  These are my final pictures for the creeper project. First off they are underexposed, but if I exposed it properly the shadow disappeared. I figure that if I would shoot it later at night I could have been able to expose it properly. I tried doing my pictures from about four-thirtyish to sixish. I had to try many different things with the shadow to get it to look right. The problem behind that was getting my lights in the proper place. The first picture is the final picture I like. The second and third are some of my underexposed images. The final picture is overexposed.

This was my experimentation with the camera at my dad's house. The first picture I like the most becasue it is exposed properly. The second picture I didn't have enough lighting to expose it right without making the ISO so high that it made the picture look grainy. I wish I could have had better lighting, but I used what I had. Also the background in the second picture is horrible. When I got the picture I really didn't focus on the background (a no no) and just got the picture. Now that I look back and reflect on it I see the flaws in it. I realized with these experiments how important the lighting is. Without lighting the pictures look bad because of the ISO. These experiments taught me a lot of the simple little thiongs of photography.

This pictures I took on a rainy day at school. The ISO was set at 400 for all the pictures. All the pictures but the flag were set at 1.8 on the aperture. The flag was shot at 11 on aperture. The shutter speed varies on the picture. I found it seems easier and more fun to shoot pictures on a day it is rainy. It makes setting the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed easier. Also the lighting is so much prettier. The first picture of the rain and the flags are underexposed by about a stop. The plants are exposed right, whichmakes me happy. Taking pictures of the rain hitting the ground was interesting. I find it so cool though how the water hits the ground. The flag pictures I knew I had to get when I saw them blowing in thewind. I know that I could have captured a better image of the flags that would look so much better. Overall I would say the rainy day was good for me.

I was sent out to shoot something. I got some pretty good pictures of a couple of things. The grasshopper pictures are the best to me. I wish however that I could have gotten more pictures of different things. I did find out that I am probably better at nature than people.

This was my failed attempt at my creeper project. The whole lighting was wrong. I don't know what to do to fix it. I learned that setting up the lighting is a difficult job to do. I believe that I need to make my aperture up more, like on 22. Now I have to go back and redo it.

 These are my creeper project practice pictures. I know now that my subject should be ten to fifteen feet off the wall. The creeper also needs more work, because the person didn't work so well. The flash set up was not right at all. Now I know that the flash set up was all wrong. The flash need to be on one side of me and facing two different directions.

Spiderman Project

Aperture-1.8

Shutter Speed-1/250

This project was difficult because my subject did not really want to jump at the wall. In the end though, she finally agreed to do it. The hard part was getting the timing right. The easy thing was getting the lighting right. The shadow was a little harsh for my liking but other than that, I like the picture.

Off Camera Flash

ISO- 100

Aperture- 4.0

Shutter Speed- 1/250

This is the best one from the first location. It is a little overexposed, but other than that it is okay. I wish that it wasn't so bright and unnatural looking.

ISO- 100

Aperture- 3.5

Shutter Speed- 1/250

This is the best one from the second location. Like the first one this one is too bright for my liking. The lighting also looks unnatural. Also I wish half of her face wasn't in the shadow. The wall is too bright also.

ISO- 100

Aperture- 4.5

Shutter Speed- 1/250

This is the best one from the third location.  The door is a little bright and so is the subject. I caught her in action, so it looks just a little weird. Her shirt was the hardest part because her shirt kept being over exposed.

ISO-100

Aperture- 1.8

Shutter Speed- 1/500

This is the split picture at the first location. The split of light is from the the shutter speed. The shutter speed was to fast to catch all the light from the flash. The light was caught halfway. If I slow the shutter speed down all the light would be caught.

This is the bad picture at the first location. Everything about this picture is wrong. Half of her face is in the shadows. It is also a little under exposed. The shirt is exposed right, but everything else is wrong.

Book Cover Recreation

ISO- 3200

Aperture- 1.8

Shutter Speed- 1/100

My recreation of the book cover is not lit like the original. My picture is to bright and the lighting is off. The light in the original is not as bright and harsh. The shadows didn't fall like I wanted to. I tried to get the lighting where it would make the shadows fall right, but I couldn't. It really upset me that the picture is not like the original. In my opinion this is a bad picture. I really wish the picture was better,but it's not. The big differences between the original and mine are the hair is not as neat, and the ear is not showing properly. The flower is also white not pink.

Book Cover

The book cover I am recreating is "My Life as a Traitor." For the background I will use a black sheet. The light source is to the left and up of the girl, it is a larger light source because the shadows aren't super hard. The model will be my mother, who will have to braid her hair and add a pink flower at the end. She will be wearing a blank thick strap tank top. The hard part will be the top of the hair. I will have to put the light where it falls more on the back instead of the top of the head. The top of the head will be dark, almost black. The arm starts to darkens as the light source moves away from the arm . It will be hard, but I think I will be able to accomplish it. 

These are my plans to recreate my photo. The background will be a piece of black fabric, so the only thing I will have to worry about is getting the lighting right to show the highlights and the shadows correctly.
