Final Project

This is a picture of a tree with a strange light source shining on the left of it. The tree is pretty imposing and dark. This night shot was probably one of the scariest ones. I'm not saying it's scary but I am saying that night is thought of as scary by young people. This picture reminds me of the u2 song Shadows and Tall Trees.

This picture was taken of a lamp in a church parking lot. I was in the car when I took this picture. To me this picture looks like a UFO that is sucking something up.

This is a picture of a cloud with some sort of lighting in the back
I don't really know where the light came from but it worked out really well.The way it sticks out from the bottom of the picture is really cool to me. I also like the small stars at the top of the picture

This picture has awesome ligthting. It looks like the mountains are radiating light from behind. This picture has such awesome contrast whtih the dark clouds in the bright sky and the sky itself transitioning from brighter to darker.

This is a picture of a car backing out of its driveway. The way the light shines on the fence in front of the car, and the way the car moves downward in an ark while everything around it stays still.

This picture is of the side of a house across the street. Its paint is pealing away so that it gives a spotting affect to the side of the house that is being lit up. There is also an abandoned van on the right. You can see the fence through the windows.

In this picture I shot a cinderblock wall. The post in the wall is being lit up by me. I am using a flashlight in order to light up certain places on the wall. The places I lit up were places that were in shadow normally during the daytime.

I like this picture because it looks like tatooine. The way the towers stick up and the clouds look kind of like a desert. I also like the shadow of the mountain and the way the light is almost completely gone out of the sky. It creates a dramatic silhouette of the bold mountains.

This picture was taken in the rain. I was shooting that night while holding an umbrella above me and the camera. This picture has a great light source from the porch light of the house behind the fence. I love the way the rain looks like thin streaks of light and how the same light shape is shown in the rain and on the ground.

This picture was taken at around 9:30 p.m. This picture was pretty awesome with the plane having faint streaks where its wings are.The moon finally showed up on the last weekend of shooting. I am very angry that I never got a chance to shoot a full moon. I also like the bright planet in the sky. I don't know which one it is but it's a pretty bright one none the less.

this is a picture of me holding a flashlight. I traced an outline of myself and then shined the light at the camera for the last 2 seconds or so. I really like the way the light is coming from between the head and heart. That's awesome symbolism. I think the way the body is outlined adds extra feeling to the picture.

This is a picture of fireworks. I took this picture while I was on my roof. I really didn't expect there to be fireworks. The fireworks were a very happy accident. This one looks like a tree and the awesome part is that it's next to another tree which is completely dark.

Final Project Proposal

For my final project I will shoot night. I know Neil Sahasrabudhe already did night, but his pictures were not of light in the dark. I want my pictures to be of lights in the dark. The dark is a cool place and to see beacons of light in the dark is a really awesome thing. The Moon is a great producer of light. The lighting produced by the moon at different times of the month is something I am very interested in. I know it will be very difficult because it doesn't get dark until very late but I can shoot on the weekends. I also want to try to get the skyline from different houses in Utah at night. I can shoot from TK's house or my house. I also want to try to get my parents to let me on the rooftop in order to shoot Salt Lake or the valley skyline. I also will be able to shoot the mine and all its lights, if I can get on the rooftop.

Assignment #8 Redo

I used the light from the same place as when I shot numbers. That light was pretty awesome. The can opener was really cool. The reflection off of the metal was pretty cool.I like the small white circle on the vcr tape. The knife worked because it reflected the dark of the background in the metal part which otherwise probably would have been to light.

Johnson Assignment #7 numbers

This number takes some explanation. Albert Pujols is number five. Ozzie Smith is number 1. So when you put number one in front of number 5; you get 15

This assignment was difficult to start out. I couldn't think of what to do and my days were so busy. Finally I got home and the light through my kitchen window was awesome. I took almost all of the pictures in the spot with the window light. I tried to match some of the pictures to a sort of theme. I used cooking magazines for 50,25,and 30. The magazines had such good light on them you can see all of the dust they had on them.In the end I really liked this assignment because it gave me an opportunity to see where there is good light and make sure I capture it before it is gone.

Assignment 6 Portraits

I Wanted to take portraits of many people but still capture their personality. I really like the ones of my dad, and the one with AJ playing the guitar with his hand blurred. The portraits were hard but when I finally found a large window the project became easier. The self portraits were very difficult but once I got a tripod I was able to do them much easier.
