Blur Motion Journal ( 9/13/17 )
Before Questions :
1.) Blur motion is when you take a camera and use your shutter speed slow and take a picture when the subject / object is moving.
2.) In order to create a blur motion image you need 2/3 things. You need a camera, subject and if so, a prop. Bt only if you really need a prop for the image.
3.) I think about doing a picture of a girl wearing a skirt or dress and twirling so in which her dress / skirt twirls and fluffs up in the air. But my subject would be of course a girl.
4.) You need to adjust the shutter speed slower than what it would be. By doing this the shutter speed makes pictures more allegeable to see the object and the purpose.
5.) 25 images : in the picture and how.
In this image there is colorful rainbow water that is splashing outwards. This photo was taken by taking something and dropping it in the colorful water to get this splashing effect.
In this image there is a funny dog and he is shaking his head and fur as if he was wet and he has to shake off the water. This photo was taken by taking a dog and getting the dog shake his head.
In this image there are 6 kids swinging on a swing set. Each kid are swinging at their own pace. This photo was taken by taking kids and putting them on the swings and take a picture of them as they are swinging at different paces to get this effect.
In this photo there is a water balloon that is being popped. This photo was taken by taking a water balloon and a pin or anything sharp and popping the water balloon.
In this photo there is a city and moving traffic lights on the free way. The beams of light between the buildings are from the lights from cars that are moving. This photo was taken by taking a picture off of the bridge above a freeway and capturing the lights on the cars, going and coming.
In this photo there is a girl wearing a white skirt and she is leaping in the sky. This photo was taken by getting a girl to leap in a dress while she is in the air.
In this photo there is a toy of 2 little mouses hugging each other and spinning on a older style of a spinner on a playground. But this photo was taken by taking the 2 little mouses and spinning them on the spinner and taking a picture while the spinner is in motion.
Forced Perspective Journal
I chose these 7 pictures for forced perspective photography as my examples. But in all 7 pictures there are dogs. In the images they are taking the dogs and manipulating the dogs whether they are making silly faces, riding them, making them seem larger than they really are and making it seem like they are touching a building. But they created these images by the depth of field and angling the camera to where both images are in focus. Then, I think the depth of field, line of straight and distance affect the image because you have to set both objects exactly where both images are clear, as in it can be tricky. But I would create these images like this with dogs.
Still Life Journal
The kind of stile life that i think i am going to be creating is a seasonal still life. By seasonal still life i mean by having holiday decorations and putting them together along with everyday decorations like flowers or a cup full of coffee or hot chocolate. The items that i am going to bring is like decorations for Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, 4th Of July / New Year's, Valentines Day and for a Birthday. But I'm only going to choose 4 themes for the minimum. But for the lighting I think its going to work for me by using a key light and just the sunlight from the sun outside. This is so I can get a warm feeling and make the images in focus with a black background so in which its the main focus and the color would pop out. No, my still life is not based off of a book because I'm just doing the seasonal holidays. But in a way for Christmas, it'll be like the book Frosty The Snow Man because of the snowman.

Independent Project Journal #1
Before Questions:
1.) For my independent project I picked to take pictures of backlit silhouette. I chose this topic to do my first independent project because I saw them online and on Instagram, so I thought it would be a nice topic to do for my first independent project. It has to do with the background being lit and the object being completely black and the face is invisible.
2.) I am going to shoot my images by waiting until sunset and sunrise to take my pictures. Its mostly going to be sunset because sunrise will be a challenge to shoot. Also, I had an idea of a car lighting up the object by being behind. In that the car lights give off light and the objects are still black and invisible. But the objects will all being doing something so that way you can see what they are doing.
3.) The only specific things that I will need for my images is the sunset and my people (models). This is because the sunset is the background that gives the models' figure to show. But other than the sunset and the models' I need, I honestly won't need anything else, unless i wanna add something.
4.) I think I'm pretty sure I will be shooting these photos somewhere where it has a flat surface and some trees. So maybe a park. But i was thinking of shooting at old town so i can get the sunset and a little bit of background from the patio. But most likely it will be somewhere where the sun sets and i can get a good view of it and to where my models won't have trouble.
5.) I want to try this type of photography because in Hawaii a long time ago I had taken some pictures of silhouettes. But i lost most of the pictures, so I thought maybe they will come out better if i take it with an actual camera. But mostly because i liked the way the picture had came out. I think it is an interesting type of photography to do with the sunset and people. Plus, I think they are look pretty even though its basic.
Independent Project Journal #2
Before Questions:
1.) For my 2nd independent project on dressed up dogs with cute little sayings on a sign. I picked my project on this because i think id love to try to take pictures of dogs with little funny cute signs. I found this idea when I was on pinterest and I seen a cute picture of a dog and their owners with a saying of "my parents are getting married" and I thought it was the cutest thing ever.
2.) I am going to shoot my project by getting a chalk board and having my dog along with my friends dogs all dressed up cute with a saying on the board saying something cute or funny. For example I'm thinking of getting my dog Bella and dressing her up in a dress and my friends dog in a tuxedo and the saying "its a doggy date".
3.) The most specific thing that I need is a chalk board so I can write cute sayings. But other than the chalk board I need to come up with cute sayings that will bring attention to the picture. I don't need the dogs to be fashionable. But I want something that makes the dog stand out.
