Understand? To what degree? Will there be a written test?

This photo is my favorite one in this album, I can see repeating patterns on both the building and the ground. It was taken at the front door of Seattle Public Library and it fulfills requirement 4: repeating patterns. When leaving the Public Library, my attention was caught by this beautiful triangle structure outside of the library and its reflections on the floor. My camera settings were basically the same with the previous one. When post processing this photo, I adjusted its tone curve and made slight adjustment to its HSL.

This photo fills requirement 3. To take this photo. I had to use several steps. First, I placed the camera on a pillar, then used manual exposure and a remote shutter to take this photo. I set the camera lens down and put the camera on the manual settings I wanted. ISO 100 to keep noise at a low, and the 15 sec to get the amount of light stream that I wanted. Then, an f/4.8 to balance the exposure. I used the rule of thirds, keeping the subject in the right third.

This image meets the expectations for requirement 3: outdoor portrait. This was shot at golden hour, so the set was setting to the west (left) of the subject. This created a soft and even light allowing the subject to be adequately lit. The subject was originally candidly sitting on the bench, when I asked her to smile. I used the lowest possible aperture f/2.8 and zoomed in to my longest focal length 70mm, in order to blur the background. My ISO was placed at 640 to reduce noise. In Lightroom I edited and color-corrected the image with my own presets and tools. I upped luminance and vibrance for bright color effects.

This photo satisfies requirement 4, wrong white balance. I went out for a walk at around 10am and went to a nearby trail. At the trail there's a long tunnel that goes under the street made out of a round tube of sheet metal. I wanted to take a picture of this and make it look a bit spooky, and I turned a blue fluorescent white balance setting on to give the image a "cold" feeling. I also didn't want to just take a picture from eye level so I go on the ground and took a picture, letting the camera focus on the ground with a shallow depth of field with the tunnel in the background to make it seem "dirty" in a way because of all the dirt in the foreground. All in all, I think the picture came out great and really conveys the feeling of how the tunnel feels in person.

 

The settings I used for this picture was a wide focal length of 18mm to get the entire tunnel in frame and an aperture of 2.8 to make the depth of field shallow and keep the front of the tunnel in focus and the rest of it a little blurry and mysterious. The camera was on aperture priority so the automatic settings picked an ISO of 200 and a shutter speed of 1/210 seconds.

It's a photo of a wooden wall which is made of several lines. I shot this with an f8 and 1/60s to get a nice depth of field and the right exposure in the daylight.

 

Post processing in Lightroom with color editing and contrast increase.

This photo satisfies requirement 3. I took this photo of my friends who just came from Hawaii light painting using the flashlight from their phones. I used a tripod to stabilize the shot, and slowed down the shutter speed to 8 seconds to take a long exposure. In order to compensate, I used Tv mode to let the camera set the aperture, and turned down the ISO, so there won't be too much light.

I guess this means that the masked tree won't qualify for service, because it won't be meeting two of the three requirements.

This photo satisfies requirement 3: Nothing in focus. I used manual focus to make sure the subject isn't in focus. This gives the image a soft but fuzzy texture to have viewers unclear of who this person's identity is. In addition with the poor lighting, it also emphasis on making the subject look sad.

May 17, 2012 - Albany: Governor Cuomo announces that New York State will end the finger imaging requirement for all food stamp applicants and recipients, helping simplify the application process and removing a barrier to reducing hunger among the state’s children and adults.

 

Statewide, one in six children live in homes without enough food on the table. Yet 30 percent of New Yorkers eligible for food stamps — over 1.4 million people — do not receive them, leaving over $1 billion in federal funds unclaimed every year. In his 2012 State of the State message, Governor Cuomo pledged to increase participation in the food stamp program, including removing barriers to participation and eliminating stigmas associated with the program. Eliminating the finger imaging requirement will make it easier for additional New Yorkers in need to apply for food stamp benefits.

  

  

Ferrari Ownership Requirements 12/7/2020

 

To own a Ferrari would fulfill the fantasy of many car enthusiasts. The famous Italian automaker excels in delivering luxury sports cars that bear a signature and unique exterior without sacrificing performance. This is only half of what makes the cars special though.

