Multiple Exposures


These two multiple exposures are of the same subjects, with different means of fusion. The top picture used a "lighten" mask, and the bottom used a "darken" mask.

This is a multiple exposure of several kinds of M&M's in a convenient store.

This is a multiple exposure of several shots of a flock of pigeons on the same square. It gives the appearance of a much larger flock.

This is a multiple exposure of several panning shots of a girl on a swing set.

This is a multiple exposure of girls on a hill framed through a traffic cone, and a decorated Easter egg.

This is a photo of a child with balloons screened over a picture of the Hawthorne bridge.


These photos are both HDR's of a landscape that would otherwise be impossible to capture with a single photo.

This is a panorama of the Senior boys' bathroom at Lincoln High School.

Inspiration Magazine Cover

My magazine is a food magazine titled, "Over Easy." It is about simple and easy cooking. The title of my article is "One-Dish Wonders" and it covers a variety of globally-inspired dishes prepared and served in a single pot or pan.

Depth of Field

This is a picture of a textbook in class. I used a shallow depth of field and edited it by increasing contrast and lowering exposure.

This is a photo of a guitar pick on a wooden post. I used a shallow depth of field so the background would be unclear and the focus would be on the pick.

This is a picture of a tree by Washington Park. I also used a shallower depth of field.

Motion

Panning: To get this shot I used a relatively fast shutter speed and followed my subject with my camera as I took it. I think it is strong because it shows a clear subject with a moving background.

Freeze Action: To get this shot I used a faster shutter speed and lower aperture. I think it shows freeze action because the fast-moving fire is distinctly captured.

Slow Motion: To get this shot I used a 6-second long shutter speed and held the camera very still. I think it is strong because it shows multiple blurry paths of motion.

Total Motion: To get this shot I used a very slow shutter speed. I think it is strong because it shows an interesting use of total motion and light.

3 Photos by Irving Penn



These are three photos by the famous twentieth century photographer Irving Penn. I really like Penn and his portrait works because of his ability to capture the essence and stature of a person through photography with such mastery.

Three Best Photos from 1st Quarter

This is a photo I took of an old abandoned truck and boat on some property behind my brother's school.

This is a close up of my friend's face from the side.

This is a photo I took of a jar of colored pencils while doing homework. I held my math homework behind it for the background.
