500 Days Of Justin

Photo by: Ryan Legaspi

In this assignment, we were given the task of re-creating a movie ad. I choose to re-create a 500 Days of Summer ad simply because it is one of my favorite movies. In the original movie ad, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was the featured actor. I used Justin Balas as my model for the ad because he fit Joseph’s physical characteristics. I’m actually surprised that it turned out well, and how close my version was to the original. I wish I could have fixed the smear near his right shoulder.

Play Time

This photo was challenging because my dog kept moving while I was taking the picture. Because of this I had to turn my shutter speed up to avoid any blur. When I went to look at the picture on my computer it turned out underexposed because of my shutter speed. Editing was complicated because his fur was dark and I wanted to really bring out the texture, but the background was pretty light. I enjoyed the challenge of taking this photo and photoshopping it. I think it turned out pretty good!

Grasshopper

Maddison Keaton

In this photograph, I took a picture of a grasshopper hanging on for dear life to a wheat stalk in my backyard. It was a brief opportunity, but I think it turned out great. It was definitely difficult to capture him hanging around before he ultimately hopped away.

Get out the way!

I took this photo for a photo journalism assignment; I thought a football game would be the best time to get an action shot. I like this photo so much because it is in great focus and the lighting was good, I just loved how well it turned out. Hold that line guys.

A View From Below

When I went out, I was looking for objects I can take at a unique angle. I came across this yellow flower that was in a grass lawn full of weeds, as if it didn’t belong there. To capture the flower at a unique angle, I laid on the grass and pointed the camera upwards towards the sky. One thing I would do differently is shoot the photograph where the house would stay out of the picture.

A Frozen Drip

Photo by Kaia Jerome

In this photo, I attempted to stop the action of dripping sap from a tree. It may seem a little gross, but its nature! It’s different compared to what I usually photograph, but the subject is unique and rarely seen, so I’m really glad I captured it in this photo.

Justin Balas V.S. Adam Levine

For our photoshop project, I attempted to make my friend Justin be the other Adam Levine. He and Adam had the same facial features and it worked really well. I was trying to match the lighting with the original photo but the lighting I took of Justin’s face was slightly brighter than Adam’s photo. I really love how both of their jaw lines are very similar, even they’re facial hair match up. I wish I could’ve matched the lighting perfectly with the original but I’m proud of what I made out of it.

Jackie Han – Rush Hour

Photo by: Brandon Han

This photo was developed from one of my life goals to scream with Chris Tucker and my love for the Rush Hours series. Additionally, I believe Jackie Chan is a really great actor and taking his face would be such an honor. So I took this Photoshop lesson as an opportunity to complete a life goal. I had to lessen the opacity of the eraser to about 25 percent to blend my forehead with Jackie’s forehead. Also, I had to darken my skin to a golden yellow skin color to match his. Lastly, I just had to rotate my face a little to match my face with his head, which turned out quite well in my opinion.

Sweet Kisses

Photo by: Thalia Chavez

We had an assignment that we had to work with different techniques such as fill the frame, rule of thirds, small depth of field, frame the subject, ECT. I chose to do this photo because a regular picture of a couple kissing would have been boring, so I decided to get up close and personal with my friends to catch that kiss he laid upon her cheek. It was a little awkward form them because I had to put the camera right in their faces to get this picture.

Catch that ball!!

Sidnee Lee

This picture is representing our school. This was the King of the Hill game at Sparks Stadium. I chose this photo, because I loved how I captured the action. I took this photo for an assignment called photo journalism. We had to capture the action of a sporting event at our school.

Fired Up!

Photo By: Oscar Campos-Morales

In this photo I got the Varsity Football Team starting the game. Scott Snyder number 19 and Kayce Doti number 11 rip up the “Lets get fired up” poster the Cheerleaders made for the team before the game time. I choose this picture because it brings more or stopped motion.

Going in Circles

Photo by: Kelsey Nore

I took this photo for my photo skills review when I went to the fair with my family. I’ve always been mesmerized by the swing ride, I like how antique-like it looks. My favorite part about the photo is the people since its candid. They’re all doing something different, it shows personality, making this photo feel more real. I think it captures the fun, whimsical aspect of the fair.

Dark HAIR Memory

Photo by: Justin Balas

In this photo, I was capturing the essence of a dark and mysterious message. The word “HAIR” came from the song that was playing in the car at the time: Hair - Lady Gaga. The car windows were foggy inside and my friend and I were driving back from Tacoma. I wrote “HAIR” on the window, and waited for some sort of light source to illuminate the scene. I seized my moment as a car drove past, and I was fascinated with the look and feel of the photo.

Resting Place

Photo by: Heather Greenwood

I had the perfect opportunity to take stop-action pictures of birds flying within their coop, but before the birds became disrupted by my presence, I got the chance to capture the peaceful nature of the doves. First I took this with the intent of using rule of thirds, but I ended up executing it wrong by putting it in a horizontal format. The picture had too much “dead space” of blank wood. I cropped it into a vertical format, still trying to capture rule of thirds, and it looked a lot better. I love how the colors are all alike and very gentle, adding to the atmosphere of calm. I also like the way the dove’s whiteness stands out and draws attention to the subject; it also keeps the photo “alive”.

Ride With Me

Photo by: Hannah Whitehead

While taking this picture I tried to get Courtney Johnston in main focus while the background was blurred out. It was a Panning project in photography. The first thing that popped in my mind was someone long boarding. I absolutely love how this picture turned out, especially how nice of weather we had while doing this little photo shoot.

Fill The Frame

Photo by: Morgan Griffin

In this photo I attempted to do a fill the frame, I also was trying to catch the unique look of this flower and how it look. At first I had the iso set to the wrong setting and the picture came out way too dark. I choose to do this photo because I’ve never seen a flower like this before and I thought it was really pretty.

No Title Provided

Ashley Wildman

When I was taking the photo I really enjoyed the way the moss was growing on the rocks and how the puddle looks like a pound and how the flowers really bring out the color of the water over all I just really love this picture.
