Photo Assignment Number 1

I have the wonderful opportunity to be in a photography class here at BYU. It is just the Intro to Photography but luckily I'm learning a lot of the technicalities of photography and I am building up my portfolio for November. Woot.
Well this past week we had the assignment to shoot 4 different photos of specific technical effects. Shallow Depth of Field, Deep Depth of Field, Short Shutter Speed, and Long Shutter Speed.
Here are the photos that I turned in for class.
Shallow Depth of Field
There are some sculptures over here by the Museum of Art and they seemed like a nice subject. I loved the sprinkler heads!
Long Depth of Field
This is the Tanner Building. It is really big and I really like the architecture so it was cool to shoot.
Short Shutter Speed
Piso Mojado, a fantastic a capella group, were having a small concert and I tried to catch some still motion in this photo. I think it worked pretty well.
Long Shutter Speed
I think this photo turned out pretty well. I was able to catch a lot of motions. This was the photo that was critiqued in my class and I got some pretty good comments on it and some great constructive criticism.

Altogether I think that it turned out to be a pretty good shoot. But I think that I could have done a lot better. Just because they seem like I was just trying to figure out the assignment. I didn't really put too much artistic thought into the photos.
Well I'm gonna keep trying. I also just completed my second assignment. It has to do with abstraction in photos.
I'll be posting them later!
Still trying to figure out how to do some shoots!

  2. So I didn't know there were so many technicalities to photography. It's like a foreign language to me. I barely know how to work my old antique olympus digital camera lol. I'm so glad to hear you are building your portfolio. You've got a good, artistic eye. Can't wait to see more of your stuff spencer! :)
