Shepherd Fire Photo Assignment
Tuesday March 10th at 4:30 pm on the 200 block of West Wright Avenue in Shepherd a fire took down 19th century buildings such as Shepherd Argus and Grim Printing, and spread to other businesses in the block, including the laundromat and Baskets By Hand. The people who were affected by this fire was the business owners and residents of the apartment buildings. Resident Aaron Fent, 26, a Central Michigan University student, was in his second floor apartment in the building housing a laundromat when he saw that smoke was engulfing inside of the building. All he had was inside the building, even the keys to his car. It was a big deal for everyone including the small town residents. The building that burnt down were a special landmark to Shepherd and showed the importance of the little town. When one thing happened to another in this small town the whole community comes together to support them. I think that my article is showing hope for the community and that Nobody will go without. There is a whole bunch of love in the community to go around. |

This is a collection of my first ten photos taken through my world and what I found cool. Through out my slideshow are summaries on my favorite four photos and why I likes them best.
Bullet- When i was taking this photograph i wanted to try to get the perfect lighting on just the top of the shell. I think that the balance of lighting in my pictures stuck out really well. I think that how the lighting hits the writing on the shell makes this one of my top 4. Bubble- When i was taking this photograph i wanted to try to get a still picture of a moving object. I think that the one bubble in the middle really sticks out and gives the photo character. This is one of my top 4 because i like how it shows every little detail in the bubble and surrounding water. Converse- This is one of my top 4 photos because its something i love (shoes). I think that i have really good composition with this piece because i have the rule of thirds, nice lines and shading. When i was taking this photograph i was trying to achieve a nice shadow effect along with your eyes being dragged to one place. Boots- This is one of my top 4 because i really like the lighting of the back ground and ground. I took this picture because i like the outdoors and i like my boots so i put the two together. This photo has really nice composition with the color as balance. |

Responses.
Light Experiment, Water Speakers . I chose this as my top four because i thought it looked really unique and was something that expressed my interest in music and photography. I believe i was successful at this composition because i caught the water in motion while at the the same time I could incorporate lighting. I think that the many colors incorporated into my picture made it stand out the most. Front lighting, Eye. I chose this as one of my top four because i love how i could catch the light reflecting into the eye and the water building up. I feel like this has a good composition because it shows front lighting and different colors in the eye. I think by having the eye being the only source of actual color it makes my photograph stand out from the others. Back Light Bird. I chose this as my top four because I like how all you see is the silhouette of the bird and all the details around the birds figure. When i took this picture i was going for a picture that would leave the audience imagination to what they think the bird may look like. By having the bird the one and only object in the picture and making it black i feel like it made the picture stand out. Shoes Side Lighting. I chose this as one of my top four photos because i enjoyed how the light brought out the shadows on the shoes and how they make the white on the soles stand out. While taking this picture i was going for a ice black and white photo that still showed side lighting with incorporating something I like...my shoes. I feel like this composition was successful because I incorporated the theme of lighting and shadows and made it all come together with out any distractions in the background that would drag your eye away. |

REFLECTIONS
Converse- When I took this photograph I was thinking how cool it would be to get the two things I love best into one picture...converse and baseball. So I took the idea of only having my shoes show while the game was going on. I think this photograph is very successful because it has a main vocal point as the shows with a nice background. I would categorize this as my top four because I think its a very personal picture and describes me.
Sand Hand- When I took this photograph I was trying to get the effect of the sand slipping through my fingers but instead I got this which is just as cool. I find this picture very successful because it shows a black and white balance through out the photo and a nice depth in the picture. I would categorize this as my top four because it shows what I can do it I just get the right lighting.
Pelican Head- When I took this picture I thought it would be pretty cool to get all of the detail that a pelican has on his head a beak and eyes. I find that I was very successful with this because you can see his different colors and shapes that he has in his beak and feathers. I would categorize this as my top four because it is a very in depth picture that I didn't think I was capable of taking but managed to.
Path - When I took this picture I was trying to get a sun set in the background of a path in the woods. I feel like I was successful at doing this because you have all of these brown and dark colors and then the beautiful orange and red sun peeking through the trees. I would categorize this as my top four because I think that it is a well balanced picture that has beauty and mystery to it.

Environmental Portraits: You are taking photos that explain an environment. The most common photos of this nature are taken with people involved in the picture so you can help describe their environment through art. The main use of environmental photography is to help explain a certain period in time or a certain person’s lifestyle. Most people tense up when you raise the camera to your eye, waiting for the image to be taken. Some may even inadvertently shut their eyes, expecting a flash. If you can use Live View on your camera, you can get it away from your face. Try to go as minimal as possible with gear for environmental portraits, using the natural light at the location.
Street Portraits: Street photography often tends to be ironic and can be distanced from its subject matter, and often concentrates on a single human moment, caught at a decisive or poignant moment. Some Tips are ditch the zoom and use a wide-angle prime, Ask for permission, tell a story. Formal Portraits: These are usually considered “snapshots”. What we all like about good snapshots is that they remind us of stories. Some tips are make sure subject is ready, is the lighting giving the best outcome? Candid or Informal Portraits: Uses a lot if motion to capture a still shot. Some tips are to Take your Camera Everywhere, Use a Long Zoom and Kill the Flash. |

I chose Ansel Adams as an inspiring photographer because I liked how he incorporated Black and White in almost all of his photos accompanied by a different view on portraits.
I like Adams picture way better because it has more feelings to it and is not as bland as the second photo. He has careful with lighting and the edges and color depth. |
Personal Photo critique
This photo has very nice composition. It has lighting coming from the ground and from with left which draws your eye to the middle. I feel like the photographer was looking for emotion in a photo along with the natural heritage of these people and there life style. If i took this photo myself i think i would have changed the point of view to a lower position. I think by doing this i could get the emotions of the people in the photo better and more details.
This photo has to have a pretty fast shutter speed in order to capture the water dropping. Also this picture is an example of High lighting out side. Also this photo has a very small apature to be able to see the mountian.
