Warm-up

Warm-up 1. At the beginning I felt happy seeing the couple come together and be happy. As the pictures went on I became sad and started to feel the emotions that the husband must of felt and captured in the images. 2. I think this comment showed that the pictures were showing their life every step of the way as they felt they saw it. He wanted to capture each moment so that he could look back on them and remember his journey with her from beginning to end. 3. I think if I were in this situation I wouldn't want to capture those moments because they would make me sad. If I was strong enough to capture them and not cry every time I saw them then I think it would be cool to share the little moments with the world so everyone could see how I felt and what I had to live with everyday. 4. I would tell him that I have seen people who have showed how hard it is to have a loved one with cancer and not knowing what's going to happen next. When someone has cancer everyday is a blessin...

Black and White Photographers 3

Image
1) This picture caught my eye because you can feel movement in the river. I like how the photographer included many different aspects in the photo. 2) I see the mountains in the background with the clouds hovering above them. I also see the river flowing throughout the picture. The sun is hiding within the clouds in the background.  I smell the fumes from the forest of trees nearby. I smell the fresh water as it flows to the ocean. The fresh smell of flowers enters my nose.  I hear the birds and owls hiding in the forest. I hear the water hit the land nearby. The buzz of bugs flying around my face catches my ear.  I taste the humidity from the clouds above me. As the water flows below my mouth waters for some fresh water. I taste the fresh water from nearby.  I feel the cool breeze blowing across the mountain top. I feel the spiky pines from the trees poking me as I walk to set up my camera. I feel the condensation from the clouds above the mountains touch ...

Aperture. Shutter Speed and IOS

Image
f/16 or higher f/2.8 1) You should closely relate aperture to your eye and how the pupil gets bigger and smaller. 2) The smaller the aperture the larger the f stop, the larger the aperture the smaller the f stop. 3) The smaller the f stop is the greater focus on the subject there is. The larger the f stop is the smaller the focus is on the subject. If the f stop is small then the picture is very focused and the background in blurred out. If you have a larger f stop then the picture is focused on multiple things and the background is clearly visible.   slow shutter speed high shutter speed Beginning of the night: a) slow b) slow c) high d) high e) slow f) high End of the night: a) slow b) slow c) high d) slow e) slow f) slow 2) If your camera is in aperture priority mode then you have to set the aperture but the shutter speed is set. If the camera is in manual mode then you have to set the shutter speed a...

Academic Shoot Critic

http://andresphotojournalismblog.blogspot.com I like how the student used the rule of lines in the first pictures to make the trophies stand out more. I also like how he used the rule of thirds in the third photo by adjusting the subject to the top of the photo. I think that he could of had a better focus on his pictures to make the subject more clear. He could also make the lighting better in the second photo.

Academic Shoot Reflection and Critic

1. Some challenges I faced getting photos for this shoot were whenever I tried to take a picture of students working on classwork they would always look at the camera. Some people moved a lot and waved at the camera which made it hard to get a good focused shot. I also felt weird getting close to people to get a focused picture. 2. I found myself thinking a lot about getting a good focused picture. I also tried to make sure the student that I was trying to capture was doing something academic and being productive so I didn't just have a picture of someone sitting at a desk doing nothing. To make the pictures focused I would focus the camera on the subject for a few seconds to make sure it looked good. 3. If I had to do this assignment again I would get closer to the subjects so that I could get a clearer and more focused picture. I would also try to incorporate more of the rules of photography in my pictures. 4. I would probably get the same angles with the camera and go to t...

Photoshop Practice

Image
1. In this picture I used the rule of thirds because I put my subject off to the side in the photo so he wasn't centered. 2. The subject of my picture is the student and the cup he is writing on. The focus is on the student and the background of the classroom is blurred out. 3. I think it is clear what the subject is in my photo because the focus is clearly on the student. 1. In this picture I used the rule of simplicity because I made the focus on a specific subject in the photo. 2.  The subject of my picture is the water being poured into the cup. I made this my subject by putting my focus on the water and the cup that the water is being poured into. 3.  It is clear what the subject is because the focus is on the water and cup. 1. I think this picture I used the rule of balance because there is a student on one side and then the spiral on the other side making the picture pretty balanced. 2. The subject of my picture is the student writing in the spir...

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Image
A) Some main points I read about in the article are photoshop and photo manipulating pictures. Many photographer's made people in their pictures look skinnier or have a different tone of skin so that they were considered more "attractive". B) The philosophy of newspapers by the Washington post and the New York Times in photo manipulation is to make the pictures more appealing. Sometimes they may put other people's heads on celebrities to make the actor look thinner or more attractive. Newspapers may also combine two pictures to make everyone in the picture look up to their standards. Sometimes newspapers will also photoshop models so that they don't have as many "flaws". C) I think it is acceptable to take two photos and merge them together to make a better picture because then you can have actual pictures that you took and have the events be accurate. By merging two photos together you could maybe make sure everyone is looking away from the camera o...
