MidTerm Portfolio

This is what I turned in as my final MidTerm Portfolio.  It is supposed to show the presence/influence of people and horses and riding in an apparently empty barn.

Buddist Stupa in Welford 10/17

Here are 5 photos from the stupa in Welford.

Unfortunately, the fisheye lens doesn't "talk" to the camera very well, so it doesn't know what to record as the actual aperture (therefore, I don't have that data).  I took a few photos with my 35mm-80mm, but not many.  And only one made the cut!

UPDATE At Last!

Life. It is busy. And the internet is slow. Nevertheless, this is an update! (yikes, nearly a month between...)

But, here are the photos that I took the night I got my fisheye lens.

Portfolio, Pt 1

This may not (probably won't) be the series of photos I turn in for our first portfolio assignment, but I spent all afternoon yesterday photographing Scotsgrove (I liked and saved 114 photos, if that tells you anything), and I'm going to take a stab at sifting through them and making a put-together "series".  Please tell me what you think!!!

Environmental Portraits (take 2)

Prof. Hiott gave us another try at environmental portraiture.  I went to the Renaissance Festival in Charlotte, NC this past weekend, so I decided to take my camera there.  I think it was much more successful because I had a better idea of what the portraits should look like.  I also had what I guess is a normal photographer's experience: I took over 200 photos at the Fair.  I am keeping about 65 (not all of which are environmental portraits though! I will put the rest up on Facebook)

Here they are!

1. Canon EOS 450D, F# 7.1, SS 1/160

2. Canon EOS 450D, F# 5, SS 1/200 (I had to edit the exposure way down because the original was overexposed)

3. Canon EOS 450D, F# 5, SS 1/80

4. Canon EOS 450D, F# 5, SS 1/180 (This is Zilch, the Tory Steller.  I wish he hadn't moved and blurred a bit, but this photo showed the best environment.)

 5. Canon EOS 450D, F# 5, SS 1/30 (It took forever to get the image to not blur.  And, even with a shutter speed of 1/30, I still had to "expose" it a bit more in Preview.)

Portraiture #3

TO BE EDITED.

Sorry, guys.  I have the photos, but I won't be able to upload them until before class tomorrow!!  They are ready and waiting.... I just need the internet connection.  I know--excuses, excuses... but it takes literally 5 minutes at school, and nearly an hour here at home.  Very annoying... So, come back to see them photos!!


 OKAY! Photos!!  These are all of David, my boyfriend.  He was a sweetheart and let me photograph him even after working third shift and 3.5hrs of sleep.  Then we got silly and made some Halloween faces.

Portraiture #2

And then our homework assignment was to take some environmental portraits.  My sister and her husband allowed me to take photos of them (I will post those later).  I also included one of my mother at her desk prior to the assignment, but it is an environmental portrait.
