Shooting sports was a technical challenge

    I am a sports fan, especially basketball. Having to shoot a sports game was a challenge to me. All i could think of was the technical aspects I was supposed to set on my camera.

I realized while shooting  sports I was supposed to set my camera at a high shutter speed so as to capture the action on time. Setting my shutter speed low could really affect my pictures by being out of focus.
    Also while shooting sports I came across the problem of light. Some stadiums have so many lights that make it hard to have the best exposure. At first my shutter speed was at 100 and aperture was at 3.5 as a result my picture came out really dark, so i decided to bump up my shutter speed to 250 and live my aperture at 3.5 and came out with a good picture.

    I have learned in photography Shutter speed, aperture and ISO  are the main important things to consider before taking a shot.

interesting portraits

    As I am getting close to the end of the semester, I am beginning to get a lot more challenging assignments. Through out my college experience I never thought i could have a class that would really take me out of my comfort zone.
    For this week we had a portrait assignment. According to the class course materials i have learned portraits are memories that involve people in a certain environment.
    A portrait picture can either be posed or candid. For a posed picture you need to let a person or a group of people pose, let them be natural and don't settle for one shot. While taking a candid portrait picture you need to be patient and wait for an interesting moment.
 
In this assignment i was also required to shoot head shots, I learned while shooting head  shots i was supposed to avoid destructing backgrounds, subject should be at an angle,  and to be very careful with the amount of light.

      In this assignment I chose to cover my beet which is criminal justice. I thank Commander Gayle Lohrbach and Commander Mike Wiederman  for helping me be comfortable and take pictures of his class, though sometimes it felt awkward because no one smiled. I had great experience though very challenging, and i will be happy to do this assignment if i am required.
