She had her clothing, her pearls, I had my DIY lamps (which one broke and I still don't understand how), and I did her hair.

digital photography class I took as an elective when I started college.  I never was able to do it but, as of November 2011, I decided that 2012 was going to be my year one way or another.  2012 started and I kept http://jackiriphoto.blogspot.com/2012/05/studying-my-waykind-of.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jackiri Photo)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104326816369731400.post-2601418517730054066Thu, 03 May 2012 17:05:00 +00002013-08-23T19:20:55.131-03:00 I'd like to share a photo of one of the assignments we had in our photography class.  It was a replica shoot.  We had to choose a photograph from a magazine or website and try to replicate it.  It didn't have to be exact.  It was mostly a lighting assignment: find out where the light was coming from and what kind of lighting was used.  We had a choice of either http://jackiriphoto.blogspot.com/2012/05/replica-shoot.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jackiri Photo)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104326816369731400.post-3472683700436751749Wed, 02 May 2012

where there was a mix-up that I didn't know about until it was too late to do anything about it.  It caused me to have to pay for school and I just couldn't afford it, so I had to drop out.  =o( It

my class program.  {sigh}  I don't know why things get so difficult, really.  It's like they have no clue how to work things sometmes.  It just reminded me of the last time I was a student there.

the tech next time I go) and the photos came out very VERY good.  HAHAHA I photoshopped some photos from my first shoot and I still have others I want to process.  As soon as I'm done with that I'll

RAW option I had the RAW & L option which basically meant I was going to have two copies (one RAW and one JPG) of each shot.  It also didn't help that I was bracketing.  To see the images in RAW I can't use http://jackiriphoto.blogspot.com/2010/10/finally.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jackiri Photo)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104326816369731400.post-3456449837099969098Fri, 08 Oct 2010 03:47:00 +00002013-08-23T19:18:35.153-03:00 Yesterday, I had my first photo shoot.  It was the portrait shooting I had mentioned before.  I wasn't sure how it was going to go because I expected other models to also be there, but there was only one other one.  My "mom" model is such an awesome person.  I've known her for quite a few years, so when I was wondering who to use as a model when I started school,

better.  I mean, although I couldn't get my pins to stand the way I wanted I am pretty happy with the outcome.  The shoes?  Nooooooooooooot so much.  Of course, my lazy self COULD'VE ironed the background.  I think http://jackiriphoto.blogspot.com/2010/10/dop-assignment.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jackiri Photo)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104326816369731400.post-6896134171928413085Wed, 29 Sep 2010 15:18:00 +00002013-08-23T19:17:21.612-03:00 Just in case I hadn't told you before.  I'm taking three classes this semester: Intro to Photography, Photographic Illumination, and Intro to...Computers.  (another issue I'll mention some other time hehehe).  Anyways, after the whole history and theory at the beginning of each and every class I've taken and will probably take, now we get to the good stuff.

We had ten points to give out to each photo. I personally can't really give out points just to give them out. I like to be fair, so I made my own little categories to distribute the points: 2 points - composition 2 points - sharpness / blurring 2 points - color / light 4 points - idea (meaning if I personally liked the idea behind http://jackiriphoto.blogspot.com/2010/09/votes-are-in.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jackiri Photo)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3104326816369731400.post-4008144826862048695Tue, 28 Sep 2010 02:28:00 +00002013-08-23T19:15:25.122-03:00 For my illumination class, we were given some terms we had to define. Then, we had to hand in those defined terms with a photograph representing each one.  Below you'll find a a video showing the photos I chose from the many shots I took, and if you visit my Flickr Photostream you'll find the photos I turned in.