 

Ferrari's culture separates the company from other automakers in huge ways, affecting both its owners and the workers behind these miraculous machines. Although the company is one of the most valuable, it cares about something more than just earning money: it’s about making special cars that offer a driving experience unlike any other. When examining the company and its owners, it’s clear they’ve achieved this milestone, even after all these years.

 

Owners have to go to great lengths if they want the latest and greatest cars Ferrari churns out. Employees have to follow rules and regulations if they want to uphold the most important thing to Ferrari—which is not about making cars, but the brand itself. Whether one is a Ferrari owner or an employee that works at their factory plant, everyone has to follow the "Ferrari code."

 

It’s because of these rules that the brand is exclusive and widely coveted among car gurus today. If someone wants to own a Ferrari, they’re going to have to play by the company’s rules. The same goes for employees if they want to work at, what Autoblog notes, a company that won the award for Best Place to Work in Europe for 2007. We’re going to take a look at known rules both owners and employees have to follow if they want to remain in the good graces of Ferrari.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20 - Owner Rule: Forced To Sign Contract Agreeing Not To Sell Car

People today become bombarded with agreements written in fine print. Most people don’t have the time or patience to read all that agreements detail though and decide to sign on the line regardless. According to Autoweek, Ferrari in the US makes their customers sign a contract upon purchasing a new vehicle.

 

In that agreement is a clause that prevents owners from reselling their car in the first year. The automaker makes buyers sign this in an attempt to discourage owners from flipping their cars. This is both a reminder to read the fine print and further demonstrates the automaker’s stringent protocol placed upon new owners.

 

19 - Employee Rule: Forbidden From Buying New Cars

Last September, Ferrari unveiled a pair of Roadsters long-time employees can appreciate. Even if the employees want the cars though and can afford them—tough luck. The Drive reports that the company makes their vehicles first and foremost available to the public.

 

One of Ferrari’s executives, Enrico Galliera, had this to say about employees getting second dibs on new cars: “The philosophy is that with such limited production and clients waiting so long to get their car, it's not nice if the car is delivered to employees.” The only exception to this rule are Scuderia Ferrari F1 drivers who can buy one from the company.

 

18 - Owner Rule: Leave The Logos Alone

Ferrari believes that as soon as their car rolls off the production line, it's perfect as is. There’s no shortage of Ferrari owners who feel differently though; here’s photographic proof of owners who took their Ferrari rides for granted. If Ferrari had it their way, they’d opt for owners to leave their iconic logos untouched.

 

According to Tech Dirt, the electronic DJ and artist Deadmau5 got in trouble for covering up his Ferrari logos with custom ones. His 458 Italia “Purrari” sports a blue vinyl wrap that has a Nyan cat painted on the side. It’s a move Ferrari supposedly issued a cease and desist order over.

 

17 - Employee Rule: Communicate On Their Terms

Ferrari has gone to extremes to sell cars before by tampering with some odometers on used cars, so it’s only natural they’d apply radical policies in the workplace as well. It appears that too many employees were reaching for the keyboard on too many occasions instead of opting for old fashioned face-to-face communication.

 

According to The Guardian, the executives at Ferrari advised their employees to “talk to each other more and write less.” Since it should be pretty easy for supervisors to monitor their employees’ computer activity, it's safe to assume workers adhere to this directive in order to stick around.

 

16 - Owner Rule: No Pink Ferraris

Ferrari isn’t fond of pink Ferraris. That’s what Executive Lifestyle reports, despite the company tolerating some customer paint jobs. The disapproval of pink came directly from Herbert Appleroth, the President and CEO of Ferrari Australia. “We do reject the exterior color pink,” Appleroth said, as per the same source.

 

He went on to say that Ferrari would never produce a pink car. Without a doubt, red is the most iconic color they wrap their cars in. At the same time, the company promotes the idea that no two Ferrari rides should be identical, they just wouldn't go so far as to stand out with a pink paint job.

 

15 - Employee Rule: No Discounts On Cars

Working for certain companies has its perks. For one, it allows employees to buy products made and sold by that company at a discounted rate. This luxury, however, is too generous to bestow upon Ferrari employees.

