I went to the circus tonight! Here are some fun photos :) Had a tough time figuring out what manual controls to use with the in-camera flash..I definitely prefer high shutter speeds but that's impossible with no available light and no strobe. Still got some great shots, hard to not at the circus!</div>

I have to confess though, Bob <i>did </i>increase my interest in advertising, but the flame had originally been lit by Tommy's assignment for us two weeks prior. Our job was to pick an advertisement in a magazine and copy it. We'd been working on studio lighting for a few weeks now, so I was anxious to combine some of those lighting techniques into a comprehensive photograph. This assignment was SO much fun because it was really making us apply our skills and figuring out how to produce an image that we want on demand.<br />
<br />
The ad I chose was COVERGIRL:<br />

<br />
So, what do you do when you don't have Drew Barrymore around for a casual photoshoot? Grab the closest look-a-alike and work with what you've got! This is my friend Liz, the president of our sorority. Small details are different from my final copy, like the long-sleeve and the ring, but I had a lot of fun doing this and this is my first but definitely not last of working on advertisements as projects!<br />
<br />
Definitely a lot to work on, but such a positive starting point! I had a problem with making my image look as warm as Drew Barrymore's/COVERGIRL's, so I tried to fix that in post-production via Photoshop. Here are some other images from the shoot, these were taken with a shutter speed of 1/125 and an aperture F-stop of 5.6.<br />

(School of Media Arts and Design, for all of the non-JMU'ers out there). In addition to SMAD Day on Friday, a jam-packed day of career advice, networking and portfolio building from JMU SMAD alum, we had the pleasure of meeting Bob Leverone.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hM0-Y8p9tAg/T4YDw0JotWI/AAAAAAAAAXM/InQQI2sq5DU/s1600/leverone-large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hM0-Y8p9tAg/T4YDw0JotWI/AAAAAAAAAXM/InQQI2sq5DU/s320/leverone-large.jpg" width="257" /></a></div>
Bob came to our photojournalism class last Thursday to talk about his career and some of his favorite shoots he's done; some recent, some not. He started out after graduating from JMU at miscellaneous VA newspapers before ending up at The Charlotte Observer, where he helped the paper win the Pulitzer Prize for Meritorious Service. From there, he wound up shooting for big names like ESPN magazine and Sports Illustrated. One shoot he focused on for a long time in class was a Bulls-Heat game he worked on for ESPN magazine. The idea of the shoot was a day in the life; of 10 photographers, Bob's assignment was to follow one player (apologies, I'm not a basketball/Miami Heat fan, I can't remember the name of the player right now) throughout the day. He got behind-the-scene shots of him eating breakfast, getting ready for the game, traveling to the game, going to dinner after the game and him going home at the end of the day. During the game he was one of the photographers on the floor for action shots. We got to look at the pictures he took and he would add in stories, advice, and instructions on how he got certain shots. He is now freelancing and running his own company because he grew tired of the demands of constant traveling (something that sounds pretty ideal to most people my age...or maybe just me), and showed us examples of advertising shooting he's done. Sports and advertising, both something I'm highly interested in now because of Bob!<br />
<br />
Friday at SMAD Day Bob also gave a lighting presentation, a hands-on way of inspiring new lighting ideas and setups for shoots. In fact, I'm going to the studio tonight and going to try some of the ideas he showed us with the lights I have to work with.<br />
<br />

As the weeks go by we gradually add more lights into the frame. One week we added in a hair light in addition to our umbrella and reflector. My model was my roommate, Erin, and her red hair was the perfect shade to work with. The following shots were all taken at a 200 ISO.<br />

When I asked first my parents for a camera in 2009, my requirements were that it was "big like Dad's, has a big zoom in the front and takes good quality pictures." If you couldn't tell I was an amateur yet, I just gave it away. I'm sure after a few months of diving deeper into the world of photography I'll know exactly what I should have asked for that Christmas. But since I'm not there yet, I can say that I'm extraordinarily happy with my camera, as it does everything I first asked it to do.<br />
<br />
On that winter wonderland morning I unwrapped a Nikon D5000. It's pretty basic, and has a LCD screen that flips out and can take videos. It came with a lens of 18-55mm.<br />
<br />

