Grant's Digital Photo

Which is your best image and why? i think my best image was the staircase one because even though there was no motion blur i think the rest of the image came out really good like the lighting and the color balance and the sky color. Which is your lease successful image and why? my least successful image was the one where he was jumping because it cut off the top part of the head and also the motion blur didnt turn out the best. What is one thing you could have done better? one thing i couldve done better was maybe take more pictures in the hopes that one of them turned out well instead of taking a few pictures with a lot of planning behind each one. What would be your ideal action photography subject and why?  my ideal action photography subject would probably be a sports team because they are always moving with practices and games making the perfect opportunities to take action shots. 

 1. Was it easy to get a good shot? Why/why not? (2pts) it was not easy to get a good shot because i could not manage to get the focus right no matter how much i adjusted it.  2. What did you like/not like about shooting water with the flash? (2pts) i didnt like the flash because it highlighted all of the dust on the side of the bowl and stuff, when you dont use flash all you can see is the water fstop: 5.6                shutter speed: 1/200 1. Was it easy to get a good shot? Why/why not? (2pts) it was easier to get a good shot on this one because it was the last photo we did which means that we were kind of warmed up by all the other stations and knew what we were doing by then.  2. What did you like/not like about shooting water without the flash? (2pts) i liked shooting without the flash because it made the bowl and the background look much cleaner overall. fstop: 3.5                 ...

 

 Before pics:  After pics:  Does your image look real, why or why not.  i dont think the image looks real because i think i used a little bit too much blur now that im looking at it, makes it a little bit obvious that they were photoshopped. What was difficult about this process? i dont think anything about this process was very difficult to be completely honest

 This one came out clearer than the others, but i couldve gotten a better angle to capture the subject i think. i dont like how much blur was in this one, but i like that the motion is shown through the blurred part of the image Similar to the last one i like how the blur shows the motion in this picture but i think i also couldve gotten further back to show a picture of the whole scene.
