Digital Sketchbook #10: Become Invisible 

# data[].attributes.body
At my house, my younger brother,John, is always playing video games. When he is playing video games with his headset on, it is almost like he is blocking out the whole world around him. I thought this would make a perfect, "Become invisible," composition, because he is very occupied in his computer, and I can easily sneak in and take a picture. For this composition , I decided to take the photo from a dog's eye point of view, and from a side angle. This gives the composition more character to it, and gives a perspective that you wouldn't normally see. I edited this photo on my phone, and made the exposure higher, and added contrast.

In Amherst, all of the apple trees are blooming. They look very beautiful, and I thought this would be the perfect subject for my macro Image. For this composition, I found a tree that had low enough branches that I could get close to. I think the colors really enhance this image, and make it look more appealing. Recently, I got the Iphone 11, and the camera quality really helped with the quality of the photograph.

My plan: I plan to take two compositions, one of the double exposure and one where I colorize an image. My plan for the double exposure, is for my mom to take a picture of me, and i look sad in it, and then have hateful words around my head, to create a message, and than hvae a dark background behind me. My plan for the color, is to take a picture of my white shoes on someone, and then add colors to them, and then have a really dark background to create emphasis.

Is their a final presentation we have to do on this?
Is this the last project?

Digital Sketchbook #8: Blur the boundaries

# data[].attributes.body
In my house, my mom keeps flowers near our window still, and I thought this would create the picture dreamy and blurry boundary. I took this picture on my phone with the portrait mode on. This composition, I wanted to take a picture of a beautiful white flower, so the light in the background would make it seem almost magical, and unreal. With the white, and light in the background, the yellow and orange color of the flower popped. I loved learning more about blurring the boundaries, because it creates so much emphasis , which is very important in photography.

Since this weekend was very warm and nice, my brother and I decided to go skateboarding. We haven't gone in awhile and we though this would be a perfect oppertunity while were in quarentine. I noticed that when my brother was skateboarding , that a picture could make him look frozen in time. In this composition, I wanted to show that even though he was riding fast, you can always get a clear, detailed image. I wanted my brother to be in the middle of the screen so the emphasis was on him and the skateboard. I added a filter on the photo, to make it more pleasing to the eye and lighter. Also, the blue color of the skateboard put attention to the fact he is skateboarding.

Over the weekend, I was helping my brother put up his football posters. I realized that along with his stickers, and the football posters, you could tell that he loved playing sports. This says about his identity that he likes football, skiing, the Red Sox, and sailing, without him even being in the composition. When editing this, I added a blue filter, to make the posters look darker in the background against the light wall in the front.

In my house, the door in the front get's the most light . Every single day, when it's sunny  it creates a really cool shadow. As shown in this composition, the light is coming through the window and creating "blocks" of light. I also set it at an angle, so you can perfectly see each "block of light". When I edited this picture, I put the background  much darker than the light so it creates contrast.

On Saturday, I went to my Grandparents house for her birthday, 6 feet apart:) At her house, I took many pictures of parts of the building that looked like abstract imagery. This composition, I decided to take the picture at an angle, so only half of the trellis was showing. Also, I thought this picture was abstract because of the different linear lines which added to the affect.

I really liked the dog eyed view photo, this photo showed a new perspective. This perspective you don't really see which makes it unique.

i really like this picture because of the way she stands out against the wall. i also like the way the edges look as if they are blurred. it also helps that she's wearing such a dark color.

Nice COLOR! Great perspective too! It makes the chair look huge. My only suggestion would be to have moved the chair a tiny bit to the right as that little dark area in the upper left corner is distracting. Nice work!

This weekend I played soccer and lacrosse in my backyard. When I was in my yard, I noticed bright red chairs that my mom just put out for the spring/summer. For this composition, the bright red chair immediately attracted my eye and I decided to put the chair in front of a white background to emphasize the bright color of the chair.  Also, I took the picture at an angle, so the chair looked
proportionately bigger.

So glad you are getting out for some walks in the woods! Try cropping this image to get a little closer and emphasize the letter "T".

Digital Sketchbook #2: See things differently

Over vacation, I went on many hiking trips. On this one hiking trip I took, I saw hundreds of letters and faces that were just from nature. For this composition, I saw the letter T from one tree that had fallen over and the other tree was holding it from one single branch. I thought this was very interesting because the fallen over tree makes your eye look from one side all the way across to the other. It shows movement. Both of these tree's show what it means to see things differently, and how each person has many different perspectives on what they are seeing.

Yes! Love the bright FOCAL point (not vocal :) ). There is a little bit of a wash out in the upper right hand corner. Perhaps doing a bit of editing in an app could help disguise that (decreasing your exposure, increasing contrast, and adding a bit of texture).

