Chocolate Assignment

For this Assignment we were to photograph chocolate in any form that could be used in a press release. I like the idea of being able to see the inside of the candy & showing the different textures. The candy I used was Snickers, 100Grand, Baby Ruth & 3 Musketeers

For the setup I used the speedotrons as my light source. Nikon D700, ISO of 200, f/11 at 125th

Line Posing

For this assignment we were suppose to take silhouette images of masculine & feminine poses using a male & female model.This assignment is to help better understand posing & to be able to see the lines the body can make. Here are a few...special thanks to the helpful models

The Fruit/Veggie Assignment

For this assignment we had to photograph fruits or vegetables. I shot this because I liked the idea of the cucumbers cut up then put back together like a puzzle.

The Setup:
A string tied to the stand then tied to the clap that is clamped to the skewer that is inserted in the cucumber. It was shot with a Nikon D700 at ISO 200. I also used the Lens Babies

For my personal amusement with this assignment I took a photo of Oscar. Oscar is a Red Delicious Apple with black eye peas for eyes & I used the bottom of the apple for the rest of his facial features. For the lighting only a flash light was used & it was shot with a Nikon D700 at ISO 200 at f/8.

Downtown Asheboro Panoramic

For the panoramic assignment I shot a 360 of downtown Asheboro at night. This panoramic is a 360 because there is something in the beginning that is also in the end. It was shot with a Nikon D300 at f8 & an ISO of 200. At the top of the image the boarder is not completely straight because doing so would've resulted in the tops of the buildings being cut off.

Technoid

For this assignment I was suppose to create a high technoidish photograph of a cell phone. For this image I used a circuit board, plexiglas & my cell phone. It was shot with a Canon 5D at f16 & ISO of 200. I also worked on it in Photoshop.

The Water Assignment

For this assignment I was suppose to capture water in a way it could be understood universally. I shot 2 images the first is the one I chose to turn in & it is an image of a fountain in Downtown Asheboro. I chose this one because when I think about water it's clear & pure like something I would want to drink. The second is water on the trunk of my car & the rainbow is a reflection from my umbrella.

Flower Power

Over the weekend I decided to go on a photo safari in Greensboro, NC & because I don't know the area I got lost....so I decided to shoot some flowers. All photos were shot with a D300 using a 17-35mm lens at an ISO of 200 & they were edited in Adobe Photoshop. In Photoshop I used filters for all 3 images. Top: colored pencil filter, Middle: diffused glow filter, Bottom: high pass filter

Downtown Asheboro

A trip to downtown Asheboro for my object lighting class. The assignment was to photograph what you saw with an open heart & mind. We focused on lines, shapes, textures & design. Here are a few of the things I shot. All images were shot with a Nikon D70 using a 24-85 & 70-200mm lens & editing was done in Adobe Photoshop.
