The quarantine it was hard for me from the Begging, I was running out of things to do and was losing interest in school. But, I learn some good lesson during those alone times. I have never drown a picture before and I hate doing it because I thought It was a hard thing to do, during the quarantine I decided to learn new things and tried to challenge myself. So, I started on making small video together and my computer started acting up because it is no good, I think more and decide to try drawing animal which I think will be easy for me. since I have been know that I'm smart and I can do anything as you can see when you take a look at my drawing picture bellow.

Today I am going to talk to you about what I do and my worries during the quarantine. well, during this time I mostly focus on my homework and get my late homework to my teacher. Everyday is a challenge to me around that time because I don't really have plan for the next day and my schedule is pretty mess up. to make myself busy I workout everyday for a long period of times, if someone in the property where I live needs help I will be the first one to be present during the quarantine, like you will see in one of the video when my Physics teacher also my coach ask me to go taking care of the fencing room, because somehow water get into the building where the fencing room equipment are. It is pretty much what I do and open myself to help others.

well, If you did not know I am from Haiti living in NJ (USA) as an International student. My family are home in Haiti, I have two brother and my mother did not have a chance to bring a girl into our life, but it's okay. During this pandemic I stay in the U.S. in my school property which seems to be my new home, mostly everything has been close around the world and seem to have a lot of free time, at the same time we wasting it by doing nothing. This video bellow will show you how the majority of the population in my country not really believe in what is going on in the world which making my anxiety leveling up, because their thing Haiti is too hot for the pandemic to reach there, also some of them thinks that it's the government that is trying to get money from other place by saying some people in Haiti having the corona. as you can see in the video no one wearing a mask, just a regular day in Haiti, people are selling stuff by the street, people are out all the time, mostly during the day. I know it is hard for them to stay inside for a period of time because most people in Haiti are poor and eat fresh food everyday like bread and other stuff, we don't have electricity all day, everyone has to go out to get food everyday that's how we live. I hope God save the land in let them find the cure for this pandemic.

Evening/Night at Times Square- Ian

We went on the NYC trip in the evening/night time in order to capture pictures that we were not able to during the day time. One type of photos that came out differently at night were the bottom up pictures of buildings with the sky in the background. These pictures evoked a completely different mood than the same picture would have in the daytime. Also, the scale of the building is harder the see with the sky being black. Another type of picture I was able to take was photos with light drawing. I was able to do this by extending the shutter speed and shaking the camera after pressing the shutter button. This technique completely distort the photo, however, it creates an abstract display of lights.

Ahnad's Evening in Times Square

On May 23rd I took a trip to Times Square during the night time to capture the details of lights all around. The reason we went at night was because during the daytime you wouldn't be able to see how the lights in the city really look. In the first picture the leading lights of the diner caught my attention so I used the -1 aperture to show more details. For the second picture the red flare of the light seemed appealing as it was surrounded by white light, I used the -1 aperture and took the photo on an angle.

Evening/Night at Times Square

The reason behind this trip was that we wanted to see how New York was at night time and how the lights would react. As you can see in the pictures above, the lights came out the way they did in the top and bottom picture because the shutter speed was set to be open for for a longer time. This was able to be accomplished by using the TV mode which stands for "time value" mode, this is how the light reacted the way they did. For the picture in the middle i set the shutter speed to be open for a very minimal amount of time but set the aperture so that light could come in, and the results where fantastic. Overall the trip in my opinion was a success and i could not have been any more happy with the outcome.

Evening/Night at Time Square Carlos Espinal

We went to Time Square at night because our assignment was to take photographs of the lights at time square. Finding the right setting for the camera was hard because some lights and some locations were brighter than others. One of my favorite photos from this trip was a lamp In a piano store. I was no allowed to go inside the piano store so I took the photograph from out side.  My second favorite photo was the H&S art sing because the background is completely dark and there is a nice leading line.  My third photo is called Shake Shack light streak. Doing  a light streak photo was difficult because I did not have the right equipment to do it and I had to play a lot with the settings of the camera until i finally got it right.  It was a nice trip at the end and over all I had a lot of fun I I wish I could repeat it again. 

Night at Times Square

The class took a trip to Time square at night. The class arrived around 6:30 and took photos so we can have photos to compare to the ones we take at night. The reason we took pictures at night was to capture the lights.My first photo was during the day i keep the EV at 0 to see what will happen, choosing 0 Ev was the best choose. My next picture was taken at night around 8:30 when i first took the picture it was too dark to see, so i put the EV at -0.3. My last picture was taken around the same time as the second one. I used the same setting for this picture as i did for the second one. 

Evening/ Night at Times Square – Chris Alicea

Our trip to Times Square New York, was a new and interesting experience because most photos taken in our class was either indoors or in broad daylight. We went at night in order to capture the essence  of light in darkness and how we could can be bring it to life. Walking around at night, I noticed New York was as lively as it would be in day time; busy streets, sidewalks filled with people– but what stood out most were the lights. With the lights brightening up the city, I was able to capture things that most people wouldn't normally notice– the light bulbs above them– the color, pattern, shape, and and intensity. What was invisible to everyone was the streaks of lights from the cars. By prolonging the shutter speed, the camera allows to blur the image. What I did was set my camera on a steady platform and set a timer of 10 seconds while, pointed at a busy street while thew cars move across. The only the the camera captures is the light and how it moves with the car while darkening the surroundings.

Evening at Time Square Jack

We went on a trip to Time Square at night because we wanted to explore our cameras ability to manipulate light. I was able to take a picture of the flood light while it was still bright outside and make the picture look like it was taken at midnight. I used a long shutter speed to to capture lights while they were moving with a low ISO to create light trails. For the picture of the floodlight, i used a fast shutter speed with an ISO of 800 used -2 for the exposure compensation. Going to New York at night was very different then any other time we went because we had to use our cameras in a different way to capture the trails of light and capturing the contrast between the artificial lights and the night sky. sky

May 23, 2018 NYC night trip

We went at night because you aren't able to get the same pictures as during the daytime. The Picture you see here I wouldn't be able to take during the morning. During the daytime the light would most likely be off or not good enough for a picture. The photos would look plain and it would have no meaning. These photos have life in them they show something about New York. 

Night at Time Square David

 On Wednesday evening we went to New York, with the sole purpose of taking pictures of light. This is why we went to Time Square at night. This tip was the best one during this course because I learned this awesome technique with the shutter speed, where the lights stand out and look blurry.

Night at Times Square

I captured the photos above at New York times square. We were required to take photos of lights and I'm glad I did my best in doing so. The three photos above marks the ending of my photography class. I enjoyed this class  a lot and learned good lessons.
