For the first two images my shutterspeed was around 1/160th of a second, my iso was 100, and my aperture was f8 – f10. For my third photo I blended a color background with my subjects face using layer masks, and the brush tool. I placed the color layer above my subject layer. Then I chose my blend mode which was overlay, and painted out the mask, only leaving the areas on his face.
To capture these photos I had to underexpose the background in order for the subject to be well lit by the speed light. My settings for the photos were shutterspeed 1/160, ISO 800, and Aperture of F/4.0. I tried a variety of angles squatting and standing and moving the light from different sides. We found that the light works the best from the far right or left to give the light and angle.
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.
For the first image, we wave the blue light stick in multiple swinging movements. We wanted to create a cool college of light. For the second image we were trying accomplish multiple exposures. He moved in quick succession in one direction to create a ninja like run out of frame. For the third image we used the pixel stick to create a wall of light behind Casey who was posing sort of like a ballerina. Our shutter speed was about 10 seconds, ISO 100, and an aperture of f10.
I will be taking pictures of my friend Ashley for my midterm

This is the best photo I took in class today. There was really cool spot light kind of light in the bathroom and awkwardly took a picture of a my partner. The wall gives it a really cool grid/leading lines effect. The light shines down on to his hat perfectly illuminating his top half, while vignetting his bottom half.
The photo’s below are just cool/fun edits I did to the image afterwords.
The photographer who’s work I chose is Jeremy Cowart. The above photo stood out to me the most because of its unique look and feel. I love that the person’s face is blocked by their hair, it add’s a sense of mystery. The color’s are not over saturated or bright. You can see use of the rule of thirds, lining the subject (the person) on the right side of the image. The two palm trees sort of act as a frame for the person. The pools rim almost looks like leading lines pointing back toward the subject. The only part of the image that doesn’t work for me is the house. It’s kind of unnecessarily placed in the frame and distracting.
