game and i love the expressions and the color tones that my lens gets. i saw one of our captians little nephew walking over to his toy when i grabbed the camera from the team photographer and took the picture. i really like this pic for the puzzled look on his face. that and the fact that he was puzzled over such a small toy i found it really ironic. overall very pleased thanks MR. Hooke for handing the camera over.
this was taken at our lacrosse tournament in Winslow, AZ. we had breaks between each game and i stole the camera from our team photographer and took this while someone was crying over a good check to his ribs. first of all i like the contrast of colors the green and the orange and how they’re almost complimentary but still not. i also love the round shape atop this very confusing grass. the shadows on this ball also are very unique and allow someone to view it in 2 parts and not just one whole ball so it gives them time to seperate things in their head and doesnt overwhelm them.
this shot i also took at the Winslow Tournament and i really like the positioning of the guy cradling the ball. how his leg is in the air and is in motion but there’s no blur. i really like sports photography. although this isnt a great shot framing wise i still like the sharpness of the colors and the lines in the players legs.
these were all taken at a recent tennsi tournament that my little bro competed in for national ranking. i personally thought that tennis couldnt be a good sport to shoot because there’s one pose every photographer gets and thats the ball hitting the racquet and i soon learned that i could have all sorts of fun even when the ball wasnt in play. i think i did a great job of shooting this event and i found that art comes in all shapes, sizes and games when looked at with the right attitude.
this one is of a dear friend of mine who i find most beautiful and fun. anyway i like this picture because of the darkness in has, when really she’s a very loving beautiful person and i liked showing off this side that only a handful get to see. some things im going to work on next time is framing because of her toes at the bottom of the page are cut off and thats not good framing i also might turn the camera a bit to give it a sense of unbalance adding to the hatred shown in her face. i love this shot really good job by my model. thanks
this one is my personal favorite not just because shesshowing off her panties but the facial expression and and the hand positioning. her right hand shows this like sort of like shocking look with her fingers spread out but on the otherside she’s relaxed. this really really helps the eye get down there and notice the point of this shot. next time i think im going to shoot some other background so she’ll pop off better or using more back lights. but i love this shot very very much and loved how it came out.
alright this one i like because it is very contrasting from the other 2 and very much so compliments her personality. the head positioning and the shoulder positions have a great help in leading your eye down her body and doesnt cause a lot of tension when you look at it. the facial look was very helping because it relaxes the entire picture and very much so tones down the mood after viewing the other 2 shots. again a big thanks to my model hannah for being so fun and friendly your the best sweetheart and i bet we will be seeing more and more of her later on.
Picture of moon
For this shot and most of the shots of the weeks to come im focusing on lines and how they can lead people to where i want them to look. The first shot im focusing on the moon and its many interior lines. The gentle curve that the moon has in the top right corner of my shot gives it a feeling of gentleness. the rigid lines and fast moving life around the moon gives it the feeling of reality and even though life still moves fast around us, theres still beauty in the simple things. Colors are very contrasting with the dark blue night sky and the beautiful white moon illuminating the sky for the evening. The focus was not obviously on color but more on the lines in the shot. Overall im very pleased with the shot and how big my subject was in comparision to the overall framing. This was a lucky catch for the moon being so big too and i just so happened to have all my camera stuff on me. Im very pleased with the outcome.
This shot was a focus on more of how i could use liones in the background to draw attention to my subject. Now as you see i put my subject in the corner where most people start reading a picture so automatically you begin with the image of the girl. then as you travel down the fram you notice her eyes and how well they pop out of the background and how her face and hand are the attraction of the shot. The gentle curve and the end of her nose doesnt send you off into the rest of the shot but more down the rest of her untill you reach the bottom where the hand draws you back up to her face again. The blue background was a great way to make her pop right out of the background without the proper lighting due to none of the colors match and she just flows with the shot. Overall im very very pleased with this shot. The main purpose was to actually show my girlfriend this beautiful little girl that i work with at my church and i was overwhelmed with how the shot turned out. The lighting was just superb and the exposure time needed just a little adjustment and a little bit brightening but overall i was very happy with this shot.
alright this one i was all over the place i never really was looking for an exact direction i just kinda picked up the camera and ran with it. the first one i know i was looking to have that nice bright happy shot and the colors just had to be tweaked in photoshop a bit so i did. the second one i have no idea where i have going i think i was trying to feel out my 50mm again because its been so long since i shot on it. and the last one i saw it and couldnt help sent that one to photoshop to give it that dreamy feel almost like somehting was in the future and it summed up high school really quick
one big flash
these were all taken at a recent tennsi tournament that my little bro competed in for national ranking. i personally thought that tennis couldnt be a good sport to shoot because there’s one pose every photographer gets and thats the ball hitting the racquet and i soon learned that i could have all sorts of fun even when the ball wasnt in play. i think i did a great job of shooting this event and i found that art comes in all shapes, sizes and games when looked at with the right attitude.
this shot really i focused on the color to attract the eye the most and then while they were so side tracked with the shots on the outside of the triptych i would creatively orient the middle shot differently to allow for the contrast of the mounting to attract the viewers eye. i was really trying a different way to attract the eye more than trying to sell my shot. personally, art is not about selling shots in your gallery and i dont find that as a mark of success but more of what people feel when they see the shot. i really like the contrast of the black and white with the colors on the outside of the shot, it really steps outside of the ordinary. i would have loved to bring a bit of color in the middle shot and taken a few colors out of the outside of the other shots. i think i may pursue that in another week of shots and then add them together at the end of the week. that would be fun and interesting. this project was more for me to find the best way to show a triptych. i really liked the whole project and im glad the show did great. congrats to the people who sold but more congrats to everyone who showed .
