Chronophotograph. For this image i used no flash, put the camera on burst mode and had a 1/150 shutter speed.

Picture
Panning. For this image i used no flash, had a 1/10 shutter speed. I followed the car to make the camera focus on the car and have a blurry background.

Panning. Same technique as above.

Picture
Blurred Motion. I used a slow shutter speed and made my subject stand as still as possible while the car went by. No flash.

Picture
Blurred motion. This was an unplanned photograph; i was originally going to take a picture of Nicole with a car being blurred in front of her, but sammy decided to step in and since i was using a slow shutter speed there was nothing i could do. But the end result turned out better than expected!

Picture
Frozen motion. I used no flash because the light in Mitchell's garage was relatively bright. I used a fast shutter speed to capture this shot.

Frozen Motion. Same technique as above.

Before
After
(Some of the original pictures were either lost or deleted, so for some of them the before image is not the original but is very close to what the original looked like.)
 
For this picture, the only special setting i used was no-flash because i liked the natural light. I decided to use this image to represent fall because when i think of fall, i think of walking around and hearing the leaves crunch, and seeing the leaves change colours. I also only wear these boots during the fall, so they kind of represent fall to me in a more personal way.
 
I took these pictures on a recent trip to Stanley Park; it was a perfect day to take pictures because the light wasn't too bright and the leaves were just starting to change, providing more diversity of colour.
I love this picture because of the array of colours and how there's
 an old building with the modern city behind it.

I didn't like this picture so much at first, but then I photoshopped it to make the red brighter and more of a statement. I really like how well the whitehouse naturally contrasts with the gloomy grey background.
I have absolutely no idea who this couple is, but I couldn't resist taking a picture of them. They look so content, just enjoying each other's company. I also love the sail boats in the background and how the concrete railing and the couple contrast against the grey ocean.

This is just a simple shot of the front of the camera. We used the simple white background so that people's focus would go straight to the camera.

Picture
In this photo, our goal was to show that the camera could be used to "capture memories" and that it's very portable.

Picture
This is a simple image of the camera's features. We wanted to show how easy it was to use and that it had a viewing screen.

Picture
We wanted to show that the camera was durable, small, and light enough to use in an outdoor setting, and that it could be taken with you anywhere.

Finally, we wanted to show the camera's more technical aspects in yet another simple shot with a plain white background.

 
The most challenging thing about this assignment was, undoubtedly, trying to find the letters in our everyday world. When you're just going about your life, you don't notice things like that. However, after a day or two of looking, i started to see letters all over the place and the assignment became relatively easy. The letter that i absolutely could not find anywhere though, was an M, the letter I used a "cheat" for.
 
For this assignment, we took advantage of different point of views and the positioning of the camera to create trick shots that play with various sizes and the impossible.
Picture
To do this shot, we simply played with perspective and distance to create the illusion that Sydney is very large and sitting on a regular sized picnic table.

Picture
To create the illusion that our friends (Lauren & Sammy) were on the giant hand of Alex, we utilised the perspective and positioning of the camera.

Picture
We created the illusion that Alex's giant arm/hand was about to pick up a trash can by using distance and
