I took two of these shots in the orchestra room because that is where i spend most of my time. I play the viola and am practicing a lot. One of my shots is of the dome because i love that when people come to our school for events they are always so amazed that it is so big.

HDR NOTES

HDR Notes

-High Dynamic Range
-The best way to show what our eyes see
-used a lot in video games
-glorified neutral density filter
-need bracketed images
- should always reduce contrast through tone mapping
-HDR DOESN'T HAVE TO LOOK ARTIFICIAL
-minimal motion, but you do not always have to use a tripod
-adding HDR to a photo that doesn't need it gives it a dull fake look
-you actually have to work to get HDR photos to look good 
-the photos look the best with nature
-you can take 5 shots for s larger bracket
-HDRI: high dynamic range imaging
-better in direct light
-even great photographers with amazing cameras can't capture all of the image

This is my sketchbook cover i worked on. I have pictures i took this summer and a few from a while ago to show how much ive grown. My quote is "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery" from Bob Marley. I really like this quote because it means that you can be whatever you want, not just what you think you should be.
Contact sheet of some raw shots for HDR assignment.

These are a few examples i liked of HDR photos. These all show different elements of art used in each photo. After finding these examples i am now going to take better pictures for this project.

I took this photo of Gianni Myers for a summer photoshoot. Using a unique background and dressing her in black shows contrast and creates a busy look.
