Not Very Cool Extra Panorama

I wanted to get a creepy panorama of lit up myselves, but the light wasn't particularly strong, and it turned out pretty lame.

Self Portraits

Despite my expression in most of these photographs, I tend to be exceptionally happy (most of the time), I just don't look like it. In this project I wanted to go against the boring "trying to look happy" portrait, since most parents obsess over having their children look happy in photos. The photo should capture the emotions being felt at that moment, and having to wait around until for someone to set up a photo perfectly tends to put me in a worse mood. I simply wanted to think of how a photo would be set up, but not waste too much time on it. Many of the resulting photos make me look like a teen who is trying to express how "sad" they are to their friends on Facebook, but that doesn't really lower the quality in my eyes, if anything I just feel like I am playing a character. Along with that, I actually decided to play a character, as I realized I had a fedora, and my sister had recently attained a pink wig, and I had a semi-nice dress-ey shirt. This fit the ensemble of one of my characters. [Might add drawing later if I somehow remember to, which is doubtful]

Portraits

These photos were taken of my mother, Susan. They were taken in our living room, mainly since that room had the best lighting, and there was a chair that I thought would be nice for some portraits. The photos were taken between the point where there was a decent amount of light out, to a point where there was little natural light, as an experiment with artificial indoor lighting. 

Cactus Kid

Just a random drawing with the use of a mouse, I like the idea, and it was executed fairly well, I guess.

I Am Error

My attempt at drawing with a mouse instead of a tablet on the day with a substitute, and all of my work completed. It turned out pretty kool, and it started a conversation with Mr. Bonica about retro games.

Web Assignment #5

How would you define beauty in photography?  What are the characteristics of beauty?  How can something ugly be photographed and be considered beautiful? Or can it?  Examples?

Beauty in photography can be defined several ways. Some may feel that it is dependent on the subject of the photo, but most of the time a great composition defines a photo's beauty. A photo captures one moment of time, so most people who watched that moment when it happened obviously didn't see all of the many details. A good photo can show these details, or show someone a viewpoint of something that they may not have looked at before. The characteristics of beauty are hard to define for anyone, and in my opinion everything in the world has beauty to it, if looked at in the right way. Some things look beautiful in a macro form, while others look good taken from faraway. Sometimes bringing certain things together can be beautiful, if these things compliment each other, such as backgrounds, lighting, water, or simply other objects. Things like garbage, mud, or a mangled rat may normally be considered repulsive, but when viewed close up with a good composition and lighting, people can find beauty in anything. Even if things are not ascetically beautiful, there is always the beauty in things provoking thought, or learning from something that may not be pleasing to look at.
