REFLECTION:
I really enjoyed this unit. I especially loved the writing with light pictures. They were fun to do and take pictures of. It was almost like taking a video inside of a picture. I also enjoyed the frozen motion pictures too because it was almost as if I could freeze time and catch a genuine photo that wasn't exactly being posed for. My favorite shot would have to be the writing with light because I think it looks the most professional. I like how the subject is being showcased by the lighten initials. This was probably my favorite unit (or the lighting final unit... it's a tie). Also, I liked how abstract the flowers look when I zoomed in and zoomed out on them. The panning was very difficult to do because I had to get the subject as clear as possible and have the background be blurry completely. The blurred subject was cool to do too. I liked how her legs looked so ghost like while keeping the rest of the picture clear.

Proposal for Motion Unit

Panning 

I plan to go to open gym at tumbling and get pictures of the girls tumbling
and try to one clear and the others blurry. The lighting in the gym is pretty dark
so I think this might work out well because I will have to have my shutter speed relatively slower. 
                                                              

Blurred Subject

I like this idea of having someone sit on the swing and have them
swing back and forth. I probably will do something similar to this
with my sister but possibly on the trampoline because her and I
are more into tumbling together. I will have to make sure that I
keep the camera stable and the shutter speed on the slower side.
Also, I need to make sure I'm not letting to much light in with the
Aperture. I have to make sure to have a small depth of field so that
I can focus the background but blur her, and to make sure that not
a lot of light is coming in.

                                       I have to make sure that my shutter speed is very fast and that my aperture is very low so that I have a large depth of field and that I'm letting a lot of light in. I plan to have someone jump in the air and try to get everything clear. 

                                                Zooming

                                       I think it would be cool if I took Karmen and I had her jump in the air and then zoom in and then zoom out. 

                                          Writing with Light 

For writing with light, I thought about having Karmen sit in a chair and then use a lighter and wrap it around the chair to make it look like she is sitting on fire.

Interviewing Karmen

For the Lighting Final Project, I chose my sister to be my model. At first she said that she did not want to be my model because she did not want me to dress her up or something like that. I told her that she only had to be herself and I just wanted to capture her personality. I told her that this project had to be about the most important person in my life. She started giggling when I told her that. I asked her what she thought about the project and she said that she thought it was impressive that I knew all of these things about the camera. She also said it was really fun because it was another thing we got to do together. She said she had a lot of fun doing the photos because she could be silly and it was cool having her big sister use her for the project. Now Karmen wants me to take more pictures of her and even her friends. This project was really interesting because Karmen is not someone who likes to get her picture taken or be at the center of attention. Although, she said that she was okay with being a little silly with this project because the pictures had a meaning to them. I was really impressed with her answers because I think she understood that these pictures are really special. I could have picked anyone and I picked her. She said she was really happy that I picked her because she thought I would have picked one of my friends. I responded and I told her that she is my number one friend so there was no question about who I was going to pick.
