Trip to Downtown Toronto

Portrait #1

This picture was chosen for the cover because it shows the diverse conditions of Downtown Toronto. In this photo you can see in the background tall sky scrapers which show the industrial part of Downtown. In the foreground you can see the amount of people that are commuting or traveling by foot which shows that the people of Toronto are independent and motivated to stay healthy and get work done. The wires above head are the tracks for street cars. This shows that the city of Toronto is committed to helping the people have an easier commute. Street cars are a cheaper alternative to taking the Go-Train. This picture also shows how busy it can be downtown and how hectic it gets. this picture was taken at about 11:30 am and the streets are all ready packed. If driving a car at busy, rush-hour traffic you need to be aware of pedestrians, street cars, vehicles with authority, and other things such a mother with a baby stroller. Overall this picture demonstrates the very fast-paced life of living downtown Toronto and I think this is a great shot.

Renaissance

For this project we were told to choose a photo from the renaissance age and i decided to choose this photo. I have used Photoshop to place the face of my subject (Connor) on the face of the original image. My camera was set to aperture F5.5, my shutter speed was set to 1/30 of a second and my ISO was 100.

Painting with light

#1

This photo was shot having the subject (Matt) stand still with his arms up. There were two people who used two different coloured lights (Orange and Blue) to illuminate the outline of the subjects body and arms. This photo was shot with the camera set to a 30 second shutter speed and the aperture F5.5. This photo demonstrates great lines and beautiful technique by moving the colours in such a way that it illuminates the subject perfectly.

#2

To create this photo my camera was set to a 15 second shutter speed and had the aperture set to F5.5. This photo demonstrates the use of a phone light (white) and another phone with orange plastic over it. This creates the effect of two different colours to really draw the viewers attention to the red light. I enjoyed taking this photo because it demonstrates great ability to "paint with light" and was overall a great shot.

#3

This photo was a great demonstration of painting with light with steel wool. The subject executed this very well by lighting it and spinning it in circles. My camera was set to 30 seconds exposure time, ISO 1600 and aperture F8. This photo was very well put together and shows the ability to paint with light very well.
