Period I
Journal #1
1)So far my classes are pretty good i like the way they are set up and i likely schedule. At the beginning of school i didn't really like my classes because my schedule was messed up because of a wrong course placement. i was put into softball at the beginning of the year but i can't play softball the year because i don't have time and then i was placed in a duel credit class and i didn't meet the requirements of the class so i had to change my schedule but then i finally got a good class. I'm a student aide in this class.
​
2)my favorite class has to be a tie between rotc and photography. both of my classes are really fun and cool, but when its time to get work done it gets done. i love how in both classes you can have fun and mess around but at the same time you have to be serious so someone or something won't get hurt or will break something thats expensive.
​
3)building my website wasn't as hard as it was last year because i already know how everything works so it was fairly easy but i'm still trying to figure out new themes for my website it might change here in a while but i don't know yet. the website have changed a little bit not a lot but there are changes that actually helped build the website.
​
4) You told us not to answer.
​
5)the coolest photo i've taken so far is actually a portrait of cassandra. i took the picture and i liked it i used it for the altered portrait project. there're actually a lot of pictures i took of cassandra they are really nice pictures and i like them they are really good pictures theres a few things that could have been done differently but oh well.
​
6) the style of photography I'm into is macro photography and portraits. i like to do macro because i love how there is so much detail when all your simply doing is zooming into the object.
​
7) on labor day weekend i plan on visiting my mom and going out with my friends but I'm really looking forward to going to my mom's house.
Blur Motion Journal
1) Blur motion is when the shutter speed is slowed down and the lens stays open longer and takes a bit longer to close the shutter curtain.
​
2) to create blur motion you will need a camera of course, a shutter release setting that will allow the image to make the blur and you will need a tripod. you will need the tripod because keeping the camera in one place for a long time without moving is harder then it sounds.
​
3) my subject could be someone waving or a someone running by and you mange to catch the image or a girl spinning in a dress. i would also have mt friends from rotc spin their rifles so i can get the blur motion.
​
4) you adjust the command dial so that you can change the shutter speed and the exposure for the blur effect.
​
5)
1) a girl spinning her skirt so that the blur effect goes through the entire photo and the body not just a simple object.
2) it looks like a person who is playing tennis, due to the blur i can't see the gender.
3) its a picture of the stars and how it looks like they are moving but its just the camera.
4)its a picture of the fairs wheel, and the image looks really nice with the lights look like if they are moving really fast.
5) the city veiw, cars driving by in the dark with the lights on.
