Photography Show 2009 - Depth of Field

This was my favorite category. Students tried to demonstrate a narrow depth of field, which the foreground and background are out of focus and middle ground in focus or somewhere in between. A lot of people said they had a hard time deciding on this one. Joe Howell's close-up of the vine won 1st place. Well done.

Photography Show 2009 - Shutter Speed

For this category, students were asked to demonstrate the fast shutter speeds of our camera. The fastest that we can take is 1/2000 of a second. We had fun studying examples and learning about how the shutter speed and light work together. This was also a close one, but Juan's photo of the faucet drip got the most votes. Well done everyone!

Photography Show 2009 - Sports

This was a challenging category. We had lots of great entries and I think the students had fun with it. Juan Segura's football kick shot won the prize. Nice job.

Photography Show 2009 - Individual

This was a category where students did their own individual ideas using what they have learned about their cameras. I lumped these with the mystery photos category. I thought they all turned out great. Very artistic! It was a very close race, but Joe Howell won this one with his photo of the oil grate at Valvoline.

Photography Show 2009 - Architecture

Students chose different techniques and methods to capture architecture photos in their own unique way. Juan Segura's photo from a trip to the Plaza won 1st place for this category. Well done.

Photography Show 2009 - Animals

This was a difficult category, but I thought all the entries were great. Corban Allenbrand took 1st place with the photograph of his dog at the stairs.

Photography Show 2009 - Nature

This category was the favorite of viewers and students alike. It was a very close race but Joe Howell won 1st place with his photograph of the blooming tree.
