Assignment 2 - Part 2: Self-Portraits and Research
For the first picture, I really wanted to concentrate on the eyes. If I had the right knowledge and the right editing software, I would've made the one eye truly seen pop out from behind the skeleton. For the second, the camera had a self-timer of 10 seconds, where I could prepare myself before the picture was taken. I love the reflection on the table, making it seem like both the subject and the reflection are melting into each other. For the third, the camera also had a 10-second timer. I was in the white bathtub, which was great for lighting through reflection.

For the third, I really had to clean up the behind of my room to not make the background of my room so distracting. It's not perfect but it's much better than it would've been. I angled my camera toward a mirror. Research Photographer: David Uzochukwu (I am for some reason...

Shutter speed 1/30 Shutter speed 1/200 Shutter speed 1/30 Shutter speed 1/30 Shutter speed 1/20 1/20 Shutter speed 1/20 1/320 Shutter speed: 1/10 1/8 1/8 Shutter speed 1/8 For panning, I tried rotating my body with the subject, rolling on a skateboard at the same speed as my subject, even putting the camera on the skateboard by itself and letting it roll at the same speed as the subject. When I wanted blurry or clear, the main thing that changed things was higher or slower shutter speeds. Although, I couldn't get it too slow (meaning I wouldn't go past 1/8), because then too much light would enter the camera and it would distort my pictures unpleasantly.
