Need for Speed

Photo by: Amber V

I took this photo during my night time photography assignment which I really enjoyed. I was on the way to the Y and decided to try some night photography while driving. I used a tripod and sat in the back seat of the car. Even though I had the tripod it was still a challenge to try my best to capture the inner part of the car in focus. I used a 13 second shudder speed for this picture and an ISO of 250. I personally really like this picture and the neon lights. Even though the dash and stereo aren’t in the greatest focus but I believe it looks good for being in a moving car with a slower shudder speed. The only thing I do not like about this picture is that the drivers hand is very blurry. I think it would have made the picture look even better if the hand was in more focus.

I took this picture after we had the big wind storm. I was standing on the tree trunk and took a shot of the slit tree that fell across the road. I liked this picture because I got a good shot of both pieces of the trunk and the splitting affect of the tree.

I thought the blue food coloring would look really good against the red table cloth. I think it worked better then I had expected. The cloth behind had gotten wet by previous splashes so I edited out the wet marks using the clone tool in Photoshop. I’m happy with the final product.

This was part of my “Night Theme” assignment. I took this car out to a few places to take some pictures, and at one point decided to start taking pictures of the car itself. This is the picture I’m most proud of, and I really like the angle that I took it at. My aim was to make it look like one of those photos you might find in a car magazine, and I think I did a pretty good job of it. I used a slow shutter speed and a small aperture. In case anyone is wondering, I did use Photoshop to remove the license plate.

A Deer in Headlights

This was an outcome for my Night assignment. In our yard my dad has these deer and I thought it would be great to experiment with it. I took another one with the shutter speed longer and it made it much too bright. I thought this one was perfect because the bushes are also in focus as well as the non-moving lights on the deer. I had the shutter speed about eight or so seconds. It really turned out how I planned for it to and I really love this picture.