 

According to The Drive, should Scuderia Ferrari F1 drivers choose to purchase a personal Ferrari, they're required to pay full price for it. That puts them in an awkward position, considering it’d be hard to spot team members driving in anything else but a Ferrari; in a way, it forces their employees to invest back into the company without a price concession if they want to properly represent the brand.

 

14 - Owner Rule: Accept Ferrari’s Right To Buy Back Car

In an earlier entry, we noted that Ferrari in the US has made buyers sign a special contract. While that contract discouraged owners from selling their new Ferrari, it also adds another stipulation: the automaker can buy the vehicle back.

 

According to the site Car Keys, if someone wanted to get rid of their LaFerrari Aperta, it’s pursuant for Ferrari to purchase the vehicle back from the owner. It would appear that on the surface, Ferrari would rather the car go to someone who wants it instead of someone who doesn't. This is all part of that special contract owners may sign at the time of their purchase.

 

13 - Employee Rule: Sworn To Prevent Security Leaks

Whether someone is an actor in an upcoming Avengers movie or an employee at Apple, the bigwigs in charge want to keep details under lock and key—that includes any plot spoilers and future product releases. Ferrari is a similar company that’s always making new vehicles while wishing to work in secrecy.

 

To maintain a level of mystery, the whole operation depends on trustworthy employees. According to Kaspersky Lab Daily, something as simple as copying data to a USB drive has to go through an approval process. This in turn discourages employees from going routes that may lead to a security breach and exercises a higher level of caution.

 

12 - Owner Rule: Must Love The Ferrari Brand

The world is full of sides, clubs and camps. Those who are outside of them get picked on unless they join a team, while those inside a base pledge undying loyalty. Ferrari is no different. It’s more than just an automaker—it’s a special culture with its own philosophy, style and following.

 

As the site Car Guy points out, the company sifts through applicants and chooses who gets to buy certain models because they want to make sure their cars are properly taken care of. It’s a sure bet they’re going to pick someone who’s not just a Ferrari fan, but also lives and bleeds the brand.

 

11 - Employee Rule: Prohibited From Sending Certain Group Emails

Expanding further on an earlier point, Ferrari went to great lengths to crack down on employees emailing more instead of talking to each other. As a means to curb digital communication so that employees would talk to each other directly, they added terms to sending emails.

 

As per The Guardian, a spokesman for Ferrari said, “From now on, each Ferrari employee will only be able to send the same email to three people in-house.” This must have been a wake up call for employees at the time and discouraged them from falling into old habits of CCing everyone in the whole company on a single thread.

 

10 - Owner Rule: Buy Not One, Not Two, But Multiple Ferraris

Owning a Ferrari isn’t exactly enough to be a part of the club. As the site Car Guypoints out, it’s more suitable to own several Ferrari cars before one feels part of the bunch. That narrows down the list of potential owners to only a handful around the world with how much they cost.

 

Even older models are going up in value, as the 1964 Ferrari Prototype demonstrates. The same source points out that the most committed owners, at minimum, are the ones who upgrade their old Ferrari to a newer model. It’s not enough to purchase a one-off Ferrari and call it a day if someone wants to be a true fan.

 

9 - Employee Rule: Required To Wear Red And White Uniforms

An amusement park can make its employees wear costumes that match the park’s theme; a restaurant may have its employees wear a vest and bow tie; an office requires business casual attire. Ferrari is like most jobs, requiring its employees adhere to a dress code.

 

According to Freep, those on the manufacturing campus must wear red and white uniforms. They have the company’s iconic yellow logo stitched on, which unites all the employees under the same banner and purpose. There are plenty of people around the world who would love to wear these uniforms, but only a select number ever get to suit up in one.

 

8 - Owner Rule: Be Older Than 40

Despite Ferrari being one of the most famous car brands today, many people aren’t aware of its history or the automaker's philosophy. There are so many facts about the legendary automaker, we dedicated a whole piece to things most people don't know about Ferrari.

 

It’s not unusual for potential owners to go through a rigorous process that feels commensurate to a background check. According to the site Car Keys, automaker won’t hesitate to request a customer’s history of ownership for review. Even more, the same source suggests that Ferrari dealers are more likely to sell a car to a new owner who’s over the age of 40.

