SIghtwords by Kiana, Haya, Maegan and Christine


The Dolch Sight Words assignment required us to capture a sum of 95 nouns and in order to allow for efficiency, our class was split into groups. We initially decided to divide the words based on the columns they were categorized in - Haya chose to do the first column, Kiana, the second, Christine the third and Maegan, the last. Although, we found that taking photos based on what was personally accessible to us was best. Needles to say, some of the words were definitely out of reach such as snow at this time of year, sheep, cow, farmer and horse. Therefore, we had to resort to another perception of these words and took some photos of videos and picture books containing these nouns. After a series of trips to the grocery store, sorting through past images and multiple scavenger hunts, we managed to acquire a collection of photos of the given nouns.




Alphabet assignment By: Haya



       The topic of this assignment was Alphabet Photography. Alphabet photography captures a letter in the alphabet naturally or in signs. We were given the option to work individually or in pairs, I chose to work with Yana. For this assignment Yana and I took pictures during our class time in school and during the spring break outside of school. We walked around the Forks with other classmates who worked on the same assignment.  Keeping an eye out for one of the 26 letters in the alphabet was an interesting experience that kept us aware of our surroundings. When we finished gathering two of each letter, we chose the one we thought was best to use. We then cropped our photos and created a slide containing the whole alphabet. 




Final Double Exposure by Haya




        The topic of this assignment was Double Exposure Portraits. During this assignment we watched multiple videos, and saw multiple picture examples to obtain information we needed to create our own double exposure portrait. We started off by taking portraits of each other using different cameras and camera lenses. This wasn't anything new for us. Creating the double exposure effect was not something that I haven't seen before either. During graphics with Mr. Fly, we were also assigned with a similar assignment. Overall I think that this was one of my favorite assignments so far because, I thought it was super cool for one portrait photo to tell multiple stories that we chose to do.

Photographic Composition by: Haya



Our GCT class was assigned a new assignment called composition. Composition is the arrangement of elements or ingredients in a photo. We were given nine topics; line, shape, rhythm, rule of odds, rule of thirds, simplification, sub-framing, negative space, and rule of space. We choose 3-9 of these topics and take at least 3 pictures that match it's descriptions. We were given multiple examples and learned a lot about each topic from the videos that were provided for us. For this assignment we were able to use our phones to take pictures which made the assignment a little easier. 




Photographing Motion by Haya




The grade 9 GCT class was assigned to take pictures in motion. We were given time to experiment and play around with the settings of the camera during class. We took turns taking pictures in groups using colorful items to shoot in motion. Capturing motion wasn't easy and there are many different types of motion to capture like, panning, exaggerated motion, stop motion, or blurring the background to show motion. 




In this photo my friend Kiana is captured in motion while hula-hooping with four hula hoops. This type of photo is called stop motion. Stop motion is exactly like what it's called, a photo where you have stopped motion. For this photo our camera was put on burst or continuous shooting. When our camera was put on burst we looked through the photos to find one great picture with other unwanted ones.


This photo is featuring Waldo coming out of a locker. This type of photo is called blurred to show motion. For this picture we changed the setting of the camera to a slower shutter speed. This was one of the easier ways to caption motion. In this photo we also used a tripod to keep the camera from moving and adding any extra movement. 


This photo captures my friend Kiana riding a bike in the snow. In this photo the subject is in focus but the background is not. This type of photo is called panning. Panning was one of the more difficult photos we had to capture because we had to do it without a tripod. It shows a sense of speed the subject is going.


This photo it captures my friend Yana flipping her hair. This type of photo is called exaggerated motion. In exaggerated photos, the subject is caught in an unusual or awkward position exaggerating the actions she is doing. To do this you would need a slower shutter speed.





























An Egg in Manual Setting By Haya





     In this assignment, Mr. Harbeck asked us to take pictures of eggs in different locations using manual setting. We had to adjust the ISO, F-stop and, shutter speed. At first it was difficult but it got easier the longer I had the camera. 



















Hidden Places at Sargent Park By Haya



      I had just gotten back from the Philippines, and the cool crisp weather of fall welcomed me back. I attended school once again, and was informed of an assignment I had to do for GCT. I headed outside holding the camera tightly around my fingers, the cool air hit my face as I opened the school doors. The gloomy clouds spread across the sky while the fallen leaves left a soft crunch on the ground. We walked around school
