Downtown Chicago
I took this picture of downtown Chicago from Shedd Aquarium. I was trying to capture the skyline, but a little too much light got onto the film. I was also trying to get the contrast between red/green on buildings' top, instead of the yellowish color from the street light. I'll probably have to tone down the aperature.
Field Museum
Here, I was standing in front of the Field Museum of Natural History. I wanted to capture the tree lights as well as entrance to the Field Museum/totem pole/marqee. This is using a flash to highlight the subject (me) and also allow the background lights to enter. I used a tripod and the camera self-timer to take this picture.
Field Museum 2
I was suppose to be in the picture in this last exposure of the roll, but the self-timer went off before I could get to the backpack and be in the picture. I was trying to use the red-eye reduction when the flash is activated to brighten the subject.
My Parents
Here is a picture of my parents. I used the auto exposure setting, where the camera automatically sets everything. This is the easiet setting one can use. With the flash, everything looks bright.
Falling Jenga Blocks
While my sister was playing Jenga with my dad, I took a picture using fast motion setting. I focused on the Jenga blocks, hoping that it would fall when the wrong block was removed. I wanted to catch the falling in stop motion. Luckily, I was able to catch my sister's facial expression, which was out of focus because the blocks were the center of focus.