4.) I think I am going to shoot these pictures at the park or inside my house. But I wanted to go with a more nature session thing where there are green and plants around. But if i can't shoot outside then I will shoot inside my house by having the dogs with a cloth acting like a backdrop.
5.) I wanted to do this project because I thought it would be a fun way to interact with dogs and I like dogs and think they look absolute cute when they pose. But I just chose this type of photography because to me i thought it would be very interesting and i guess a challenge for me because they dogs may not stay still when I take the pictures.
Independent Project Journal #3
Before Questions:
1.) For my 3rd project the type of photography that I chose to do is like my last project but this time I will be doing close ups and extreme close ups on dogs. The extreme close ups and close ups I will be doing is based on their noses and eyes. Its a shot when someone takes a picture of the dogs nose and eyes very closely. Its a shot of dogs and their eyes and noses.
2.) I am going to be shooting my projects by getting dogs and taking pictures of their eyes and noses close up. I personally want to make the background with scenery and some without scenery. But I will sit the dog down and focus on their noses and eyes. I want to try and take many pictures of different dogs or as much of different dogs that I can.
3.) The things that I mainly need specifically to get my close up doggy pictures of their noses and eyes is of course dogs and maybe a black background and the help of the sunlight, so daylight. But with the help of their owners or someone who their dog is very obedient to them. So that way the dogs aren't constantly moving around and jumping on me while I take the photos.
4.) I am going to be shooting the pictures inside. I will be shooting the pictures inside by a sliding door or window so in that way the sunlight will shine in on the dog. I think by shooting inside instead of the outside would be easier because the dogs wont be that distracted by the outdoors.
5.) I wanted to try and do thing type of photography because I thought it would be a cute idea to interact with dogs and plus it'd be an interesting cute animal that only shows their eyes and noses. I always wanted to try this type of photography anyways because it shows their cute noses and sometimes the pictures come out so cute and unforgettable.
Independent Project #4
Before Questions:
1.) For my 4th project, the type of photography that I chose to do another dog photography. I chose this type of photography because why not, I mean who doesn't love furry cute animals. And I just can't ver get enough of dogs and their cute furry faces. But I will take pictures of my dogs along with my boyfriend's dogs.
2.) I am going to shoot the images by getting the dogs to just have some reaction so that way I can snap the picture. My main goal is to get pictures of the dogs mainly smiling. But other than that I will need to brag them with snacks and little treats.
3.) The specific things that I will be needing for my objects is dogs and snacks. I will use snack to bribe the dogs to sit still and look into the camera. But other than the snacks and dogs I really won't be needed anything that much specific other than those 2.
4.) I am planning on shooting these inside the house mainly and maybe outside. But I think taking pictures outside with dogs would be really complicated because they will get so distracted to easily. But I mainly want to shoot inside because theres a wall that I can use as a back drop and on top of that atlas the dogs would feel comfortable.
5.) I want to do this type of photography because I think its just a favor in my interest and since I love furry dogs and taking pictures. I might as well tie the two together, and I benefit from it too because I also ave free cute doggy pictures that I took.
Independent Project #5
Before Questions:
1.) For my 5th project, the type of project that I chose to another doggy photography because I thought taking pictures of my dog Bella would be nice. Also she is kinda use to taking pictures now so it really won't be that much of a hassle to get to stay and look in the camera.
2.) I am going to shoot the images of her posing. Since she automatically poses and stays when she is comfortable and doesn't feel threatened, she will stay still with no doubt. But I will take pictures of her laying down and crossing her paws or her laying down with her head between her 2 front paws.
3.) The only specific tine of day that I will mainly need is day time because my dog is very obedient when its day time but when it comes to night time she gets cranky. But other than my dog and the camera I won't need anything that specific besides those 2 things.
4.) I am shooting these pictures inside because when my dogs outside she's honestly in her own type of doggy world and doesn't really listen. But I'm going to shoot the pictures inside so that way my dog does pay attention to me and will lay down.
5.) I want to do this type of photography because I can't get over my dog and I didn't really have that much cute pictures of her and I wanted more. Plus, I need pictures of my dog because she's my little bestfriend.
Independent Project #6
Before Questions:
1.) For my 6th project, the type of photography that I chose to do is a close-up shots on plants. A close-up shots on plants is when i take different plants, flowers and roses and I put them together. Just like a still but it doesn't have a back drop.
2.) I am going to shoot the images by taking the plants and putting the n a bowl with water and rearrange the plants and shoot my pictures. But I will to go around my neighborhood and my front yard picking different plants.
3.) The only specific things that I will is a bowl full of water and different plants. I plan on shooting the pictures with flash so it really wouldn't matter what time of day it is or where I will be taking the picots because the flash is basically the only light source I will be needing.
4.) I will be shooting the images inside because I don't want the sun to interfere with the flash. I would shot them outside but I think it would look cute with flash because I think the vibrant of the color that the plants give off will pop out.
5.) I want to do this type of photography because its spring and the flowers are blooming and I want to take pictures of how beautiful the flowers and roses look. But I love roses and since it's something other than dogs I just thought it would be a cute appreciation that its finally spring.
