UNDERSTANDING THE

DISCIPLINES OF

STILL LIFE. Amanda Montano The technique I used was to get good pictures was moving the focusing point and setting up a a place to take a good picture and I also tried my best to get good lighting and to get a good mood. If I wanted to make it sad I needed a dark spot. If I to make it happy I needed a lighter spot. If I wanted to chose a light spot I need to go by the windows so i sunlight can come in. It get a darker picture I needed to step away from the window.

SELF PORTRAITS DURING THE TIME OF COVID - 19

1. Work on mastering working with your multi Selector button and focusing point.2. Work with close ups. 3. Create a photo conveyi mood through 4. Have a simple noncomplex background. Where you place the focusing point on your main subject. Light or a well lit background means a happy mood. Exact opposite with a sad mood shot. Dark background produces a sad mood. You accomplish this by where you put the focusing point and where you place the model. Dark area or light area.

The technique that I used to get my photos was finding a place where the background was basically empty expect a few objects. The lighting was the most hardest part because sometimes the photo was Expose to lighting in the background sometimes it was to much light or too much dark so it was hard, and also it was very annoying trying to move the Multi-selector button to my lightest place because I was shaking so much so then I had to put it back. Some Highlight were using the non-life objects because I was able to make some good scenes.

Today I learned how to use shutter speed and how it helps my photos look better. The purpose of shutter speed is to show us the lighting mood of our photos before we take it My focusing point also has something to do with this. If I don’t move my my focusing point to where my object is through the lens it will come out blurry and that photo won’t look nice. Over all, I have learned a lot today, and I am looking forward to coming back to photography next Wednesday. :))

taraji mcclarence The focusing point helps to focus on one thing. for example, if you are taking a picture of someone you use the focusing point to focus on their face. The purpose of the shutter speed is to make you picture lighter or darker. Another example, If you taking a photo of an object you use the focusing point on the object only. that was the point of the focusing point and the purpose of shutter speed.

How one’s focusing point connects with your shutter speed. • What to use to change your shutter speed.

The purpose of the shutter speed is to improve the focus on the photograph and improve the lighting. I was having trouble with the focus point on the camera because the pattern I was taking a photo of was only focused on one part and that kind of ruined the whole photograph. But, when I changed the shutter speed to 90, the sharpness of the picture changed drastically. It was clear and the photo looked better overall. The lighting was also looking better
