DOF Reflection

For this photoshoot I went to a local nature trail off of Hauge Rd. My mom and I had been wanting to explore this new place we discovered but hadn't had the time to go. When I learned we had a new photoshoot I knew this place would be the perfect place to go shoot. There were so many interesting things to take pictures of. I tried my best to remember to use the rules of composition, including not centering and get close. I also tried to use color contrast and avoiding distractions. I loved how I was able explore a new place and take pictures of at the same time. I liked how people could see what I was seeing without having to go back into the woods themselves.

I thought this photoshoot was some what challenging. At first it was hard to figure out how to work the aperture settings on my camera. My practice images may have turned out really bad but I feel I got the hang of it more as the shoot went along. I probably would have started my photoshoot earlier if i knew how challenging it was before I started so I didn't feel as rushed.

Photography in the future

In the future I see us being able to take pictures with some kind of everyday device, such as glasses, or even our eyes and be able to share it right away. Since everyone would be able to take photos it would be hard to express yourself and get to the level of "fine art"; but, since we are able to take pictures in the moment, we could show people what it's like to live in our lives. For example, if I'm hiking up a mountain and wanted to take a picture of the scenery, I could show someone exactly what I'm seeing in the moment of seeing it.

color photoshoot reflection

I think this past photoshoot was my best so far. I'm not gonna lie, I was a little nervous when first discovering I had the color yellow. I was not sure what I could take pictures of and how I was gonna do it. I had my mom help me and we thought it would be a good idea to go through some of the antique shops in downtown Noblesville. The morning I went to do it, it was like yellow things were placed there just for me to photograph. I never noticed all the yellow in things until I did this photoshoot. Yellow is now one of my favorite colors!

philosophy

The purpose of a camera in my opinion is to capture memories in the moment. Often when I find myself scrolling through my camera roll in my phone, I find myself smiling remembering all the moments of when certain pictures were taken. I know many people say to live in the moment; but, when we are 90 years old are and can barely remember to brush our teeth in the morning, how are we supposed to remember the little memories we had with our friends when we were teenagers?
