Final Exam

4) The Photo that changed the was I view photography is this one

It changed the way I view photography because it taught be to look everywhere and at anything. I learned that even seemingly boring things like a crack in the ground can be a really cool picture if you just use a little imagination. I also prefer taking pictures of objects more than of people, so this photo kind of proved to me that I can take really cool pictures and that I don't need to have a person in the picture.

5) Shape is different than form because it is only 2 dimensional. It can have length and width, but it has no depth to is. Form on the other hand is 3 dimensional. It has length, width, and depth to it.

6) Pattern is the simple repeating of an object throughout the picture. it could be multiple trianlges in a picture all just sitting there. Repetition may also have multiple similar objects, but they work together to make the photo look active. Repetition helps to create unity in a picture.

I think the second most recent project was my best, it's the one with all the sideways/inverted pictures. This is my best work because all the pictures in the project are unique, with a unifying element, and all skillfully incorporate the elements of art and principles of design. Doing this project really made me think differently than I had for any other project. Usually I could just look around for something that looks cool and take a picture of it, but for this project I really had to think an plan a lot before I could start shooting. I learned that what you envision may not always be possible, and that you will have to change your plans to accommodate that. Like I said above, I had to plan, and that includes where and how to shoot the pictures. I had to completely invert the my mind and look at a place upside down or sideways to see if it looks like a good place. Now that it is over I will always be looking for places that would work well for inverted photos.

Final Project Photo Shoot Idea List

Similar photos to this one. I'm thinking of going to cool places and have chairs and maybe tables set up like someone would be sitting there, but they're not.

List
1) Located at the creek by mission high school. On the side closer to Palm were there is actually water. Taken after school and using one of those portable camping chairs.

2) Located in my backyard. Two fancy metal chairs and a metal table will be set up near the rose bushes. I have one of those film nior style street lights there so it will shine down. Maybe have a candle on the table. It will be taken at nighttime using a tripod.

3) Located on this path in my neighborhood that goes by some redwood trees. Might use camping chair or the metal one, not sure yet. Taken after school.

4) Located at Lake Elizabeth, taken after school or closer to sunset, depending on the lighting. This one will be right on the water. There are benches lining the lake so I might use on of those, or I will bring a chair. I'll probably set it up by a tree cause trees are cool and look good.

5) Located at Old Mission Park taken after school. There is a high part at the park with really tall reed things and it over looks part of a valley and part of the town. I'll place the chair in the middle of the big stalk things and show how it has an awesome view.

6) If 5 doesn't work out for whatever reason I have two other locations in mind. On the corner of Pine and Sabercat, or at the top of Ohlone College.
