Teacher Portrait




EQUIPMENT:
D1H
24-85mm
285Q
Red Gel

PROCESS:
For photojourn. we had to follow a person around for a day and photograph them. I choose to photograph Kelly Hine, she is a first time teacher at Wallburg Elementary School in W-S. While she was writing sentences on the overhead, I had this shot in mind. I put a red gel over my 285Q and placed it on the floor behind her (pointing up towards the whiteboard). The overhead was the light for her face. I shot at f/2.8 at 1/125. Without the kid raising his hand in the frame I dont think it would've made the picture.

PROCESS:
For photojournalism we all had to select one person who competes in a sport and come up with a unique portrait that demonstrates the atheletes abilities. I chose to photograph McKayla Hayes, age 11. I set up one 285Q to the left of the frame with the soft box on it, pointed towards her face. The second 285Q was held right above her head pointing down on her face as well. I shot at ISO 200, f/5.0 and with a shutter speed of about 1/60?? I kept increasing the shutter speed because I wanted the background to be dark and only her in the light, so im not sure exactly what shutter speed I was at for this shot.

I followed five men as they competed against 25 other men, in a game of golf, for a given amount of cash. Before I got to the golf course I had this image in mind. Nearing the end of their game nobody had shot their golf ball in the sand, until Pete May did so. He shot is ball in the sand twice and the first time I was able to achieve this shot like I imagined.
