Assignment 3 - Portraits

I'm so behind posting these! Our third assignment was to attempt some portraits, and I focused on my favorite subjects. Again, these are all straight out of the camera. My favorite is the one of Claire running to Robert. I know that technically there are a lot of things that could be better, but I think it is such a great visual of their relationship.

Assignment 2 - Motion

Our second assignment for photography class was to play with the interaction between aperture and shutter speed while trying to maintain proper exposure. Our instructor wanted us to have some shots that captured a sense of motion. I struggled a little with this assignment but came up with a few shots I was happy with.

The first two involve my favorite subject. I liked that there was a little blur as she grabbed the crayon, while the second had her haphazard attempt at putting away the crayons, and they're surrounded by our doodles.

To get more variety, I went to the Japanese Gardens. I really wanted to get a photo of running water with a slow shutter speed and was happy with this one:

Slow motion. :)
