Environmental Portrait

EQUIPMENT:
D1H
17-35mm

PROCESS:
For photojournalism class we each had a person we had to photograph and have turned in before noon. I had to photograph Gina McKee, the AHS volleyball coach, at the middle school. The idea I had in my head was to photograph her in the gym with the volleyball net and gels in the background but... my idea was smashed because the middle school had a PE class going on in the gym. So I had to think of something else fast, so I took her outside and shot this. Nothing special but I shot it at f/8 @ 1/250, with ISO 200.

This photograph was taken at the Dixie Classic Fair in Winston-Salem. I thought the swing ride looked neat with the sun going down in the background.

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 a weekly in photojournalism I choose to photograph putt-putt. There was a mother and her daugther there that day, and they said I could follow them through the game a photograph them. I was shooting with ISO 200, f/5.0 and I cant remember what shutter speed, it was automatic.

Sports Portrait

2- 285Q
Light Stand
Vivitar Soft Box
Pocket Wizzards

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.
