For the framing section, I took two pictures. The picture up above was taken outside my window from my living room. The lining from my window creates the framing around the tree. The photo to the left was taken through my sunglasses near the spillway in Coralville. The glasses had a color tint in the lense making the sky have a pink tone and the snow having a blue tone.

For my shutter speed pictures, I focused on the motion of objects. The picture to the right is a picture from my shower running water. The picture above is a picture of me spinning around and my hair is moving. The last picture to the left is of me throwing snow into the air.

Aperture
2 FEBRUARY 2014
I choose three photos for the aperture. The first photo to the left is a picture of a tree by my house. In the picture my camera focused on the tree and made the background blurry. The photo to the right is a picture of another tree, but this time the back ground is clear and the tree is blurry. The picture below is a picture of bubbles in my bathtub with a blurry background but a clear subject.

Portraiture For portraiture, I took two photos of my friend Madi Barta 18’. The picture above is of her bluegreen eye. It really shows the detail of her eye. The picture to the left is a picture of her flipping her hair. This picture is also an example of shutterspeed. FEBRUARY 2015 3
Lines
For lines I took two pictures. The picture above is a picture of my carpet. Thispicture was taken inside my living room. The lines created on the ground are made by the sun shiining through the windowe blinds. The left picture is taken at West High and the lines are created by the brick columns here in the commons.
For my light pictures, I chose three. The picture above is a picture of my friend Madi Barta 18’ jumping outside at West High. The sun casts a shadow on the ground. The pictures to the right were taken at a birthday party I was at. What we did was tkae our flashlights and made a pattern back and forth several times to create the picture.

perspective For perspective, I took all three pictures in my local neighborhood. The picture above was taken in my yard. I layed in the snow and took the picture from a worm’s-eye-view. The picture to the right was taken at my house. I stood on my slippery mailbox and took a picture of the unique design in the street. The big picture to the right was taken in my yard also and for this one i did a worm’s eye view again and sat on the ground and took a picture above of the branches on this tree. 2 FEBRUARY 2015

For free form i was sitting in the car and i looked out the window and saw how beautiful the sky was. The picture above was taken of a tree in my front yeard. The shadow on the tree makes it look cool with the sky in the back. The picture to the right was taken near my house. It was cool becuase it shows the sillouwet of the buildings and the sunset in the background.
Free Form: Nature FEBRUARY 2015 3
Free form: Nature For my free form theme, I chose nature. For these two pictures, I took pictures around my house. The picture to the right is a picture from birds eye view of my footprints in the snow. The picture below is a motion shot of me driving past a tree.