 

7 - Employee Rule: Formula 1 Team Must Win

When Scuderia Ferrari struggles, it affects the whole company. The site News.com.au reports that despite being the "most iconic team” in Formula 1 racing, Ferrari was unable to secure a Grand Prix win in 2016. The team only has one remedy when this happens: winning.

 

As F1-Fansite points out, they were able to bounce back in early 2017, with Vettel winning the first race and securing 5 race wins. The Formula 1 team not only represents the automaker but carries the pride of the entire brand. It’s important that they do well in order for the brand to continue thriving.

 

6 - Owner Rule: Treat Fellow Ferrari Owners Like Family

Buying a car from certain automakers, such as Tesla, Porsche or Ferrari, feels like joining a family. When someone purchases a Ferrari, they enter into a brotherhood and sisterhood alongside fellow owners. As the site the Car Guy notes, entering into the Ferrari fraternity means that owners help each other when the need arises.

 

This is one of those unspoken rules the automaker hopes and expects its customers will follow. Even outsiders who don’t own one may find it easy to support someone who does as an expression of their admiration towards the brand. Ferrari owners got to stick together.

 

5 - Employee Rule: Must Adopt The “Formula Uomo” Philosophy

The company not only cares about its customers, but its employees too. They recognize that these are the people that make it all possible. Autoblog reports that Ferrari launched a project called “Formula Uomo” in the 1990s which lays down many of the tenants employees live and breathe by.

 

The same source notes that this philosophy deals with the working conditions, one’s professional growth and personal benefits. Each individual is important and must embody these principles in order for the whole enterprise to work properly. As a Ferrari employee, “Formula Uomo” lays the groundwork for one’s success while working there.

 

4 - Owner Rule: Must Have Fame, Fortune And More

To own some of the world’s best supercars, all it takes is a lot of dough. If that wasn’t enough though, Ferrari raises the bar on what they expect from their owners. Part of what makes their cars so exclusive are the limited number they make. Take the LaFerrari for example, which Wired reports only 499 exist.

 

In order for their cars to get attention, they have to give them to owners who can not only afford them but put them in the spotlight. The same source notes that even high-profile buyers who applied for the vehicle weren't able to land one.

 

3 - Employee Rule: “Clients First”

Ferrari cares about its customers. The company doesn’t treat its clientele as a dollar sign—although they do get a lot of money for the cars they deliver—but instead seeks to make a bond with its owners. The company is like a father who’s entrusted his child with the keys to the treasured car.

 

They want to know their cars are in good hands, which is possible through respect. That’s why they make clients a priority. The Drive reports that Enrico Galliera, a Ferrari executive said, “It is clients first.” Behind those words is a whole company of employees who live by this aim.

 

2 - Owner Rule: Respect Ferrari’s Way Of Doing Things

No one likes obeying rules. If there’s a realm with enough rules as it is, it’s driving on the road. The last thing people want is more rules they have to follow as a car owner. Under the Ferrari umbrella though, there are lots of expectations one has to follow as an owner.

 

That means going with their unique way of doing things. The site Car Keys reports that the automaker’s politics, including their selection process for who they deem is eligible to purchase limited edition cars, is one such rule owners have to follow. It may not be easy to accept, but it’s part of playing the game.

 

1 - Employee Rule: Protect The Brand At All Times

Ferrari has managed to be an independent automaker over the years while still making loads of money. Part of what makes them so successful is the brand’s reputation, which is about making flawless cars that perform well.

 

One of the executives, Stefano Lai, as per Freep said, “My job ... is to protect the brand as much as possible.” This is a principal that trickles down to employees, affecting their conduct and the image they project in and out of the workplace. Many employees likely have the Ferrari logo on them throughout the day, making them an extension of the company wherever they go. That means they have to watch what they say and do since they represent the company’s image.

I took this photo at University Village in front of the Ravenna Garden meets requirement 5 and 3. The key light is from the natural light from up left side makes the left side face bright and shadwed right side face. The fill light is from the light in the shop at back. So the edge of the hair is a little yellow. I use a wide aperture and slow shutter speed to crease a little over exposure effect on portrait.

 

Afterwards, I use Lightroom to crease a unrealistic photo. First I copy the purple flower and blend with her hair to make a floral style photo. Second I copy the flower to built more flower on the bottom to make photo full. Third I create a fake sun on the left up corner using the circle tool and make it color yellow. It looks like a sun beam from left up side.

