5 station shoot

water drops

The photographer used a medicine dropper so he could control the amount of water coming out. You need more light to have less grain. You need a camera, macro 2.8 lens, a light, an optional drip kit, water, dropper, colored liquids, and a tripod.

Black acrylic glass

You would need a black background, the props, a light and black acrylic glass on the bottom. F/16 lens aperture made sure the background would be black. The photographer bought a cheap violin and painted it black for this shoot.

light punting/spinning/circles of light

You need a tripod or monopod and dark room. ISO-100, F/16+, SS-10 seconds. Spin and move the wheel around and take pictures.

bubbles/planet

This photographer took pictures of bubbles to make them look like planets with really cool colors. The bubbles are sitting in a wet ring and he would blow down a straw to excite the surface of the bubbles and to spin the colors. You need a wet ring, household detergent with a little glycerine mix, a straw, a backdrop and a light. 

focus stacking

Focus stacking is a technique used to increase depth of field in a shot with post production. It works best using a long lens or macro. You need a tripod, a macro lens, photoshop, and matt focusing screen for manual focusing. You take multiple photo and then stack them on to each other

best photo- i like her things photo the best because i really love the detail you can see on the dragon fly and how short her depth is.

least fave- my least favorite is the wildcard photo just because it think it could have been better cropped/ balanced in the frame. You stopped the action and other than the cropping its a really good photo.

2 positives- you have a really good assortment of different things and all the photos are really strong.

improve-

best portraying- i think the best portraying was your people photo of Brenda because it is a really pretty picture of Brenda and your editing in LR was really good

least portrayed- i think the least portrayed was maybe the wildcard just because you had a wildcard and you chose a photo of a person. But its a really good photo!!!!

The site showed you how to  make a good time-lapse. He explained how he chose his locations and the process of setting up a time lapse. I watched the video and it was really cool because there was so many different locations and it was cool to watch the waves and pole move around.
