Spiderman

ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 250
Aperture: 1.8
This photograph is taken of Misty Morris outside the ISS building. I took this photograph of her as she jumped on to the wall, turning around as she came down. The hardest thing about getting this photograph was having Misty turned around facing the camera as she jumped onto the wall so I could get a picture of her posing for the camera.

Recreated Book Cover


 
ISO- 800
Aperture- 13
Shutter Speed- 1/13
My recreation of the book cover is not like the original, but somewhat close. The background is not as smooth as it should have been, and there is no exact reflection in the drink. The lighting was not exactly correct, I did the best I could to get everything set up right with the equipment I have at my house. I used two lights to take this picture, one to illuminate the wall to a lighter blue, and one to hold over the cup to help me create the shadow. I took several photos and decided this was the best one out of all of the photographs.

Wireless Flash



 I took these pictures of Misty Morris and Tyler Beene at Texas High school. The first picture is of Misty Morris standing outside the library across the girls bathroom. The ISO was set to 100, the shutter speed was set to 250, and the aperture was set to 4.0. The second picture is of Tyler Beene, standing outside of the ISS building, in this picture half of the image is lit up while the other half is darker. How I was able to create an image like this is similar to the settings on the first image. Although, my ISO was still at 100, I had to re-adjust the aperture to 1.8 and the shutter speed to 1/500. The last image is of Misty Morris behind the library. This particular picture was slightly overexposed, in order to fix this image I would need to adjust the aperture.

Recreating Book Cover Planning



In order for me to recreate this book cover I will have to find a smooth round cup, substitute the alcohol with apple juice, and find a lamp that I can get someone to hold over the glass. I will have someone in my neighborhood come over and hold the lamp above the glass, more towards the left, so the shadows are almost exact. I would try my best to get a similar background of the blue shade, but I might have to tweak the photograph and use a white background instead. I will need to adjust the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed on my camera until I am able to get the correct settings for the picture to come out right. I feel getting a photograph to look similar to the book cover, not only in appearance but also in the shadowing, will be a challenge but I will try my best to accomplish this task.
I believe the hardest part of recreating this picture would be getting the light source in the right position with the right lighting.

Recreation

I took this picture in the cafeteria courtyard of Kendall Link during second lunch. I saw a similar picture on flicker and wanted to recreate it. As Kendall held my phone stretched out like she was going to take a selfie, I adjusted my settings and made my lens focus on the phone so it would blur everything behind it out.

I took these pictures in front of the math and science building. I shot with all the apertures and adjusted my shutter speed.
