Stop Motion Photography!

     In this image, my friends Jalen and Gabe are jumping over four trash cans! I had this idea when I saw a few trash cans outside on the soccer field, and I asked Gabe to jump over them and Jalen just jumped in and started doing it with him. I started out taking pictures from the back, but I decided to take the pictures from the front. And I'm sitting on the ground looking up at them, so it is more of an interesting angle.
   I chose this picture for the Stop Motion assignment because I liked how they look almost frozen in the air.  The first thing that caught my eye was how cool they looked in the air. Gabe is doing a karate kick and Jalen is jumping over with his two feet high in the air! When I took this image, I wanted to show how much fun they were having. We were taking pictures outside in photography class, and we were having a good time! So when I asked them to jump over the trash cans, I wanted to capture the enjoyment of the class we were having. They had to jump over them quite a few times, beceause I wanted to get them in the air perfectly! I think they were getting tired, and you can see how determined they looked in their faces!:)
    This photo is a Stop Motion in the air because it is literally stopping their motion! They are in the air, and there is no blur in the picture! It also shows Worm's Eye View because the camera is looking up at them, just like a worm would! It also has a Leading Line in it! There are 4 gray trash cans in it in a row, causing a line! So, as I said, this photo not only meets the Stop Motion Photography assignment this week, but also has the composition elements: Worm's Eye View and Leading Lines! :D

Stop Motion Photography!

                   In this image, the faucet was dripping. When I heard about our assignment this week I always thought it would be cool to take a picture of water stopped in it's motion! So, I went into my parents bathroom, and turned the faucet on to a drip. I started taking shots with the fast shutter speed. It was hard to capture the drip, but I eventually got a few pictures with the water dripping. I cropped it to where it was rule of thirds and the focus wasn't on the towel in the background as much. I like how the focus is on the faucet and not the clock and towel in the background!

Repetition

  While we were outside taking pictures, we went to the playground first. The first thing I noticed was the swings. I like how there were four of them right in a line, which makes it repitition! I took a few pictures of them at different angles. I liked this angle the best. I cropped it to where the school wasn't it too much of the picture, so the swings were the main focus!!

Repetition

 We were taking pictures by the pond for photography class. I looked in  the pond and saw some acorns in it, and they were close together! I realized it fell under repitition because there were three acorns like one was repeating itself. I like how they were almost half way sunk down. I took the picture, and increased the blue in the pond in photoshop. I thought it turned out looking pretty nice.

                                                               This picture is another example of framing. I was walking down the path back to the building, because it was time to go to my next class. So, when I was walking, I saw these trees, and I thought they framed the lake, so I took the picture! And my teacher said it did fall under framing! I really like the colors and the reflection on the lake. :)

Framing

In this image three children are smiling with their arms around each other. The five year old boy is in the middle (Bryce), with two three year old girls on the outside (Rachel and Jenna). There's a pair of hands in front of the lens forming a heart. The heart forms around the toddlers! I enjoy this picture a lot because of the very bright colors in it!
When I took this photo it was on Labor Day at my grandma's house. All of my cousins were over and we were having a great time! When I took the image, I wanted it to portray the fun we were having and what good friends the three kids are! When I look back at this picture, I think of how much enjoyment they were having that day, and what an adorable group of friends they are!
This picture includes framing because the hands are forming a heart around the kids, like a frame! The hands make it much more fascinating because of the heart. If I just took a photo of the kids...it would not be half as interesting. I think the heart also increases the show of love  between the kids!

  This is a leading lines photo because the Bibles are in a line leading to the end of the window sill. I saw the Bibles in the windowsill in the gym and i noticed they were in a line, and took the picture! :)

This is a leading lines photo because the lines lead right to the end of the amphitheater on south campus here at school!I liked the leaves on the ground and the benches in the photo!

  This photo is a leading lines photo because the fence keeps leading on to the pink flower in the middle, and even goes on past the flower!
