In-Class Essay

At the beginning of the school year 9 months ago, my perception of a good photo has drastically changed. One of the examples I  had written down was:

• Have a good ISO

Now that I had done an assignment on ISO. I had learned that the higher you have you're ISO the more noise/grainy it will be, for your perfect photo.

There are three elements I will now use whenever I go take some photos. I will change the Shutter Speed, Aperture and the ISO, they are all important to use when you are using the manual function to make sure you get the right photo. 

If I took photography again next year, I would be interested in underwater photography. I've always wanted to do that, but lack the proper equipment to do so. But in all seriousness, I would love to focus on Shilowet photography and Microphotography.

Double Colors Exposure Assignment

Here I made this photo two different colours so you can see the before to after photo of my Father giving my Grandma a kiss on the cheek and my mom awkwardly looking over her shoulder to see what is happening, I had changed the RGB so that way we can see him going in for the kiss and the kiss, that seems like it's happening at the same time!!

Portfolio

Here we have a black and white photo of my father laughing at a possible joke that was told, during Christmas up at Cambell River.

Here we have a tunnel at Stanley Park, with the darkness of the photo with the light of the reflection on the water.

This was a forced Perspective photograph assignment, with my Father standing on the Fire Hydrant and posing. Legends say he met Ant-Man in the Quantum Realm.

This was the first Magazine assignment we did during class. This photo has a 3D font made in Photoshop

This was a part of the reflection assignment in Photography 12, this was taken during Christmas.

Here we have another photo taken during Christmas of my mom, she is the main Subject of the photo, with the background blurred out.

This is by far the best photo that I could have taken as it was a surprise to everyone including my Granda being the most surprised.

Here we have the head off of a Chinese Ship from the past, that had crashed, and that was the only piece that they could salvage. This photo has the sun darkening the Dragons head to show that it still has the power that is as strong as the sun.

Here we have a Macrophotopgh of a small branch on a Mountian in Victoria BC. This was the only leaf that was starting to show on a bush, and I thought it was the perfect shot, that I took that day.

Downtown Vancouver, Nicola St. this photo sticks out to me due to the Stop Light and the colour red, to me, that indicates that the day never ends at any time in Downtown Vancouver.

Here we is a beautiful photo of my dog Skye, she loves being a photogenic dog, I have learned my photography skills based on the photo's I have taken of her.

The Inukshuk, a prosperous image of an Infamous statue made first by the Inuit Nation's people. This picture shows how strong they can be, that they can withstand the power of the sun. while bringing people together.

  

Finally, a man-made shelter that was made on the sandy beaches of English Bay, with the sunset in the background, the light bouncing off the waves of the sea. Maybe one day we'll all end up there, admiring the Beauty our planet gives us every minuet.

Here we have a comparison of when I was younger at age 1 2003, and now a photo when I am age 17 2019.  There are of course a lot of differences, but one major one that is not a difference is the location of the park.  I am now of course older, so my clothes are bigger and all that. The similarities are is that I am in the same position I was 16 years ago, the same smile just older.

Forced Perspective Photography Assignment

Now, I do know that this is one photo, not two.
But my main goal for achieving this photo was, to be able to get the right angle to get the right shot. It took some time to do, to get this one photo. 
One thing that I would change is using a different object for the photo.
I chose this photograph because it looks fun to have a little person standing on the fire hydrant, and just imagine what being that small would be like!

Macro Photography Assignment

Here is a picture of a flower, I had zoomed in to take the photo and used manual focus.
I chose this subject for the photo because it's mid-spring and there is a lot of beautiful flowers outside, no matter where you go.
One positive thing, that I like about this photo is that you can see in detail, the colours and spots on this flower. And one thing that I would change is having Dew or water droplets on it.

Recreate a Photo Assignment

Here we have the original photo that I had created, awhile back.


And here we have a recreated (different) photo. This shows that no matter what the age is, the sport of lacrosse is meant for all ages.
