Slo-Mo

This week's assignment was a focus on using slow shutter speed techniques through panning, motion blur and motion abstracts and light painting. Panning is achieved by following a moving object with the camera while keeping the camera still. Motion blur and abstracts are achieved by setting the camera to a slower shutter speed and moving the camera to make the subject look blurred. Light painting is achieved by using a light; usually a flash light and "painting" and image with it. I found that it took a lot of experimenting and patience to get the exact results that I wanted. Overall, I think that light painting was the most enjoyable and panning was the most difficult and most frustrating.

Multi-frame Storytelling

This week we focused on multi-frame storytelling and conveying some sort of message or story through multiple images. As I created my images I took photos that I thought would go well together and would be able to tell some sort of story. When editing my photos I chose to use either two or three photos per collage and edited most of them in black and white. I used different moods, ranging from sadness to hope.
