Stop-Action

There are three people in this picture, the girl sitting down is amusingly watching the girl jumping off get caught by the boy.

In this scene, it seems like the girl was carelessly jumping off and the boy was worried that she might harm herself when landing.

The people in this picture are not too close but not far away either. 

I see an abundance of trees in the background but they are far off.

  This picture has contradictory shapes with rectangular shapes and curves. The rectangular shapes are from the steps that the girl is jumping of off and the curves are the way the bodies of the people are contracted. I don't really think this image is in great focus, I think the way that it was printed was the reason it was off focus is because the negatives weren't very clean. This picture was taken outdoors to provide more space for jumping .

Overall I wish this picture was more in focus and the print quality was better. Next time I will check the cleanliness of my negatives and I will definitely practice with this assignment more.

Shallow Depth of Field

In this picture, a girl is hiding behind the bushes spying on the boy standing up. The girl is meant to be out of focus while the boy is in focus. She is farther away from the camera and the boy in focus is closer to the camera.
I wanted the girl to stand behind the bushes to look like she was waiting to surprise the boy. Chase looked preoccupied with the leaf that he was playing with and the surprise would have been fnnier. This shot was slightly as I caught Chase in this position and I just told Joanne(the model) to go behind the bushes and scare him.
This assignment was a bit of a challenge because I had to reshoot. I didn't get how the objects had to be to become shallow depth of field. The outcome of my first attempt made everything in the pictures blurry. Reshooting this assignment was a hassle because I only 6 shots to shoot with and if I had a chance to reshoot shallow depth, I would. I have grown to like using shallow depth of field and I'm now trying to incorporate it in my future assignments as a form of practice.
