Week 6 Photo Composition

Week 6 Assignments

1. Blurred Motion

Caption: Shutter Speed: 1/20; Aperture: f/32.0; ISO: 100; Focal Length: 250.0mm

While my boyfriend surfed, I was able to capture the waves crashing up against the rocks along Pyramid Rock. The blurred motion shows the collectiveness of the water. I think I could have blurred it even more but the waves started to die down after I took this picture.

2. Shallow DOF

Caption: Shutter Speed: 1/1000; Aperture: f/5.6; ISO: 100; Focal Length: 187.0mm

The waves pushed this coconut up onto the shore and I loved how little it was compared to the ocean in the background. I also loved the tire tracks from the lifeguard ATV that had just passed by. The water is perfectly blurred along with the sand behind the coconut.

3. Finding God Shot

Caption: Shutter Speed: 1/60; Aperture: f/4.5; ISO: 100; Focal Length: 30.0mm

What drew you to this scene: I had a glass bowl and filled it with water and placed two plumeria inside it. I really liked the ripples of the water and the tinted effect and the extra shadows I created on Picasa. I love the two flowers together.
What aspect of God’s character does this photo reveal to you: His intricate design. Each flower is similar yet different in a few ways thus showing God's design capabilities.

4. Contest Shot "Fall"

Caption: Shutter Speed: 1/60; Aperture: f/5.6; ISO: 100; Focal Length: 55.0mm

Since Hawaii does not have a distinct "fall" season, I decided to create a look of falling. I really liked these flowers together. I also liked the angle from on top looking down as if the flowers were "falling" down the pole.

Hope you guys like my photos this week :) my favorites have to be my FG shot and my Contest Shot :) :)

love ya guys :)