I am looking forward to seeing how your work evolves this term!

For this composition, I decided to have the bright yellow line be the vocal point. I intended for the reader's eye to go down the line, which also makes you focus on the tires of the jeep. For a dog's eye point of perspective, I put my phone the ground and took many photos at different angles and I felt this composition really reflected what a dog's eye view is.

One of my favorite photographers is Ansel Adams because he shows the beauty of nature through every angle and composition. He uses contrast to emphasis certain details in his compositions. For example, in the picture below the river is white and the snow on the top of the mountain is white and the rest of the composition is black. This gives an emphasis on the river and the snow on the mountain to direct the readers eye to this.

This photograph by Ansel Adams captures a glistening moment at one of the United States's most known natural environment, Snake River. Snake River is a vast landmark that includes many elements. This consists of huge mountains, various trees, hills, valleys, and the most important one, the windy river. Adams' photograph is an original and commonly seen as many things. To some, it may seem as just a natural scene of the world and to others, it may show something more ominous because of the layout, scale, and value it portrays. The first eye-drawing element of the picture is the mountains. They have a dark and light value because of the snow that is on top of the mountains, which makes it lighter, and the base rocks of the mountain, which adds darkness to the photograph. Another key element to Ansel Adams' picture is the simplicity of the river. It has tiny divots, creating waves and trickles, and continues to spread throughout the majority of the picture. The river itself possesses a light and intellectual presence in between the two sets of forests. The forest on the left of the river has darker value than that of the right. However, the right continues to hold a lighter grey value on the scale of darkness. The whole picture, in general, leaves viewers in awe, despite the dark effects it holds. Adams continually uses this certain position to show viewers a clear image of the famous and memorable landscape. His placement of the camera thoroughly shows the vastness of the mountains, the clearness of the river, and the openness Snake River has on the world.

Ansel Adams is caught taking his amazing masterpieces.

Ansel Adams is a known photographer by many and is clearly known for his black and white pictures of Yosemite Natural Park, his work with the Sierra Club and other gorgeous monuments in the United States. Adams was born in San Francisco, California, in 1902. His love for natural beauty came from the time he spent observing nature beyond the sand dunes of the Golden Gate Bridge. He spent endless hours and days watching the wind patterns and cloud movement, which evolved into knowing he needed to capture a certain moment. Adams would bring his camera with him to his designated spot and start his incredible work. This included waiting four hours or more for the lighting absolutely perfect. Through his hardwork and dedication, Ansel Adams earned himself the Conservation Service Award. This outstanding accomplishment is given to a photographer, artist, interpreter and conservationist for recognition of many years of distinguished work in a role that efforts have been a profound importance in conservation of great natural resources (Sierra Club). Adams' work gave viewers not just a pleasing view of nature, but also a call to humanity to cherish what they have been, nature. In his many years of photography, he faced challenges and criticism from viewers because he did not include humans in his work. Some say he was creating a world that no longer existed through his images, but this did not stop him from creating masterpieces. Even though his time has ended, his photographs continue to inspire young people and adults, and the conservationists that aid in conserving the beauty nature possesses on the world.

Art is original. Art is unique. Art is what a person believes what it is. People have different views of art because I think art is what one thinks it is. It goes along the same lines as beauty. Beauty and art posses the rush of emotions, feelings, and senses. This can affect a person by making them sad or happy, laugh or cry, or simply bring a smile to their face. However, art has the emotional power to show good or it can also show evil. The photograph of Snake River by Ansel Adams portrays both sides of the spectrum. The lighting shows darkness which gives me a uneasy feeling of emotions. I feel like it is an evil scenery that is concluding something bad is about to occur within nature. This could be a huge thunderstorm or it could be possessing something deeper. Either way, it is up to the viewer to decide what he or she sees. Another person might think it is pleasing to see the clouds clash with the mountains. It could possess a sense of calmness or safety. I really cherish this picture, now having to analyze it. I agree that is very important to photograph the things that mean most to us. In Ansel Adams' perspective, nature is important. We need to respect it, care for it, and preserve it. This picture possess true and natural beauty, which is not always seen in today's time. Most things are fake and posed, which it not what I believe beauty it. Beauty is nature and beauty is unique. Beauty is one of a kind.

Hi! My name is Sophie Brown and this is my first year at Derryfield. I chose photography because my mom loves photography and she is always taking photos and I want to learn more about cameras and photography so I can also take photos with her. I love photography because there is so many ways you can express yourself in each photo. Besides photography, I love playing soccer, tennis, skiing and running. I have played tennis for five years and I am doing it this year for the Derryfield team.
