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.

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.

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.
