I took this photo at a volleyball game at MVHS. I walked to the right side of the court to get a better shot of the outside hitters and I was able to capture this photo. I turned highlights all the way down when I was editing to minimize the shine from the windows and the floor. I also turned down the tint slightly to adjust for the yellow lighting from the gym floors, before turning up whites and exposure slightly to brighten the photo.
I took this photo at a local celebration for the 113th Taiwan National Day. During the celebration, I wandered through the crowd, capturing moments that stood out: energetic children captivated by bright flags, busy yet enthusiastic organizers and an elderly couple sharing tea peacefully.
When the flag-raising ceremony began, the celebratory mood turned solemn so I rushed to the front to capture this emotional shift. Although there were many potential subjects, the dappled sunlight made it difficult for me to find a subject who wasn’t awkwardly shaded. After maneuvering around a man in blue, as seen in the bottom right edge of the photo, I was able to capture this moment.
I took this photo at a volleyball game at MVHS. I used the rule of thirds and a shutter speed of 800 to capture this photo. I turned the aperture to 4.0, as low as my camera goes.
I went into the swim meet knowing I wanted to capture a shot like this where the swimmer was centered and the individual water droplets were captured. The lighting outside was fairly bright, so I was able to turn the ISO down by a lot compared to indoor sports, and because the water droplets moved slower than I expected, I could also turn the shutter speed down.
