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.

My Family Portraits by Ryan Tieu






My Family Portraits


I picture my family as a computer. My dad, he is the software that powers the whole family. He makes sure the computer functions properly and updates the system once in a while, just how he takes us on vacation during the summer. He makes sure we have what we need and doesn’t give up just for his family. If it weren’t for the software, the computer would break down and the family would be a total mess. My mom would be the keyboard. She teaches us valuable lessons at home and expects us to behave respectively, just as the keyboard projects the words we type. If she didn’t teach us lessons, we wouldn’t know how to react to certain situations. As for the computer, if there is no keyboard, words wouldn’t be typed just as lessons won’t be taught. Lastly, my brother would be the accessories. He is there to help out a bit but does not contribute as much as the parents, just like the chargers.

 ALPHABET ASSIGNMENT
My second assignment of term 3 was the Alphabet Assignment. Our task was to walk around and take pictures of what appears to be a letter by examining carefully. The goal was to find letters outside in the environment, not self-made or found on a sign. I didn't get the opportunity to explore more of Winnipeg's nature and environment but it was still quite fun and adventurous. This project took way more time than I expected, but this work of art shouldn't be rushed. It takes time and careful eyes to examine a figure from a unique subject. Overall, I found this assignment adventurous but also frustrating as it took time and that I was not exposed to more of the environment. Next time if I do this assignment again or another that's similar, I will explore more of Winnipeg and remember to take my phone out if there are interesting and unique photos.  








Macro Photography By Ryan Tieu




MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY
This is my first assignment of term 3 and it was about Macro Photography. Our objective was to take pictures up close to make it appear bigger than it's normal life-size. Macro is usually taken from small objects or living organisms such as insects as they are quite small and provide unique features. When taking Macro photos, I use manual focus rather than autofocus as it enables the ability to control and adjust the focus of the object and its surrounding. Lenses that go pretty well with Macro Photography are 50mm to 200mm but I prefer 50mm as it was much easier to take pictures of small objects that fit into the picture. Unfortunately, there weren't any flowers or insects to take pictures of due to the cold conditions. It would've been more fun and interesting to take pictures of nature with the flowers and insects alongside but there was no chance of it happening, sadly. Despite not being able to take pictures of the beautiful flowers with insects, this was still a fun project as it was a different style of photography and was pretty interesting.





Final Double Exposure Post by Ryan Tieu








Portraits are photographs that display an individual's emotion, feeling, or personality. Features of a portrait can be further projected through double exposure where two or more photos are combined to create a new picture. We got to explore more on Adobe and taking portraits and it was fun but yet challenging in some cases. For this project; we had to take portraits, find a background picture that best fits and describes you, and watch the given tutorials to learn about creating double exposures. This project took more time to perfect and understand but in the end, things got easier as there was better understanding and we practiced on a few portraits to get more comfortable in a new setting. This was quite fun and interesting as we got to combine two pictures to make one photo that described more about the character than it can describe each individually. Although it took quite a while to figure out, it was a good opportunity to learn more and I hope to do more with double exposures in the future.

Ryan Photographic Composition Post



For our first assignment of 2019, we did composition to explore several ways on the placement of visual elements in a photo and to improve our skills in photography. We were given the choice to choose three out of the nine topics or you could do them all. I decided to do them all because it would be a fun adventure to explore different types of composition and more than one to see the difference from one another. The nine topics were Line, Sub Framing, Rule Of Odds, Rule Of Thirds, Rule Of Space, Negative Space, Shape, Rhythm, and Simplification. There was some advice that helped explain things more meaningful with the videos provided and it was quite fun but somewhat challenging.











Lines can slightly help increase the impact of images by defining the shape and drawing the eyes of the viewer to keep their attention focused on the image with clear understanding.



Sub Framing is a picture within another picture. This helps add interest and the viewer's attention towards the main subject (middle of the frame)




The shape is the first thing we see in a picture and it's usually the most or one of the most important things we find in the picture. It helps emphasize the lines and makes the main subject stick out more.




Negative Space focuses on the main subject and the relationship with its surroundings. It is the space around and between the subjects allowing the main subject to express itself and have its own space for spotlight/attention.



 Rule Of Odds is a picture with an odd number amount of subjects. Having an odd amount of subjects in the picture makes it more visually appealing to the eye rather than having an even amount.



Rhythm is a series of pattern that forms a structure to show the subjects and makes it easy for the viewer to follow along as the shapes, lines, and colours are being repeated in a uniform composition.



Rule Of Space simply creates a sense of motion or action towards your composition. It involves creating negative space that will relate to the subject's movement. In the picture above my friend, Mark is walking down the path, creating a sense of motion.



Rule Of Thirds is a guideline that helps build drama and draws attention in a piece. This rule states that is has to be divided into nine equal squares including two horizontal lines intersecting two verticle lines.



Simplification reduces everything else to focus on the main subject(s) because it is an important part of the piece and it is not necessary to include the background and its surroundings.

Shots And Angles Video Edition By Ryan Tieu



Photographing Motion by Ryan

















For this assignment, our purpose was to capture motion. Motion is a technique we use and can control to show the effects of the picture showing blur. Using high speed or burst is a good idea when taking motion because it will take more than one shot of the figure until there is a good one. Motion pictures take more than one shot because not all of them are perfect and it is hard to perfectly time the picture on when to take it. Using a high shutter speed and ISO may help in some situations as well. Our main goals for this assignment was to capture motion through panning, exaggerated movement, and blurring. The photo above is an example of panning. We had our friend Khoa run around Ryan and Kyle while the camera followed the direction Khoa was running in to show his movement.




This photo shows a good example of exaggerated movement and panning. The background is blurred out and is focused on Kyle attempting to do a layup. The point is to have the main subject sharp and standing out while everything else was blurred. Using a lower shutter speed will help because the lower it is, the better it can capture fast objects like a racing car. This was also an exaggerated movement because it captured Kyle's emotions while going for the layup. His whole body was propelled forward in a fast and aggressive motion which is exaggerated. The look on his face also shows some emotions on being determined to make the layup in as he jumped high to the net.



This was a blur to show photo of Chris dunking on a basketball net. In the gym, we used a yellow volleyball for dunking because it stood out sharp and brightly. The rim and net were clear while Chris was blurred out. Using a slower shutter speed may help because it allows extra time for the camera to visualize and capture the movement.

An Egg in Manual Settings By Ryan Tieu
















For this assignment, Mr. Harbeck gave us a plastic egg to take pictures of in certain places around the school. The pictures we took of the egg were in manual settings. This assignment was fun and a little tricky because we had to change the ISO, Shutter Speed, and other stuff due to the condition it was in. When we were outside, we had to make the shutter speed higher because there was lots of light from the sun. Although it was a little tricky, it was fun taking these pictures and I got to learn more about the camera settings.

Hidden Places At Sargent Park By Ryan






During our class in GCT, we got to go outside to take pictures of the mix of autumn and winter. It was a cool morning with the sun shining brightly from the sky, it was quite the perfect weather for pictures. Most of my photos were taken at the elementary play structure and the outdoor classroom because of the objects and the amount of snow there was. The picture above shows the change of colour in the leaves in the fall season with some early snow on the branches which shows the transition of autumn to winter.