This photo is taken for requirement 2 and 3. I took this photo in downtown Seattle. Since I got tripod with me, I used ISO100 to keep best photo quality. Since the ISO is low, I used a longer shutter speed to remain proper exposure. But because of the long exposure time, we can see the car lights became lines of different color. Honest speaking, I did not know how to do post processing with this photo so I just adjust a few details like the highlight and black. One thing I did not like is the handrails of the bridge is inside the photo and I could not find a good position to eliminate this. But my friend has a special tripod to allow him hang the camera outside the handrail.

This photo satisfy requirement 3. The heart structure is a 3-D , geometric form that is constructed with a bronze/copper metal. My focus was to emphasize the form of the heart structure by comparing its height with my little brother. In Adobe LR, I processed the photo to have a warmer orange mid-tone and lowered the exposure because it was too bright. I also increased the contrast a little to make the colors less washed-out.

For this photo, it satisfies requirement four because I stood really close to the flower to get a perfect focus of the orange color while the middle of the flower. I wanted to really emphasize the middle details on the flower so I went on LightRoom, brightening up the colors and highlighting the flower's small details to have the macro effects. This satisfies requirement one because the background of the flower subject is blurry. I cropped most of the blurry background so the photo could mainly focus on the flower, but I left some of the blurry backgrounds in the bottom corners to emphasize the front focus.

World Trade Center Site. Instructions for workers.

This one is taken in the Dr. Rizal Bridge Park at night. I put on my led goggles on and my watch dogs mask on. I shot this using the remote app on my cellphone. I think this one fulfill the 5th requirement since it's a self-portrait with unrealistic components including the glitch effect I did in Photoshop and the text I addon my glasses.

This photo was taken under Columbia Center and it satisfies requirement 1: vertical vanishing point. I feel like to compose the photo this way is very interesting in that the three skyscrapers form three converging vertical vanishing points and those points coincide at approximately the same place on this photo. What I like the most about this photo is that the three skyscrapers also form an implied triangle structure, which created a sense of stableness and dynamism to the overall photo.

 

It was almost 9 pm when I shoot this photo, so I used aperture priority mode and set my aperture to ƒ/5.6 to avoid depth of field. In order to avoid camera shake, I had to set a higher ISO value. When post processing this photo, I reduced its noise in Lightroom.

Satisfies requirement 1 and 4: Vertical vanishing point & repeating patterns.

 

In order to to get a big depth of field, I used 16mm focal length, f/9.0 aperture and low ISO of 100. 1/100 of shutter speed in sunny afternoon

 

I adjusted the brighteness, clarity and contrast through Darktable

 

This pic meets the requirement 2. When I shoot it, my hand and my camera are both moving.

I shot this view of I5 cityscapes at night. Since I want to capture the light trail, so I used a shutter speed of 10s with an ISO of 100 to reduce noise. Besides, I used f/5.6 and an 18mm focal length to get a wider view.

 

This one fulfills the 2nd requirement.

Post-production in Lightroom first and Photoshop after. I added a layer of the night sky with stars in the upper part in Photoshop.

Launch of the 2014 strategic response plans and requirements, Palais des Nations. Monday 16 December 2013. Photo by Violaine Martin

Motion Blur. This is how far the balloons got in 8 seconds.

This satisfies requirement one because the background is out of focus/ blurry while the main subject, which is the flower, is focused. The stem of the flower is also focused, which pops the difference of focus from the front subject and background. For this photo, I had to crop out the background so the flower subject in the photo would be aligned perfectly in the middle. I also went to LightRoom, emphasizing the yellow color on the flower.

This photo taken at the green lake meet requirements 1 and 4. I focused on the flower and make the background blur when the lights come in it becomes little circle in the background. This was shot with a Sony 24-70mm f/4.0.

This photo was taken at Seattle Public Library and it fulfills requirement 5: Interior Panorama. When shooting this photo, I was standing at the center of the 3rd floor and shoot a sequence of photos to capture the entire room by shifting and rotating my camera.

