Mergers and avoiding them-

The 3 Pillars of Exposure: Apeture, ISO, Shutter Speed

Apeture: 

F2.8 Apeture

F16 Apeture:

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

2. Finish this sentence- the smaller the aperture the larger the F-number the higher the aperture the smaller the F- number.

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

A large f-number such as f/32, (which means a smaller aperture) will bring all foreground and background objects in focus, while a small f-number such as f/1.4 will isolate the foreground from the background by making the foreground objects sharp and the background blurry.
                     Shutter: 

High Shutter speed-

Slow Shutter speed-

Questions- Reasonable light- 

- Dunking booth- high shutter speed

- The food eating contest- medium shutter speed

- The rock climbing wall- medium shutter speed

- Someone working at a booth- slow shutter speed

- The DJ/MC working at the middle of a circle- slow shutter speed

- The Diamonds performance- high shutter speed

Dark light-

- Dunking booth- medium/slow shutter speed

- The food eating contest- high shutter speed

-The rock climbing wall- high shutter speed

-Someone working at a booth- medium shutter speed

- The DJ/MC working at the middle of a circle- medium shutter speed

-The Diamonds performance- medium/slow shutter speed

Apeture Priority- you set the lens aperture while the camera automatically sets the shutter speed.

Shutter Priority- when you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically selects the aperture.

Manual- when you set both shutter speed and aperture manually.

ISO-

 ISO 200-

ISO 3200-

Questions-

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

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO? when theres too much light you should always use the lowest ISO 

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO? when theres not enough light. When you want to freeze motion.

Practice -F4- 1/125 the background is very blurry and all you can see is the couple is clear 

-F5.6- 1/60 The background is blurry and the couple is clear

-F8- 1/60 The background is blurry and the couple is kinda blurry and a little dim but its good it'd no too noticeable.

-F11-1/60 The background is kinda clear but little dark couple clear but a little dark

-F16-1/30 The background kinda clear couple kinda dark and little blurry

-F22-1/15 The background is clear but the couple is blurry

The lowest shutter speed a photographer can hand hold without using a tripod is 1/4 of a second.. I think

On the first quiz with was depth of field i did really good got 24/25 and on the second one i got all of them right! yayy for meee!

And yes I kinda understand shutter speed, aperture and ISO better

Caption Writing: 5 Ws and H

1.  Curtis Reagan steals a kiss form Louis Lane on Friday in Time Square in New York City. Reagan snatched a kiss joyfully from Lane after the announcement that the allies had defeated the Nazi ending World War II.

2. A bullet strikes Donald Smith,  on a Tuesday in Colorado at the wild west ranch. For the reason of him being in war Smith falls rapidly by the bullet of the other opponents.

Mural Photos

Great Black and White Photography Part 3

1. What first caught my eye in my photographers photos is like they way he takes them the objects he does it with.

2. I SEE ...... 2 big pine trees all over the place, big buildings

    I SMELL ..... I smell the coffee all the way down the street the hot chocolate

    I HEAR ..... the wind blowing hard every second, I hear the leaves moving I hear the cars honking to get around the dogs barking

    I TASTE ..... my dry spit from the coldness, taste my saliva,

    I FEEL .... the icy cold wind surrounding me, I feel the scratchy pointy leaves, I feel the chunks of  snow at the bottom  of my boots smashing them every step I take.


To show off my photographer I would make a poster.

Mural Project Preview

1. A unique mural that tells a unique Akins story would be having a little bit of everything that makes this school I would have the Diamond Dazzlers, Marching Band, every sport and the clubs just everything that represents this school.

2. Its worth devoting time time and effort to capture because it just explains and shows the extra curriculums. It'll be interesting.

3. Advantages and disadvantages of using a phone camera some disadvantages Their usual fixed-focus lenses and smaller sensors limit their performance in poor lighting.The principal advantages of camera phones are cost and compactness

4.The size limitations of compact and ultra-compact cameras, including digital ones, encourage the occurrence of photographic orbs — unexpected, typically circular artifacts that occur in flash photographs — where the short distance between the lens and the built-in flash decreases the angle of light reflection to the lens, directly illuminating the aspect of the normally sub-visible particles facing the lens and increasing the camera's ability to capture the light reflected off the particles.

5. They should not use the SLR camera for this project because it dosnt show full out. 

Africa and Mural Project Preview

1. My reactions to the power point was shocking I loved his pictures they were so clear and you could see closely the animals and there reactions the details they were in the middle of the setting.

2.

3. This was my favorite picture because first of all  the Cheetah is my favorite animal ever. And well this is my favorite picture because it has a good angle and view of the cheetahs it looks like there looking out for enemies there protecting their family.

4. Some rules of photography in this picture would be patterns.

Nick Brandt-

a. What kind of camera did he use? He uses a Pentax 6711 with only two fixed lenses.

b. What is his reason for taking the photos? being close to the animals make a huge difference in his ability to reveal their personality.

 c. What is his hope by taking these types photos? Is in showing the animals simply in the state of of Being. In the state of being before they are no longer are.
d. Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on the blog. Fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa.

Academic Shoot Reflection

1.What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? I tried thinking of every rule and what types of angles and people were moving not holding still.

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. I thought about the most would be like types of angles and holding the camera also trying to focus. I did to do this correctly is just getting in there.

4. What things would you do the same? A thing I would do the same is keep thinking of different ways of finding these rules.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve. the easiest to achieve would be lines.

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture? faming

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on what and can you do to figure out what that rule is? look it up for more examples of it one rule that I'm still not clear about is rule of thirds.

4. If I didn't follow the rule well what could you have done differently? I could of done differently by maybe having a different frame or the way i took it.

Rule of Thirds:

Photo Manipulations and Ethics

This article is about a photographer named Menahem Kahana some messed with his image someone at the newspaper used Adobe Photoshop or a similar software program to remove female ministers.While cloning over people in a portrait is a terminal offense at most U.S daily newspaper image manipulation has recent precedents in the middle east. This type of photo editing is unethical.

I think these were the most unethical because the first one and the bottom one were both created to make the middle one.

 These I thought these were the least unethical because you can bearly tell whats the difference and theres like color darkening. Its not as bad as the others.
