Final Project: Moving lights

 Pictures are all taken in Laie & Hauula.

My final project is called "Moving lights". It is going to be capturing motion of the lights such as long exposure about 30 seconds or even longer. I like capturing the movement of the light like car and the beach, and make the pictures smooth and artistic. I would like to shoot the picture in different streets, so there will be different lighting. Long exposure is one of the favorite style that I like. It can also show us amazing picture which we cannot see is real life like the motion and slow movement. I used long shutter speed with ISO 100 and small aperture to capture the light movement. Also, tripod is necessary for the long exposure shooting.

My inspiration is from the photographer called Grzegorz Jakub Rogala. When I try to find some artwork about long exposure, his photos are impressed me a lot. I like the way how he captured the picture in a clear background, but you can still see the movement of the lights. When it combines together, it makes an amazing composition. So, I decided to work in a similar way which is also similar to my previous assignment. Please visit his blog by the link.

Natural Smile  

I actually catch her smiling, and it does not look like pretending.

Thinking  

I tell the model that be relaxed and try to think some happy thing in her life. Then, she told me that thinking of family makes her happy, and I caught the moment while she was thinking happy things.

Sincere Smiling  

This picture was taken in the faculty building in McKay area. He was actually looking outside the window and thinking something interesting.

Relaxing  

This girl is always smiling and happy. I like what she told me that she felt no stress because she finished all the assignment. I like the feeling of the relaxing in this picture.

Pure  

This girl did not make up and care about dressing. I like the pure feeling of her and she still have the feeling of pretty.
