Assignment #9

Fill Flash on a Sunny Day
- I was a little rushed with this assignment and didn't pick the correct light.  I should really go back and do again.....
For this assignment I had to take multiple pictures adjusting the flash exposure.  Thank you to my co-worker Maureen.  Here are a few examples. 

No Flash

Full Flash

-1 Stop

-2 Stops

Fill Flash indoor picture
Again I hate to take multiple pictures adjusting the flash exposure.  Thank you to Mike.

 

Last part of the assignment was to take some fun pictures.  Here are a few from Sarah's bachelorette party at Trapeze school in the city. 

Assignment #6

For this weeks assignment I kinda messed up.  We were suppose to put our mode into Aperture or Speed - then adjust the Exposure Compensation to either overexpose or underexpose.  For some reason I forgot that when you're in Aperture or Speed mode - the camera automatically adjusts the opposite setting so you have the correct setting - why is why you have the Exposure Compensation.  So I skipped the Exposure Compensation mode and did all of my pictures in Manual Mode so I could view the light meter and make the adjustment on my own.  I'll do better next time.....
We had to take about 7 pictures of white overexposed and 7 back underexposed.  I'll save you from all the pics and just post a few.

White - Overexposed at 1 1/3

Black - Underexposed at 1 1/3

Now for our Creative pictures.  We had to take 5 pictures from our neighborhood.

Assignment #5

This week we worked on our shutter speed.  This one was a little difficult because I needed a volunteer.  Thankfully I was able to twist the arm of a Belmar beach house friend.  Considering I didn't really sell the experience, she was a really good sport.

Next we had to communicate an idea.  This one was a little tricky.  For the next couple of weeks he's going to give us a word and/or phrase and we need to capture in a picture......ugh.

- Urban jungle

- Will this ever end?