<br />
This camera has led to a great lineage of gift ideas for my parents each holiday. My camera case didn't come with the camera that first Christmas, so for my birthday in February, guess what I got in the mail? I'd just like to point out my mom's creative edge to monogramming a gift such as a camera bag:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k-Rem_HDqB8/TwKL4bXcNoI/AAAAAAAAANw/VUkO3DCtiqs/s1600/IMG_1296.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k-Rem_HDqB8/TwKL4bXcNoI/AAAAAAAAANw/VUkO3DCtiqs/s320/IMG_1296.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I'm about to turn 22 and yes, I still have that on my bag. Christmas the next year I got an AWESOME spy lens, a 55-300mm..which means if you are across the room from me, chances are I can zoom in on your eyeball. It's just the way it is. It was amazing to have when I was studying abroad and I wanted to zoom on monuments or buildings, or European people across the street.<br />
<br />
<i>Thing I first learned about the spy lens:</i> Great for detail, terrible for landscapes.<br />
<br />
So that's pretty much all the information I can provide about it. Here are some deets I gathered from <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond5000/">some research</a> for the more advanced, techy photographers who want to know more:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>It's an upgrade from the Nikon D60 but sits below the D90. I hope I'm not the only one that doesn't wonder why they went from the tens to the thousands.</li>
<li>12.9 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor (effective pixels: 12.3 million)</li>
<li><span class="green" style="color: #33ff33;"></span>2.7" tilt and swivel LCD monitor (230,000 dots)</li>
<li>Movie capture at up to 1280 x 720 (720p) 24 fps with mono sound</li>
<li>Live View with contrast-detect AF, face detection and subject tracking</li>
<li>Image sensor cleaning (sensor shake)</li>
<li>11 AF points (with 3D tracking)</li>
<li>IS0 200-3200 range (100-6400 expanded)</li>
<li>4 frames per second continuous shooting (buffer: 7 RAW, 25 JPEG fine, 100 JPEG Normal)</li>
<li>Expeed image processing engine</li>
<li>Extensive in-camera retouching including raw development and straightening</li>
<li>Connector for optional GPS unit (fits on hot shoe)</li>
<li>New battery with increased capacity</li>
<li>72 thumbnail and calendar view in playback</li>
</ul><div>So there you go! Please feel free to add any suggestions or tips as I go along. </div>Rachel Ramseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13446369395651246912noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206038000396546036.post-59069766441057225652012-01-02T20:44:00.000-08:002012-01-02T20:44:26.908-08:00Round OneSo, I'm about to begin my last semester of my educational career. I know, I know. I've known it was coming. It doesn't stop the fact that now I have a mere 14 weeks left to cram in everything I've wanted to do in 18 years of going to school. On that list is to have a blog (developed more toward the college end of the spectrum, not the pre-K direction..like I know you were thinking) that is:<br />

<ul><li>a) not a class assignment</li>
<li>b) not a temporary 3-month journal to keep my family updated while I'm abroad. </li>
</ul><div>If you knew me before I started this blog, you know that I've previously done two blogs, both in that category. If you knew me way before those blogs..you knew I had a Xanga. Unfortunately, one my requirements for this blog was to have it NOT be a journal of my life and postings of inside jokes, because I know that even if people do want to read that for some weird reason, I certainly don't in five years. I'll stick to the traditional paper-and-ink method for memories I would like to keep for the future. Facebook is doing enough of tracking my life history. </div><div><br />
</div><div>On to the next one. I love taking pictures. I've loved it since the day of the disposable camera. I will always love taking pictures. But I know there is way more to it than clicking a button and capturing moments. So, here I go on my journey of becoming a legit photographer. It helps that this semester I'm taking the long-awaited SMAD 225, Photojournalism class. Hopefully you stumble on this one day as you are surfing the web doing everything but what you're supposed to be doing! And hopefully it won't bore you so you scramble to the next distraction as quickly as possible.</div>Rachel Ramseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13446369395651246912noreply@blogger.com0
