Dolch Sight Words by Ryan, Francine, Vino, Colin






For this assignment, we were given a task to take pictures of specific sight words. We were in a group of 4, and we each divided the 95 words among us. Some words were quite challenging as it was hard to find. Such as robin, farm, Santa Claus, and many more. This required us to search around and use our creativity into finding ways of taking the given sight word. Some of us went to grocery stores, malls, and places out of school just to find the words. It took us quite the time, but we managed to find them and overall it was a fun project to participate in.

Macro Photography by Colin Daly


















We were given an assignment to complete (of our choice). I chose Macro Photography, which creates quite interesting photos that give people another view on certain objects. I included 10 macro photography photos in my slide deck. Macro photography involves being completely zoomed in on your subject whilst using manual-focus (so that auto-focus won't make your photos blurry) which allows me to adjust the amount of focus and where my camera should be focusing.

Here is my slide deck for Macro Photography.

Colin's Portrait Post

Here is a portrait of me.


























Here are 10 Tips to taking some really good portraits:

1) You have to make the subject take up most of the space within the photo (main subject). You do this so that the viewer's mind and eyes do not wander from other distractions, you really want to capture the viewer's attention.

2) You want to apply the Rule of Thirds Technique.

Shots and Angles: The Video Edition by Colin

This assignment was just like our Shots and Angles: The Photo Edition. But this time, its the Video Edition. We are working on a tutorial video that uses different shots and angles so we will basically be turning our old frozen photos and put them into real time. My tutorial is on how to make hot chocolate. I will be using different shots and angles like the "cut-in" or the "establishing shot".

Here are my definitions for the different shots and angles:




I was unable to complete my video.

Colin Photographic Composition Post


Right before the Christmas Break, We were given an assignment on Composition in 3-9 steps. Those 9 ways were "Line", "Shape", "Simplification", "Negative Space", "Rule of Odds", "Rule Of Thirds" , "Rule of Space", "Sub-Framing", "Rhythm", and "Tempo". I chose Line, Negative Space, and Rule of Odds. Each of these techniques create very unique photos that have distinct features that can let you recognize which of the techniques is being used in the photo.

Photographing Motion by Colin

This GCT Assignment was on Capturing Motion and experimenting with different settings on our cameras to see how we could do so. The four different types of motion shots that we had to capture were Panning, Stopping Motion, Exaggerated Movement, and Blur to Show Movement. These shots all required different camera settings like aperture, ISOs, and shutter speeds.


This technique is called "Panning". Panning requires some versatility in order to capture a good shot. Panning is like moving with the subject to capture an interesting shot. I used a shutter speed of 1/21 of a second to capture this photo of me walking. The background is sort of blurred, yet the subject is quite clear.


This technique is called "Stopping Motion". It's like freezing time, and it makes for really interesting photos. Keeping the camera steady using a tripod is essential to taking a photo such as this one because having shaky and twitchy movement within the photo can cause some severe blurring and it could have the potential to ruin your shot. Shooting a shot like this requires high shutter speeds to completely freeze motion and a good ISO to have a clean photo.


The technique used within this photo is called "Exaggerated Movement". This is when the subject(s) of your photo exaggerate their movements to make it look as if something crazy is happening. In this picture a one student is performing an exaggerated crossover to get past his defender, and the defender is trying to lock the guard down. Their movements make for a really good photo.


The technique used within this photo is called "Blur to Show Movement". This technique is used to show a clear background while the subject is in a blurred state to show that they are moving while everything else stays completely still. Using a slower shutter speed can capture some really good photos that have nicely blurred movement like the blur seen in the photo above.


Here is my slide deck for Capturing Motion.

An Egg in Manual Setting by Colin


We were given an Assignment in GCT to take pictures of a small plastic egg in different places around the school and in our homes using different shot techniques.

Hidden Places at Sargent Park by Colin


Hidden Places By Colin

Our GCT Class had gone to different places that seemed to be somewhat hidden around Sargent Park School. You could only find these places if you had access from a teacher or if you looked around hard enough. We had taken photos of the hidden places with many of us posing in them. We were looking for images that had a great amount of contrast that would make a great photo that looked very vibrant and set the center of attention apart from the background.
