M go Blue

For this assignment i walked around the University of Michigan campus and took pictures of all michigan stuff. This was an open assignment and i chose to do a michigan theme. I walked around campus and took pictures of anything i saw having to do with michigan. I went in to the student union and took pictures in there and went to different michigan sport fields. I chose this picture for my best one because i has the opening gate, and then the field and score board in the back and i think it looks cool how it has both.

Portrait

For this assignment i chose to do portrait. In this picture is my little brother Anthony.  He was sitting on the couch watching TV.

Portrait Assignment

For this assignment we learned how to take portraits of people. On the left is a window portrait and on the right is a studio portrait. For the window portrait i learned that you have to stand away from the wall where the light is coming in, and hold a white place card up by the person you are taking a picture of face. Its all natural light for the window portrait. For the studio portrait i learned that you have to use a three light system, two lights are out in front on the sides and then there is a hair light up over top of the person. The studio portrait is using lights not natural light.

Animal Assignment

For this assignment i did animals. In this picture is my dog molly,she is a minture pinture mix.
