D | MA 160 Photograph

Date Taken 7 October 2008 8:55PM | Camera Model Nikon D80

ISO 400 | Aperture 3.5 | Shutter Speed 1/13 sec.

For a while during Fall Quarter 2008, I actually was enrolled in 160, the Digital Photography class. I even managed to do the first project, which was to take photographs of whatever we wanted, provided they be in different kinds of lights, like fluorescent, incandescent, daylight, night, or mixed. Figuring no one would do self-portraits, I decided to try it myself, and so I tied the laces on my running shoes and went out to shoot myself while running.

This particular photograph was taken near the end of my photo shoot. I had taken plenty of daylight & incandescent pictures, but no fluorescent ones yet, so I went to the upper area of the track stadium and shot myself using the lights from the fluorescent tubes lighting the walls of the stadium. Since I was doing all this using the camera's self-timer, it was particularly coincidental that this shot came out like this, with my foot exactly on the divider line, and the motion blur done just right.
