Photography Convert Obscure: Out of Context The fourth unit of digital photography, covert obscure, the students set out to take pictures that were out of context. During these tasks, the students found odd places to take photos such as corners, close shots of tables and different rainy surfaces. My favorite shot of this task was water spots on a table. I turned the red and orange saturation up and highlighted the spots more making it look like a turtle shell pattern.

Photography The Start of the Year: Alphabet, Color, Motion and Point of View At the beginning of the year, digital photography students set out to do mini tasks in order to further improve their photography skills. Some of these tasks were to capture motion, color, point of view and the alphabet. The students went both inside and outside in order to capture these elements. My personal favorite of these tasks was the point of view task. I felt that with a certain point of view you could really convey an emotion or storyline much stronger than just staying on one level.

Photography Portrait: Ethan On October twenty-second a group of two photographers and one model took many portraits both inside and outside trying to get the perfect lighting, clarity, and emotion in the pictures. The photographer instructed the model to pose a specific way, and then the photographers would walk around trying to get the perfect shot. Once all of the photo-taking was over then the photographers went and edited all of the photos in the lightroom. I personally adjusted the images to more of a darker feel because I feel that it makes the portraits have more of a professional look.

Photography Motion: IB Dancers On October first the digital photography team went to the Highline with eh IB dancers. The objective for the photographers was to capture the dancers in motion. The photographer photographed the dancers as they moved along the Highline and made different poses, some of which were static and others, which consisted of jumping or spinning in the air. After all of the photos were taken the photographers choose ten of their favorite photos and edited them in a photo editing software called Adobe Lightroom.
