Last Time in the Band Hall

I took this assignment because I have Yearbook first period and well, the Yearbook is done. The story is about Mr. Deese retiring so they wanted a picture of him directing. I went in a while before school and asked him if this would be okay, he said he didn't have a problem as long as I didn't get in the way. So I parked myself in a spot that Kenzie told me to get in and I just waited until he started to direct, which was like 8:40ish. then I picked up my stuff and left. That's pretty much all there is to it. I kinda wish I had a long lens so I could have gotten more of his face, but then again his hands wouldn't have looked the same. I think it was just one of those assignments where you just have to do the best you can, but it won't be your best work.

This Is Just Silly

ISO:100
Aperture: f 4.0
Shutter Speed:1/1600


John David wrote a story about the sports we need to have at Texas High. These consist of lacrosse, water polo, and quidditch. The area for the picture was a pretty small hole so we decided to combine all the sports into one picture. Thus the silly picture above ^^^ Bless Jacob's heart for doing this for me. It was quite cold outside and we had to walk a while, and he looks pretty ridiculous. The sky was really bleh today so I made the sky a little bluer in lightroom but that's pretty much all the editing I did.

Wooh Soccer!!





So I walked into Potter's room and was asked if I could go with John David, Brianna and Madeleine to the out of town soccer game. I was quite excited and accepted even though I know soccer is not my strongest sport. Ont he way there we got sooooo lost, but we found it and only missed about 15 minutes...and the first and only point we scored.... I wasn't just thrilled, but oh well! I started shooting anyway. It was a pretty rough game. We were losing for a good chuck of it and while it made for some good pictures, I would have rather captured happy tears. Anyway I did my thing and shot until it was time to go. The next day Potter asked my to email her a strong horizontal picture to go on the website. I sent her thew first one and she was quite happy with it, but Riley wasn't. Oh well! Anyways, that's that.

When Duty Calls!



So, I was chilling in Stat class being a good little student, learning about chi square and such, when the phone rang and I was needed to save the day! (or go take a picture, same thing) I immediately grabbed the camera I had with me and went to go shoot. The assignment as to go take pictures of the special education kids and workers from target working to fix up the special education courtyard.  Once I got there I realized My Memory had foiled my plan!! I forgot a battery! So, not allowing the evil My Memory to defeat me, I went inside and called Amy and asked her to bring me a battery. Minutes later, she had arrived and I had everything I needed to complete my mission. I placed the battery in my weapon and began to capture all the workers. After about 20 minutes I successfully captured everyone there and made my way back to class. On my way back I stopped at the headquarters to make sure my mission was definitely completed. Once I was safely inside the director and I began to recount everything that happened (and we talked about the photojournalism class, such sweet little ones). Then I left safety to return to my normal life just in time to transport my supplies to my last period.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
