Todays learning log was a little tricky because taking photos at night leads to grainy photos. For these photos I used leading lines and any light that was available to bring out the subject.

Today we learned how to capture our subjects in the night . With little to no light present the photo required a high iso. It also required us to allow as much light to come in as possible with out losing  focus on the subject. I accomplished this by maintaining  a low aperture and my shutter speed at 1/100.

For the first shot I had found a sort of spot pyramid shaped light doorway and thought it would be cool if the subject stood in the middle. The professor used the light stick to create the fire-effect in the background. The second shot was taken near a movie ad that was well lit. We had a blue light behind him to highlight.

Today in class we walked around Dumbo messing around with natural and artificial lighting when it got darker. The shot with the cat i had use the bulb in the store to light the cat as much as possible since he was in the store. my second shot has a great LED lighting on my model for the photo. My third and final shot is of the manhattan bridge from below with barely any lighting so i had bump my ISO very high to get the silhouette of the bridge.

Just be you

I chose to do the PSA on just being true to yourself. I fiddled with the color gels and wanted to have the 3 subjects (with their respective favorite colors) making various poses, these are the ones that I settled on, though I had other good photos it would probably have worked well with.

For the PSA project, I chose to do it on depression awareness. I chose to use a black background to give it a darker feel. I also used one light on the subject to achieve that sense of darkness. I wanted to give the sense that he was alone and hopeless, that’s why there is only but so much light on him and a lot of shadows; giving it a void sensation. To achieve this shot, I used a shutter speed of 1/100, the aperture was F10, and the ISO was 100. All of these were used to compensate for the dark area and strobe light.

Today we photographed images of our public service announcements. I took two photos and showing the difference between a person sagging and not sagging. My settings were f4, iso 100, and a shutter speed of 1/160.

Today we learned how to make PSA. I choose to make my PSA about Drunk Driving

For this learning log i focused on capturing a image with a message. My PSA statement placed emphasis on the Flint water crisis. Additionally, i used photoshop to get the fonts that would complement my PSA image with out over powering it.  I also, used png for the image  logos.
