      I really liked this unit! Taking the pictures felt a lot easier and more fun because it was not showing a specific technique but more what we felt looked best. I wish I could have had more time to learn how to do these things and play around a little more with it. My favorite picture is the image overlay because I'm really proud of it and it means a lot to me. My least favorite one was probably the circle rotation. I just thought it was weird. But I liked doing the rest and I feel like I  an use photoshop a lot better. 

Chrono:

   
        I did not like the chrono as much as I thought I would. I thought it was kind of boring. I think it's a neat idea but not something I like to do. I guess I like more of the realistic photos and I didn't like to have to do all the layering and it just got really confusing. But I do think ours came out really well even with all the overlap .

Motion Final:

Zooming

Blurred 

Frozen Motion

Panning

Writing with Light

        I really enjoyed this unit and learning all the different ways to capture motion. I'm happy with the way the frozen motion and blurred motion pictures came out the most. I think they look nice and have a good use of the technique. The panning and writing with light pictures I'm not especially proud of, I personally would not have used these pictures but the other members in my group liked them so those are the ones we used. For the writing with light picture I would have used a specific object or even person and used the light around it/them instead of just writing something and it having no real purpose. The panning picture I think could have been more clear and used with better lighting. We had a hard time with the concept and getting the one aspect clear. I do however like our zooming picture I think it came out really cool and shows how zooming can be used in unique ways. Overall I really liked this unit and I learned some new ways to capture a subject that I'll defiantly use again.

       I really liked doing this project! I thought it was really cool! I liked not knowing exactly how the pictures looked until after they were taken. And I'd like to keep trying it until I can do it really well. Next time I'll set my shutter speed to a higher and go on a black background instead of all white except for my last one.

      I chose my brother for the project as one of the most important people in my life. We fight a lot and I mean A LOT but we are extremely close. We have been through a lot together with my parents getting a divorce and a whole bunch of other stuff in between then in now. I would do anything for him and he knows that. We rely on each other even if we don't tell each other exactly whats happening we are still there and support each other. The pictures of my brother in the natural light I think especially show his all the sides of his personality. The picture of him sitting on the bench and his facial expression is exactly the face he makes when he gets mad. The picture of Andrew on his bike is a prop I really liked in his picture because we all used to ride bikes in our neighborhood that's how we would all get to each others houses and stuff. Also he's wearing shorts and that's important to his picture because he hates to wear long pants and shorts are his favorite thing to wear. I love the picture of Andrew smiling sitting on the steps. I think he looks really happy and that was a genuine smile and we were just goofing off while I was taking it and thats how it happened, and I'm really happy with how it came out. It captured a moment and you don't see that smile very often. The artificial picture really showed how he can be serious and I think the lighting just gives like an intelligent feeling and he is really smart. The existing light picture is Andrew wearing one of his favorite shirts. We get Hershey Park season passes so we are there quite often and he loves to be there the most. Also when my brother gets really excited he makes the expression and puts his arm up like that so I thought that was a good thing to incorporate into his picture.All of these pictures have a different side of Andrew and I'm just really happy I got to capture them all. I really liked this photography unit, and I learned a lot from it. I think the lighting is very very important to the picture and sets the feeling of the photo and also just the quality. I never really thought about lighting until this unit. I knew it was important but I did't think it was as important as it is and I'm really happy we did this unit so now I know.
