journal notes pgs. 27 - 35

LINE - this is a picture that i took for a photography assignment. we were to take pictures of lines, so while i was waiting after a calculus test i decided to take a picture of my pen, which is a line. i used the macro setting on my camera and got as close as i could to the pen as possible at this angle, blurring the background.

SHAPE & FORM - i took this picture while i was out eating dinner with my family. my cousins boyfriend is a photographer and was giving me some pointers and i decided to test them out. i got as close as possible where i can get the objects in focus and used the flash to get the shape of the salt & pepper shackers.

COLOR - this is a picture that i took for our photo quiz. i thought the light was hitting the flower and leaves perfect so i had to take a picture of it. i used the color accent setting to make everything black and white except for the light purple flower.

PRIMARY &SECONDARY COLORS - i also took this picture for our photo quiz but chose not to turn it in because i liked the picture above for color better. i think it's a good example of primary & secondary colors because you can see that the pink/red color inthe primary color & the greens that are blurred in the background are the secondary colors.

VALUE -during my day long photography session with my cousin's boyfriend, he taught me how to measure the light from the outside and from the inside and make them balance. when i took the picture focusing on thre window, everything in the car was very dark, and when i focused on the inside the window was over exposed. so, i used a small aperture so more of the shot was focused and metered the light from the window and focused on the dashboard and got a perfect shot. this picture was originally black and white, i did not photoshop it.

SPACE - in this picture, the object is the positive spane and the black background is the negative space. i used my big lense and stood about 5 feet away where i could get the object in focus and a little bit of the texture of the background and used my flash to get the reflection of the object.

TEXTURE - i took this picture for our photo quiz. i loved how the lighting was in this area and immediately thought of taking a picture of the texture of the leaves.

PATTERN - i also took this picture for our photo quiz. it was originally supposed to be of the texture of the brick wall but i decided to use it for pattern instead. i used the macro setting to get the texture of the brick.
