Africa

1. This is a really cool and interesting article to me because the not just the photos are great but the photographer is a really cool guy. All the answers he had to the questions were really intelligent and he seemed to have a good understanding of life. As weird as it may seem i could tell he is a really nice, cool guy. It was really interesting just how much time he put into his photos. You can really tell they mean a lot to him otherwise he wouldn't take so much time to perfect them.

3. It's a dead swan in water with a mountain in the background, i love this picture because it looks beautiful and appealing while at the same time nasty , dirty and is a decaying body.

4. It follows rules of third because the swan is slightly to the bottom right. It could be simplicity in the background because its all clear except of the mountain.

5. He docent use a telephoto lens because he wants to add as much sky and landscape in the background to add to the beauty. Getting closer to the animal is better if you want to capture its personality he says.

6. He wants to show the animals in their simple state of being before they cease to exist. He thinks the are incredibly interesting and beautiful animals but they won't be here forever.

7.To show people the beauty of these animals so they will stop being poached and sold.

8. "my images are unseeingly idyllic and romantic, a kind of enchanted Africa. they're  my elegy to a world that is steadily, tragically vanishing."

Great Black and White Photographers III

1. The First thing that caught my eye when i was viewing his photos was the dark and sadness that he's photographs have. It made me uneasy but a the same time interesting me and made me want to select them.

2.
I see Suffering and hardship

I smell blood and metal

I hear screams and explosions

I taste water and dirt

I feel Tired and scared




3. If i were showing my photographer to the world i would use a power point. It would be the perfect thing to use because i could paste one of his photos and then in the next slide describe the feelings and emotions it gives you . Also it would allow me to put as much info on as i wanted.

Mural project

1.  I think a good theme for the mural would be nature. Just think about it a mural of flowers all from around the campus  would be beautiful. Another idea i have is to have a mural of sunsets.

2.I think we should allow all cameras not just ones taken from a phone because it will add to the diversity of the mural.

3. I think we should hang them around the windows in the lunch hall and on the windows in the doors  to go into to academic building.

Peer evaluation

Two positives things about the photos are i loved the photo with the choir singing and the teacher playing the piano it looks really nice. Another thing i thought she did well was use the rules of photography.

One thing that can be improved is not merge as often in her photos and try to avoid it as much as possible.

Academic Shoot reflection and critique

1. Some challenges i faced were finding subjects to actually capture, there was a pep rally and almost all the classes were empty and to make things worse every class i would walk up to another student would be just leaving so i keep getting beat to find classes. I got creative and started looking in the halls for students working and that how i got my photos.

2. If i could redo this assignment i would defiantly try to involve some more rules like simplicity and lines because i had a couple pictures that would have been a lot better if i used rule of thirds, i didn't post them.

3. I definitely think of photo composition a lot more then then first week of school. I always try my best to make sure i don't have a merger photograph and make sure i have nice view point. For example these girls were sitting down and i stood on a chair to get a top view and it looked really nice even though i didn't post it i really liked it.

4. I would defiantly go to the same places i did, which was the hall ways. I found a lot of people sitting by themselves and working hard. It added to the affect of hard school work because there was no one around with so it was just one person and added dramatic affect.

5. I think the easiest rule to achieve is rule of thirds because its not hard to move your camera angle to position them on the corners of the picture.

6. For me i think its very hard to have a simple background because in a classroom there is so much join on its hard to find a empty simple background to your subject, so simplicity is the hardest for me.

7. I think i understand all the rules pretty well.

Academic photo shoot photo three

1. I used balance and simplicity by having a simple background and having the table look symmetrical.

2. The subject is the girl sitting on the table drawing her picture.

3. The subject is clear because i used simplicity so there is really only one thing to focus on.

4. The subject is clear.

Academic photo Shoot Photo two

1. I used lines in the photo with the book shelfs in the background, they are parallel lines and i think they look really good.

2. The subject is the boy with the pencil in his hand doing his work in the library.

3. The subject is very clear because he takes up half the photo himself and is the only significant thing in the photo.

4. The subject is clear.

Academic photo shoot photo one

1. In this picture i followed the Balance rule and the rule of thirds by having my target off to the left. There is good balance and symmetry from the tables and pillars.

2. The subject in my picture is the kid on his laptop studying.

3. Yes it is very clear that my subject is the kid because he is the only living thing in the picture and it is focused on him.

4. The subject is clear.

ISO

ISO 200

ISO 3200

1. It increases the light sensitivity so you can see better at night and will help you "freeze time" in the action pictures

2.Low IOS will have the highest quality pictures.

3. High IOS will decrease the quality.

Shudder speed

-

Slow shudder speed                                                                         High shudder speed

1. For the Example one would use a high shudder speed without flash to capture some action shots of them jumping and dancing.

2.For example two i would also use a high shudder speed because the dancing would probably be pretty fast movement. With flash because the sunlight wouldn't be good.

Aperture

F16













F2.8







1. The part of the body that is relates to is the pupil.
2. Smaller the aperture the larger the "f stop" and the larger the aperture the Smaller the "f stop"
    3.The aperture affects the depth of field by the larger the F number the whole picture, including the background will be clear. With a smaller F number the background will get blurry and the focus will be on one thing.
