Person Portrait Continued...

        
          These are the other two of my "person portrait" project. I had some technological issues, and that's why they are seperate from the other. My grandpa is one of my very favorite people, and I greatly enjoyed photographing him! The thing that I don't understand about the photos is the lines across the angles of it. I really have no idea why it does that. If I could redo these photos I would fix the lighting. They are still pretty dark even though I lightened them. I had fun with this project!

Self Portrait Project

           The self portrait project was interesting. I really like my "cake face" photo, but other than that I wasn't a huge fan of it all. The first photo is of me with my sleeping mask on. I really like this photo despite the dots and the shadows where my eyes should be. Next time I'll need to figure out better lightning. My second photo is of me outside with  the sun shining in the background. I really enjoy this photo. For some reason on the left side of my face there is a color change, and I'm not sure what went wrong there. It was probably how I printed the photo and/or other chemical on it. It could even be that it wasn't in a certain chemical for as long as it should have been. My last photo is my "cake face". I love this photo! I really hate the dust particles that got on it, though. I love how the light hits my face and the cake lights up. The fact that my teeth are visible and I am smiling really brings out the photo as well!

Contact Sheets

           These are all of my contact sheets. As you can see, each one got better as I got better and learned how to make better contact sheets. The pictures are very clear on my first one, but I wasn't quite able to get the holes to be black. On my next few I did a lot better. What happened with my photos on my last two contact sheets is my film wouldn't unwind, so when I opened up my camera to get the roll out, the light hit it briefly. The thing that bothers me is the dust particles that stick to the final copy, so when you scan it, that's what you see. Next time I'll make sure to upload them to my blog right away so that this doesn't happen.

Person Portrait

                 This is a photo of my grandfather. He was one of the people I chose to take photos of, and he was such a great model. :)  My grandpa means the world to me, and he's really a funny guy. This photo is of him doing what he does best. Whenever he reads the newspaper, he's usually asleep within five minutes. I had a lot of fun doing this project with him! The thing that I would change about this photo is I could are the three light blue-ish lines. I'm not sure what this indicates, or what went wrong. It may have been how I developed, and so I need to make sure to do everything even more precise than I always do. All in all, this was a great project and I had a lot of fun doing it with my grandpa!

Film- Franklin

                   This photo came from my very first roll of film. It was taken place at The University of Washington at my friend's college gymnastics meet. He is one of four guys on his team, and each of them have worked very hard to get where they are today. My friend, Franklin, is flipping off the vault in this photo. I was really disappointed when I developed this photo and found it to be blurry. The reason for this is because I should have set the shutter speed for much faster because he was flipping so fast. Also, the camera decided to record my movement as well as his, so that affected the photo as well. If I could retake this shot, I would definitely change the settings on my camera. Maybe next time!

INTEGRITY alphabets

              This is my alphabet project. I went all around my street taking photos, and that is where most of them came from. I chose the word "integrity" to upload because of the meaning behind it to me. Integrity is something that I have and take very seriously, so I thought it'd be neat to make that my word. When I was looking for letters to capture, it really opened up my mind as to certain things in the world. Even my mom noticed this change, because she helped me find all twenty-four letters. I wouldn't do this project over, because I like what I came out with, but I would definitely add to it, having more than one letter of the alphabet out of worldly things. I'm happy with this project and had a lot of fun with it!

            This was the last pinhole photo that I captured. This was also taken outside, so the shutter speed was just one second. This is outside our school and you can just see the American Flag off to the left. When I peeled the tape off the hole I didn't realize my can too high up, so if I were to redo it, I would make sure I had more of the school and such in the photo. Still, I really like this.
