Field Trip

The class went on a field trip and I went along and the assignment was to get a picture that could tell a story by itself.

This is a picture of a homeless man counting the money he received from a stranger.
(F 5, ISO 100, Shutter Speed 1/80)

This photo was taken in a flash as the firetruck was speeding by to get to a fire or I don't even know what it was probable a car crash.
(F 4, ISO 140, Shutter speed 1/80)

I don't have a clue of why the ambulance was at the Eaton Centre Toronto Hotel but it looked like an interesting scene so I snapped a picture of it.
(F 4.5, ISO 2800, Shutter speed 1/80)

broken photos


This is my first picture that I show you from my broken rules project. I what I did was set my shutter speed so that it will take a few seconds to take the photo, as I was doing that I moved my camera in a arching movement so that this picture could be taken.
(F 4.5, ISO 100, Shutter speed 1/1.6)

Ah yes. This picture is a pretty picture and as you can see I am breaking the rules and how I did this was by placing the light in the center of my lens as I lied down looking up.
(F 3.5, ISO 250, Shutter speed 1/160)

This photo was a simple picture as I just placed my hand in front of the camera while taking a picture of my friend. And the lighting is off and there is a bit of motion blur.

Mixed lighting MK.II


Alright so I have redone my mixed lighting project and here is the first picture! So in this picture you have the light from the trophy case shining down and the red light from the Exit sign.
(F5, ISO 1100, Shutter speed 1/100)

This is a nice picture because we have the sun and the lights from the school.
(F4, ISO 560, Shutter speed 1/100)

Alright this is a simple picture. There's one flashlight above his head and a different flashlight under his giving us this cool effect.
(F3.8, ISO 800, Shutter speed 1/20)

Painting with light

This was a really fun experiment to do because I got to use my laser pointers and well hang out in the dark.

I used my blue laser pointer in this photo and had my friend stand still as I blasted his with the laser. I also the darkness of the park complements the lit up sky.
(F5, ISO 1400, Shutter speed 15s)

This was a cool one. I had my friend wave his phones flashlight in a semi circle as I hit him with a red laser pointer. I also had the ISO down low so that only he would be the focus.
(F5, ISO 100, Shutter speed 15s)

You know what they say "Paint the town red" but in this case the park. It's really simple what I did in the photo, which is just me colouring the park in red and green lasers.

Mixed Lighting

Alright this was really hard to do and I'll probably upload better pictures.

Here I have my friend with his face being lit up by dying light as he had his flash light pointed at his golden hair.

Once again with the hair I had my friend point his flashlight at the side of his head as his back was to the sun.

I could have done better with this picture. But my friend was somewhat in front of the son as a flashlight lit up his beard.

Proper Studio Lighting


For this shot I had my friend just sit in front of the camera making any face he wanted. But for the lighting I had the main overhead light from the room on and a strong lamp facing the right side of his face. It made the right side of his face glow.

This was a cool shot. What I did was pretty simple. First I turned off the main light then I put the lamp through a window. So in the darkness the reflection of the light going through the window made him look really cool and it makes you wonder what he is thinking.

Another simple lighting picture. It is almost the same as the first one but the difference is that I had the lamp very close to him and I had turned off the main light. It really shows you how lighting can affect your photo.

Here's a contact sheet of the photos that I took that have survived the process of me deleting them by mistake.
