Panning

Today in photography I learned how to use a technique called panning. This technique is used to capture moving objects in action. To get these types of photos you have to move your camera with the subject. When this happens the background behind the subject is supposed to get blurry. To do so you have to set your camera on manual mode, the F- stop has to be set to 1/40 of a second and the ISO has to be set to 400, and you need to change the settings on the camera to take multiple pictures. I enjoyed learning how the use the panning technique because once I started to get the hang of everything it was a lot of fun.

Indoor Formal Portraits

 This is a indoor formal portrait of my classmate Britany. to take this picture I had to turn the ISO to 3200 because the lighting in the room was kind of dark. I took a few shots of her in different positions this is the position that I liked best because the light hit her face just right.

This is a portrait that my photography teacher took of my teacher Mrs. Shore. I think that he did a really good job at taking these photos because he took a lot of shots without her even knowing and they came out really good.

Formal portrait

This is a Formal Portrait of my photography teacher. To capture this image I focused on the subject which is him. I had to over expose this image to do so. I had to take a couple shots to get it just right. I took this photo in black and white to make the image more intriguing. I find myself comfortable with taking Formal Portraits because all you have to do is focus on the subject.

Black & White

This is a picture of a dripping faucet, to take pictures like this you need absolute timing. In this photo I had the camera set on manual and the timing was set to 1/1250 of a second, the f-stop was set to f6.3. The difference between taking pictures on auto and manual is that you have way more control of how you want the photo when you take pictures manually, when you set your camera to auto the camera does everything for you.
