Thanksgiving Cell-Phone Assignment

"Family"

For part of my Thanksgiving Break, I am planning on going to the beach.We will be going to a local Outlet Mall there in Lincoln City, Oregon, and I will plan on taking a photo that shoes me and my grandma shopping together, or doing something that resembles "family". I would also like to get a picture of the beach/water if the weather happens to be okay. (And a sunset if I am lucky) If I could somehow relate these photos to family, then that would be great. If not, they will just be extras! :D
I definitely want to get a group picture of my grandma, my great grandma, and myself! Once I get home from from the beach, I will take a picture of our Thanksgiving dinner and gathering of our small family. On friday, I hope to get out and spend time with my dad. Whether it is shopping for Black Friday, or it is going and hanging out with some of his friends, I will get a "Dad and son picture" that resembles us as a family. Overall, my photos will be themed by my "Family" and will resemble the time I will spend with them this Thanksgiving break.

Studios

1. Modern Art Photograph

Well, I would definitely be interested in taking modern looking photography.  I love the look of modern photography and how it is portrayed. Lots of times, they use black and white as there background and something as building to be the main object. This Art studio sounds like it would fit me and the kinds of photos I am interested in taking. They also take modern wedding pictures. Example. They take a picture on the beach with a sunset in the background. The image is more romantic feeling than images were in earlier generations. Modern Art is open from 9am to 10pm everyday. There address is 924 N Killingsworth Ct. Portland, OR 97217. There phone number (503) 481-7947.




2. Dave's Studio

	Dave's Studio is very involved in taking sports action photos. It would be awesome to get someone local like him to be able to go to Oaks Park for my roller skating regionals. We have photographers at Nationals, but any professional action takers here. Daves is located in Vancouver, Washington, a short distance away. If I could even go to Daves studio and see some of his material, it was be really cool! I did not exceed in finding the hours of his studio, but I did get his phone number. Its (360) 256-5122. 3. Studio 3   Studio 3 would probably be my favorite choice of the "three"! :D They are located in the heart of downtown, on 12th Avenue. They take the most variety of all the studios I chose. Including food, footwear, portrait, Etc. They actually have two locations. One in Portland and one in Seattle. There are 6 main photographers that work at Studio 3. I would definitely be interested in going downtown so I could see many of their photos. It would be cool to get some techniques to how they take their pictures. I actually just called them and asked for their hours since they weren't on the website. She lady said they stay open till 5pm and stay after for helping if needed.

Lighting-Self Portrait

Lighting Introduction

Color Temperature

Key Lighting

Hair Lighting

Fill Lighting

Back Lighting

Back Light:  Backlighting refers to the process of illuminating the subject from the back.
Fill Light:  a fill light  may be used to reduce the contrast of a scene and provide some illumination for the areas of the image that are in shadow.
Key Light: The purpose of the key light is to highlight the form and dimension of the subject.
Hair Light:Used to separate hair from background; 1 to 1.5 stops higher relative to key, so this eliminates reflectors as illumination.
Color Temperature: Color temperature is the characteristic of visible light that has important applications in photography lighting, etc. The temperature is conventionally stated in units of absolute temperature, K. Color temperature is related to Planck's law and to Wien's displacement law.
