Semester Final Exam 3

 ^ This photo is using the photography rule leading lines. It's using leading lines with the lanes on the track the lines help capture the moment and whats really going on. They are all racing for first place and without the lines being there and the photographer not capturing that we wouldn't know that.

 ^ This photo is using the rule simplicity. The photographer captured the man speaking with the clear blue sky as its background. The speaker is obviously an important person and the only thing the photographer wanted to focus on

^ This photo is using the rule of creating depth. The photographer did this by using the bushes all around in the photo. The photographer used it far away, and also up close, creating a three dimensional picture.

^ This photo is using the rule framing. The photographer used the crowd to frame the main subject of the photo which is the dog. By using framing it shows what's actually happening. The dog is running or maybe even racing as the crowd (the frame) cheers him on.

Self Portraits and Portraits

Best tips-
1) background is key.
2) Use both auto and manual focus


Environmental portrait-

I picked these two photos because they really capture the nature background and also focus on the person itself.

Casual Portrait-

I picked these two photos because they aren't too focused on the background, it's just simple. 

I picked these two photos because they both look really fancy, and formal. 

photography self portrait-

I love these two photos because the first one is simple and beautiful! The second one is goofy yet serious. 

Planning ahead-

 I plan to take a simple cute portrait, with either a plan white background. Maybe in front of a wall, or in the green courtyard. I'll use auto and even manual focus as well.

The Three Pillars of Exposure: Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed

  APERTURE

 ^^ F 16

^ F 2.8

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?

-The human eye. 

2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture IS LARGER, the higher the Aperture IS SMALLER.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?

It will either cause the background to blur out, or stand out.

______________________________________________________________________________

SHUTTER SPEED 

^^ Fast shutter speed

^^Slow shutter speed

• a.) the dunking booth
• ---Fast shutter speed
• b.) the food eating contest
• ---Fast shutter speed 
• c.) the rock climbing wall
• ---Slow shutter speed 
• d.) someone working at a booth
• ---Slow shutter speed
• e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
• ---Slow shutter speed 
• f.) the Diamonds performance.
• ---Fast shutter speed  

3 settings.. auto mode, shutter priority,  and manual mode.

____________________________________________________________________________

ISO

 

 

 

1. What are the advantages of shooting with a higher ISO setting at a sporting event like a night football game?

It catches the action shots. 

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?

Less sensitive

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?

 More sensitive. 

• F4 
• ---1/112 sec
• F5.6 
• ---1/60 sec
• F8
• ---1/60 sec
• F11
• ---1/60 sec
• F16 
• --- 1/30 sec
• F22
• ---1/15 sec

The background gets darker, and unfocused.

What's In Your Bag?

A Time I Was Brave

A time I was brave was on Halloween 2013.. I was being really brave when we had to get out of our house the morning of the flooding. I did everything I could to stay calm. It was really scary... can't even explain!

Quick Write: Room

My room is a super hot pink. It always really clean because I can't stand it being dirty. I have a long mirror, and a vanity also a long dresser. I'm most proud of how everything matches. Pink and green :) my mom used to work at Lack's furniture before they closed down, So I always got new furniture.

Masters of B&W photography part 3

I see . . . a beautiful cheetah. 

The cheetah is standing tall. 

I see the cheetah maybe searching for pray. 

I smell . . . the smell of grass.

I smell the smell of heat. 

I smell scared animals ready to run from their hunters.

I hear . . . silence.

I hear the wind running through the grass and trees.

I hear animals roaring. 

I taste . . . the heat outside.

I taste the sweat. 

I taste the fear if being close to these wild animals.

I feel . . .scared because of how close the animals are. 

I feel worried I'll get attacked.

I also feel at peace because these wild animals are so beautiful. 

I'd probably create a poster with the photographers name, and a couple of his/her BEST photos to show what they are about. 

Academic shot reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you?
Some classes were testing and the teachers didn't allow us in.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
Focusing, bluring out the background.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
Go into way more classes then we did this time.

4. What things would you do the same?
Get kids actually working.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?
Interesting angles is my favorite.

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?
Rule of the thirds.

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
Simplicity and balance. I can do more research on them. Or ask. 

Academic Shots

1. How well did you follow the rule?
Followed the rules pretty well, many classes were testing so it was hard.
2. What is the subject (be very very specific)?
Students in class learning.
3. Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is?
Yes.
4. If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently?
I would have took more time, But being on a 15 time limit was difficult. Also more variety of classes.