 

I used aperture priority mode and set my aperture to ƒ/10.0 because I wanted everything in focus. In terms of processing, I combined this group of photos into a single panorama through Lightroom and slightly decreased its highlight and increased shadow.

This one is taken in the pioneer square station. I think this photo fulfills the requirement 1 since the composition of this architecture leads to a vanishing point in the middle of this image. I use a 12mm f2 lens to capture more details. Also, I use 2.5s and an ISO of 100 to capture the light trails with low noise.

 

Post-production in Lightroom with Nik-collections and then Photoshop with merging two images.

I took this photo on campus and I feel like it fulfills requirement 2: no vertical vanishing point and requirement 4: repeating patterns. I really like how the beams on the rooftop is symmetrical to its reflections and the repeating patterns on both the roof and the floor.

 

I used aperture priority mode and set my aperture to ƒ/4.0. When processing this photo in Lightroom, I increased its shadow and contrast, and slightly adjusted its tone curve.

This photo is a panorama of the Suzzallo Library Reading Room. It was taken using the panorama mode on a iPhone 7 Plus which satisfies requirement 5. In order to take the photo I had to stand at the end the room and make a 180 degree turn to cover everything I needed. There wasn't too much processing done on the photo after it was taken and all of the settings were left up to the phone. To minimize distortion or shake, I made sure to pan very slowly while taking the photo and as a result, everything in the photo is in focus and not distorted.

This photo meets requirement 3 to have no part of the image in focus. I set the camera to Aperture priority mode at the smallest F number, so that the subject could be slightly less blurry than the background. I then manually set the focus so that everything was blurred. This photo plays on the idea of glasses as a tool to make vision less blurry by showing what the scene looks like to the photographer without wearing glasses.

This photo satisfies requirement 2. For the rest of my photos, I created a pendulum using my volleyball and some string. For this photo in particular, I swung the ball vertically away from me and took the picture as the ball was coming towards me. I used a quick shutter speed to motion blur the subject, and used a large f-stop to keep the background in relative focus. I also cropped the photo to focus on the subject and remove extra objects from the background.

This photo satisfies the second half of requirement 2. Here, I raised the green saturation, and lowered the temperature to make the leaves pop. I also removed a few leaves to give a greater access to the blues of the sky. This hopefully makes for a cleaner image.

This photo satisfies requirement 5, non-photorealistic photograph. This photo is taken combining two photos, one with an empty tennis court and another with my girlfriend lying down on a stool.

 

I took this photo with in aperture priority with an aperture of f/2.8 to reduce details in the background and emphasize the subject in the foreground of the photo. My focal length was set to 18.0mm, the widest my lens can go to capture a lot of the sky and surroundings. ISO was set to 200 and shutter speed was set to 1/5800 seconds automatically by the camera.

 

To post process the photos I brought them into photoshop and did a lot of edits with layer masks to make the subject float higher than she was with the stool. I created a new shadow with an ellipse with reduced opacity and a feathered edge. Then I brought the edited image into photoshop and increased exposure, contrast, vibrance, and saturation. Then I added some vignetting and some radial filters to make the ground below the subject and a conical shape around the subject have higher exposure.

This photo meets the conditions for requirement 5. I used my Nikon D90 with a Nikkon AF NIKKOR lens. I took this photo at my house. I used a 1/200 shutter speed and an f/18.0 aperture. I used a small aperture, because I wanted everything to be in focus. I used a faster shutter speed than the other photos, because it was outside. I did an hdr on lightroom classic and increased the saturation and temperature. Originally I wanted to get a photo of her shaking her own hand, but I like the ghost-like image that turned out. I think it’s cool how the image of her on the right turned out like a drawing on the house.

This photo fulfills requirement 5 because of its use of color to make the subject pop. It was taken of a preserved crocodile head with a balloon stuffed into its mouth. The settings were chosen to keep as much of the subject in focus as possible while still accurately exposing the subject. In post, minor adjustments were made to color and saturation.

This photo satisfies requirement 5. It was taken when the sun was no longer above the horizon, which gave a very nice orange color of the sky. I merged multiple photos with different exposures to create this HDR photo, preventing the sky being overexposed while keeping the correct exposure for the front scene. I also cropped the photo to get a better composition and increased the contrast of the scene.

