How my camera sees?

Part 1 of the assignment

For this picture, I used a long focal length.Which means that it is a telephoto lens. Professional photographs use often this kind of lens to do portraits as people will seems have a better appearance with that kind of lens.















For this picture I used a short focal length which means that will give wide angle lens. As you can see, the person  of this picture seems to have a wider more and a deformed face. This is why this lens is not usually used for portraits.












                                    

  Part 2 of the  Assignment


I used shade setting for this picture making the colors nicer as it made a longer exposure.

For this picture, I used tungsten setting which made the picture's color more blue.















Part 3 of the assignment



The colors of the skin of the girl on that picture are prettier because her face takes most of the picture as their is not a lot of space left for the background and for light on the picture. The camera tries to make the picture more clear be by putting the color lighter to make mid-grey as the camera always want to obtain mid-grey.






















Oppositely to the last picture, the camera want to make mid-grey by doing the opposite. As the picture has more light colors the camera will try to make the picture darker in order to obtain mid-grey.

                                                                                               ISO: 800
The two pictures have all the same data but the difference between those two pictures is the speed of the penny. The faster the penny goes, the more blurry the picture will be and the slower the penny goes, the picture will be more clear.

Assignment 2: Self Potrait


In order to transfer my self-potraits up to here, I plugged my camera with a usb cable to the computer. A window with different options popped up and clicked on " upload picture" and waited  until my pictures were uploaded. I opened Picasa to modify some of my pictures and add some effects. I chose the ten best pictures. Then, I went online to edit my photos to my Picasa web album. After, I signed into my blog to put the final result with the procedure.

Assignment 1 : Light Sensitive Material



For the first project, I had to create a light sensitive photo. I had to deal with the photographic paper and the chemicals such as the developer, stopper and fixer. My first test did not come out very clear. The subject of my picture was my necklace, my ring and my finger. It was not the best idea to put my finger in the photo because it was more difficult to  expose the paper. I did not well balance the light on my photographic paper. My exposure was not long enough only approximately 5 seconds. My light source, my smartphone was not bright enough. My team did not agitate the chemical a lot, so the developer was not as active as it should have been which did not allow for a good development. For my second photo, the subject was my digital camera along with the safety cord, designed in the shape of a heart. The picture is not perfect but I'm satisfied of the result. There is a little lack of exposure but it's better than the first one. The contrast between the black and white are more apparent. I exposed the photographic paper 10 seconds instead of 5 minutes and increased the light intensity of my smartphone by changing my wallpaper to something brighter than used in the first.
