Assignment 2

 

Assignment 2

Motion Blur

Personally, motion blur was the easiest because the photography did not require many attempts it was just to catch an item in motion while I was standing still. I used 1/60 shutter speed on the ProCamera app, personally did not see a big difference compared to taking regular pictures with the camera app on the iPhone.

Stop Motion

This technique was very difficult by far the hardest technique I had to do because the whole work was in the items I was taking the picture or the person I had to catch very precise moments, For this technique, I used a very slow shutter speed, this was in 1/600 or 1/800, this te3chnique was very fun even if it was difficult because there were some things that would not move even if in front of you they would be moving. It gave me a very good opportunity to learn about shutter speeds very specifically.

Panning

Unfortunately, Panning is my last type of pictures I was able to take since it was almost impossible for me to do long exposure that is why this assignment took some time because every time I tried to do long exposure the result was nowhere near what I was expecting. But for panning I had a lot of fun, catching people or things in motion while you were also in motion with the camera was lots of fun and I completed that quite quickly, I also used 1/60 and made most picture rather crisp, but for this it is all in the photographers' ability to do the movement and not so much the camera.

Part 2: Self Portrait

Throughout this part of the assignment I had a little bit of a struggle on where to take the pictures and what to do throughout them that is why it is not so interesting it is just pictured in my room or by my window sill, working with the different shadows around my room.

Lui Bolin

This photography used a very unique photograph for his self-portrait he incorporated himself into the background and makes it quite hard to actually find him but the way he did this was very inspiring and I would enjoy trying something of the sort eventually. Unfortunately, I did the research after taking the pictures which is why I didn’t really copy what the photographers did.

Robert Mapplethorpe

This photographer often took picture of himself as either a man or a women which is very unique, you don’t often see many photographers taking pictures of themselves in the other sex which is why he caught my eye, although the pictures don’t use motion blur they are very unique and I have not seen someone do this.
