Day 4: B&W and Downtown

By Brandon Shin

Today, the class ventured into the world of Black and White, in the morning. Black and White photography is as simple as it sounds - Photos that are in black and white or disregarding the other colors.



In the afternoon, we ventured downtown by the Houston train system and spent a couple of hours there taking photos. It was mostly just landscape photos, but we also took nature and scenery photos because we stayed at discovery green.

Day 3: Long Exposure and "Real to Fake and Fake to Real"

Image
By Anna Theriot During the third day of the photography J-Term, we did "real vs fake" photos and long exposure photography. In the morning we focused on an challenge/competition style exercise where we had to take something that was fake- like a plastic shark- and make it look real. For the flip side we had to take something real and make it look fake. During the afternoon, we did long exposure photography. One group consisting of Jadyn, Brandon, and Arwa went into the big bathroom with the shower to take photos. Another group consisting of Abby, Anna S, and Jack went into the Tinker Lab closet to photograph and my group which consisted of Callista, Cassandra, Catherine, and I went into the science lab closet to take photos.  During the last few minutes of the day, we spent some time outside taking photos using long exposure. And just to show our happiness and how much fun we are having in our J-Term:

Austin Adventure Begins......

Cassandra Wilson January 16, 2019 Today we began our adventure to Austin. When we first arrived there, we settled in our house, and traveled to downtown Austin for lunch at Hat Creek, which served burgers.  After lunch, we explored the botanical gardens where we captured many pictures of nature. Although it was a lightly raining, the mild lighting was perfect for taking close up shots of flowers and other plants. Some of these plants were even more enhanced by the rain, and others had many beautiful water drops attached to them. Also, we were able to experiment with the long exposure settings on our cameras by photographing waterfalls. Following this, we walked downtown to take photos of the city where we found many interesting architectural structures and brightly colored murals. As it it started to get darker, the trees and power lines became covered by thousands of birds whose loud chirps filled the air. For di...

Austin Trip Day 2

Image
By Catherine Hudson On our second day in Austin, we woke up around 8.00 and cooked ourselves a breakfast of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. We also made packed lunches for the road.  We then drove to the Hamilton Pool where we spent the next few hours. The waterfall and streams there gave us some more opportunities to take pictures with the long exposure setting. The distinct teal color of the water also provided some cool shots. While we were there, some of us enjoyed swimming despite the cold water and, we later had a nice picnic in the sun.  After the Hamilton pool we then drove all the way to Enchanted Rock, unfortunately, only to discover that it was closed for hunting this week. This then led to an impromptu trip to Fredericksburg. There, we walked around and had fun going into some of the old local stores.  In the evening, we headed back towards Austin and had dinner all together at Red's Porch. Overall we all had a lot of fun on ...