This photo satisfies requirements 1 & 5. It is taken in a completely dark room in full manual mode and I placed my iPad displaying a fire background in front of the metal kettle. To compensate for the low light environment, I increased the ISO to 400, used a larger aperture of f/5.0, and a slower shutter speed of 0.5s, and placed the camera on the back of a chair to reduce shakiness. I also adjusted the settings to capture the vertical extension of the fire reflection on the kettle. It is underexposed in the sense that we can only see the outline of the kettle reflecting the fire image, and I also intentionally tilted the camera to break the composition.

This photo fulfilled requirement 1, which is to take a studion portrait. I took the portrait at school studio. In the studio, there is a key light that have different light level with barn doors that can direct where the light to spot. I shine the key light from the leftside at the height that was horizontal to the girl's chest and then I add a fill light on the right side at the level of the girl's neck. The key light created a shadow on her face, however, the fill light helped avoiding making her right face completely dark.

I actually like the shadow the key light created on her nose. I did minor adjustments in Lightroom. All photos I took for this assignment was under manul mode.

This photo satisfies requirement 1. I captured this photo by setting up my camera with a tripod and tossing the volleyball in front of me until I got a clear shot. I used a quick shutter speed so that the ball wouldn't be motion blurred and adjusted the aperture and ISO accordingly for exposure. I also a filter so that the photo wasn't excessively orange. I thought the photo would take a few tries, so I threw the ball against a car so that it would bounce back towards me and allow me to quickly try again.

This photo satisfies Requirement 3.

 

I used Sony ILCE-7 Viltrox 85mm F1.8 with an aperture of f/7.1, focal length of 85.0 mm, exposure time of 8s, and ISO of 50 to capture this photo while standing on the sideway of a street. I used a long-duration shutter speed to sharply capture the cumulative effects of time passing, i.e., lights of motorcycles passing in this case.

 

The lights from the motorcycles were moving, so I didn't have to move my camera but was still able to take a long-exposure photo like this.

 

I did basic image processing to this photo using Photoshop.

REQUIREMENT 5

 

This photo is from last week when I went to shoot at City Hall. Upstairs in the main area there is this blue walkway/bridge thing, and it’s pretty cool. City Hall is an interesting building and it is always very quiet and peaceful when I go there.

I took this shot handheld with the wide lens, and you can see the distortion around the edges of the frame because I didn’t bother to correct it.

 

Post-processing: straighten, layer mask, desaturate, manual curves adjustment

This photo satisfies requirement 5. I went ahead and took this panorama at home using my iPhone. To do so, I went ahead and took 5 separate vertical photos that spanned across the dining room. Afterwards, I went ahead and stitched these photos together in an app to get the final result. It was interesting to see the EXIF information from the iPhone camera as well (the aperture and focal length were much smaller than I anticipated).

This photo satisfies requirement 4. I took these series using a Sigma 135mm with the speed burst mode on to shoot ~6fps and with the shutter speed at 1/400 to freeze the action in each moment. The people in this photo is doing a lay-up while I was taking these photos. I combined all the photos using photoshop to tell a small story in this way.

This is the raw photo.

This photo satisfied Requirement 3 bugs. I used sony a7r3 and 24/70mm 1.4 lens. I used f5.6 and 70mm to get more things in focus. And a extension tube 10mm + 16mm. I spent some much time to find a bug. And finally, I found it.

All camera settings were chosen manually. I used a medium aperture (f/5.6) to capture enough light given the setting, while still keeping the scene in focus. The shutter speed was 1/30 get a good amount of motion blur. The film used was Kodak Tri-X 400, pushed to 1600 for extra grain and good lighting in the low light. After I scanned it in, I boosted the contrast a bit and brought down the shadows to make the subject stand out a bit more.

This photo fulfilled the requirement 4 & 1

 

I took this photo in a cloudy and drizzle weather and using my sony a6000 with E 55/210 mm lens for discovering the macro world. I zoomed in the lens and made the focal length of 129.0 mm, at f/5.6 aperture and 1/ 200 sec. shutter speed and ISO 1000.

 

Photo processed through Darktable 2.0.3. I used color-correct, changed the brightness, exposure and contrast slightly to make the contrast more vived.
