Favorite Photo from Academics and Community Service

Favorite Photo: 

My favorite photo from the Academics and Community Service category was "Drop the Bass" by Maria Martinez. In this photo a girl, wearing a pair of lab glasses, drops pink paint onto a speaker, with plastic wrap over it.

1. I chose this photo because I like the detail with the paint bouncing off the spacer that was captures in the photo. I love how only a little bit of the paint is blurry, and the rest is all clear and defined. I also like how the speaker and the paint in right in the center of the photo and is the main focus, so the girl in the back is blurred out.

2. One of the rules of photography in this photo is lines. The lines made by little paint, and the plastic wrap, guide your eyes and pull your attention in towards the paint that is bouncing back off of the plastic wrap. This makes you really look at the detail in the paint, with the little glares of light off the a paint and every little shape made by the paint.




Next Shoot:

1. I could go to the gym, or tennis courts to try to find a class doing some type of sport. I could go to the theater, or theater room to maybe find some people practicing for West Side Story. I could also go to the art or dance room to see what they are up to and maybe take shots of people painting or drawing or dancing.

2. I would like to be able to go into the theater and theater room, and try to get some nice shots. I haven't really tried taking pictures of people doing things, so I think theater would be a good opportunity since they are doing something they actually like to do.

3. I will have to get out of my comfort zone. I am pretty shy when it comes to people I don't know, so I would have to get out of my comfort zone and I would have to ask some people if I could take a picture of them. Also I might have to stand on chairs or get down low to the ground, so that I can get a good, interesting angle.
