Final Exam

1. Done

2. Done

3. Done

4. The "transformative" photo that I took this school year is this one  . This photo changed my view of photography. I realized that I could take an object as simple as an outdoor light and photograph it in a way that was new to people, and thus, make the object unrecognizable. I remember asking you, Mr. Farley, what you thought the photo was. You had no idea that it was so simple as a mounted light.

5. Shape is a figure made up of lines. Form is a general figure that many shapes make up. Form + Shape

6. Pattern is a network of the same shapes repeated over and over again. Repetition can apply to patterns as well, but repetition is a more generic term. Repetition refers to elements of art (any) that repeat itself in a photo. My pattern and repetition photo is the same.

8. http://mgmexchange.blogspot.com/   http://we-int.weebly.com/  http://we-int.weebly.com/media-gallery.html            These are the last 3 projects. Of those projects, the best one is the last one (last link). That was where I grew out of the comforts of home. I went to the Santa Cruz mountains over the weekend, and bought a small drone for $39 and I attached a GoPro camera to it. It took a crazy amount of time and effort to get the drone stable enough to take the photos. I realize that some of the photos have odd shifts in color and harbour a little blurriness. it's hard to control a small drone in windy conditions with a second hand camera attached to it. But I do believe it is my best photo because I worked the hardest on it. The last project affected me in a very interesting way. The beginning of the school year, I learned to see in the perspective of a camera. And the last project I learned to see through the lens of a drone.

On a final note, I don't know if you've ever tried drone photography, but you should give it a go. It's easy, yet versatile. Unlimited possibilities.
