Motion Planning

Blurred Subject- in order to get a blurred subject you will need to set your camera up with a slow shutter speed and the camera needs to be stabilized so the subject can be blurred but the background is clear. Also try and make your shots to follow the rule of thirds.

Panning- to get a panning shot you will need to have your camera on a low shutter speed. Although, when you take the picture your subject needs to be walking or running so when you start taking pictures make sure you can match the speed of your subject.

Frozen Motion- in order to get a picture with no blur what so ever, you will need to have your camera on a high shutter speed and make sure your ISO can be equalized with the shutter speed. In order to get the picture you will need to hand-held while taking the picture.

Zooming- To get a zooming picture, your camera will need to be on a low shutter speed and the camera can be either hand held or stabilized with a tripod while taking the picture. While taking the picture you will need to zoom in really fast while taking the picture so the subject looks blurred while the background of the image feels like you're being sucked in.

Writing with light- in order to get a cool image like this you will need to have a really slow shutter speed. The camera needs to be stabilized at all times. You can use the flashlight on your phone to start writing with light while the camera is taking the picture of you.

Lighting Final

5 Finished pieces:

Existing Light was used in this photograph to show his "thinking" stage because due to the fact he thinks every second of the day about what is he going to do for that day.

Natural Light was used in this photograph to show my friends happy place and that is him smoking his tobacco products while the pack is full so he doesn't run out in a long time.

Natural Light is used in this photograph because this shows my friends most favorite thing and that is his car.

Natural Light was used in this photograph to show how his "natural beauty" because he always does this face everyday.

Existing Light: This was used to show my friends favorite thing to do after school and that is to take a 5 hour nap. He says that he works and goes to school almost everyday so when he has a day off all he does is sleep.

Why is this person important to your life?

My friend's name is Dino Grabic and he has been my friend since 6th grade. I've had many friends in my life but all of those friends i had all left my life except 3 of them. One of those friends is this one i took photographs of, he saw me in my worst and he still talked to me like i was in my best, he shows me that he's a true best friend by doing anything for me whenever i asked him too and i would do the same for him and he knows that; so that's why this person is important in my life and always will because he is actually a true best friend. My friend's personality was a challenge for me to take pictures because he is never serious and we both like to joke around when we have to do things like this. His personality is just laid back and hilarious all the time so all the pictures we took was showing his true personality of laid back and funny. I mostly chose existing and natural light to show his personality and i told him to dress how he usually does everyday to show everyone his true self. All those years i spent with him showed his true emotions so it was easy to take pics with him. This unit affected my photography because i worked with the same people. Working with someone with specific emotions rather than the same people, i learned how to evoke emotions from the person viewing the photo by depicting the emotion of the subject through the photo.
