ISO

Image
1. The advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at a basketball or football game is that you can one picture that is sensitive perfectly, instead of 16 bad blurry pictures. It would also help the picture have better focus. 2. You should always try to stick to the lowest ISO, whenever possible. You should use when there is plenty of light. 3. You shows use high ISO when there is not enough light for the camera to take a quickly. Anytime you are shooting indoors is a place where you should use high ISO.

Shutter Speed

High Shutter Speed Low Shutter Speed 1A-  A. slow shutter speed B. slow shutter speed  C. high shutter speed D. high shutter speed E. slow shutter speed F. high shutter speed 1B-  A. slow shutter speed B. slow shutter speed C. high shutter speed D. slow shutter speed E. slow shutter speed  F. slow shutter speed 2. One setting regarding shutter speed is Manual mode, and it is where you put the shutter speed and  aperture manually. The 2nd setting regrading shutter speed is Shutter Priority mode, where you set the shutter speed and the camera natural chooses the aperture. The last setting regarding shutter speed is Aperture Priority mode, where you set the lens aperture, but the camera naturally chooses the shutter speed.

Aperture

Image
F2.8 F16 1) The part of the body we should closely relate to the aperture is the human eye. 2) The smaller the Aperture the smaller the size of the pupil, the higher the Aperture the larger the size of the pupil. 3) Aperture impacts the Depth of Field, because the Depth of the Field is the area of the image where it is sharp. So if the Aperture is smaller (higher number), the background will be focused. If the Aperture is higher (lower number), it will make the background blurry and isolate the subject.

Academic Shoot Critique

http://andresphotojournalismblog.blogspot.com 1. I really liked how you captured lines, aligning the trophies and the roof lines. Another thing I liked was how you showed balance, with the 2 kids playing the French Horn at opposite sides of each other, creating balance. 2. One thing that can be improved on the photos is the angle of them, because some them are a little sideways and uneven, but overall they are good photos.

Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1. One challenge I encountered while trying to get photos that followed the rules was trying to get a picture where people weren't looking, because many people asked questions or looked at the camera. Another challenge I encountered was trying to get people not moving or distracting others, because some people weren't working and messing around. 2. One technical aspect I found myself thinking of the most was Simplicity. One thing I tried to do to follow this rule was to get backgrounds that weren't bold or messy. If I could do this, the picture would have a better subject and focus. 3. If I could do this assignment again, the things I would do differently would be the angle of the photos. Some of my photos cut off something important and they looked bad. I would also make sure that each picture would have a subject that is clear and not hard to find. 4. The things I would do the same would be the lighting of the pictures and the focus of the pictures. The lighting was

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Image
A. One main point I read about in this article regarding photo manipulation was about the program Adobe Photoshop and how you can completely change the original picture. Another main point I read about in this article was how in the past it took someone several hours, but now in the present, it is a matter of seconds. B. The philosophy of newspapers like New York Times regarding photo manipulation is that journalism cannot be about original works of art unless it is labeled as such. They also say that sometimes their tools fail them, but they rely on what they saw and heard to edit the picture. C. I think one acceptable thing you can do to a picture and not cross the line into an unethical manipulation is adjusting the brightness either brighter or darker. Another thing acceptable thing you can do is crop D. I think this picture is the most unethical one out of all of them, because the original does not look like the edited one at all. One thing they changed that made i

Academic Shoot Post Reflection

1. In this photo, the composition rule I used was Rule Of Thirds.  You can see that the girl is on the far right and is raising her hand, aligning the subject with the invisible lines. 2. The subject of this photo is the girl that is rising her arm, because you can see she is the person who is bigger from my angle. You can also see that she is in between 2 guys on the left and one on the right, making her the focus of the picture. 3. I think it is clear what my subject is, because you can se that her rasing her arm giver her more attention then the other students in the picture. 1. In this photo, the composition rule I used was Balance. You can see that the subjects and the 2 students in the back form a triangle, which gives the picture balance. 2. The subject of the picture is the main kid in the very front, because he is the person the camera is more angled toward to. He draws more attention then anything else in the picture, because he is closer and bigger to the camera. 3

Great Black and White Photographers Part 2

Image
Lewis Hine was born on September 26, 1874 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. He died on November 3, 1940 in Dobbs Ferry, New York. He attended the University of Chicago, Columbia University, and New York University. He was an American sociologist and a photographer. He published "Men At Work," "The Empire State Building," "Lewis Hine," "Photo Story," and "Lewis Hine: The Empire State Building Photographs." There were many other books published by other people, but they used Lewis Hine's photographs.

Favorite 2012 Winner

1. I picked this photo, because I really like how the image was captured. As if time had stopped, and the paint was frozen in mid-air. 2. The rules of photography that are evident in this photo are simplicity, because it doesn't have a busy background. Another rule of photography that is evident in this photo is framing, because you know what the subject of the photo is, which is the paint. 1. I think I could take photos like the ones I saw today, in a academic classroom where kids are either having fun or are focused. 2. The classroom I would like to visit and take photos is probably a World Geography class, because theres usually a lot of class interaction. Most of the time there is also a lesson involving the projector and the teacher explaining graphs or maps. 3. As a photographer, to get amazing photos like the ones I saw today,  I'll make sure that I apply/incorporate at least 1 photography rule into my pictures. To get amazing photos, you have to think about the lig

Filling the Frame

Image
I think this is the most interesting picture, because they are sparks flying everywhere and the girl looks so focused. The frame is filled very nicely, because you know what the subject of the photographer is. The frame is nicely done, because there are not unnecessary things in the background. I is just focused on the girl and her project, which is creating the sparks.

Action and Emotion

Image
 I chose this one for action and emotion, because you can really see the emotion in the girls face, and see she is passionate. You can also see that there is action going on, because there are many boys carrying the girl. It looks like it is a musical, and musicals always involve emotion and action.

The Story

Image
This picture visually tells us a story, because you can see all the people writing their name on the board. There can be many stories as to why they are writing there names on the board, but I think the story is that they are trying to leave their mark by writing their names.  

Post Shoot Reflection

1. One challenge I encountered was trying to find something that could capture one of the prompts. When I was out shooting, I struggled deciding whether or not a picture really showed the prompt. 2. The technical aspect I found myself thinking of the most was the focusing of the camera and the lighting. Something I did to try to do it correctly was making sure the camera was still and I also made sure the lighting was too bright or dark. 3. If I could do this assignment again, something I would differently would be the position I took the photos. I would adjust the position so I could apply at least 1 rule of the 6 we learned. 4. The things I would do the same would be use the same pictures I chose for each prompt. 5. I think I achieved simplicity for my square photo, because the picture is only one color. Other than that, I don't think I had any. 6. Yes, I think I would be interested in shooting the same prompts again, because there is many things you could use to represent t

Composition 9/11

Image
Avoiding Mergers: I chose this picture for Avoiding Mergers, because the Empire State Building took the focus away from the smoke coming out of the tower. It could've been a better photo, without the Empire State Building ( merger that they should've avoid) in the picture. Balance: In this photo, the two men and the water are in an angle where they are showing balance. The water in the front is giving the effect that they are all forming a triangle. Simplicity: In this photo, there is a lot of things going on, but it is mainly focused on the women that are holding each other. Its a busy background, but there is one thing that is focused, so that shows simplicity. Framing: This photo shows framing, because the position has an effect on the viewer. Instead of just taking it really close, they took it far, so that the angle can catch the viewers attention. Lines: I chose this picture for lines, because the lines are vertical and t

The Camera History and Basic Functions

The Camera 1. The "Camera Obscura" effect is an ancient optical device. It is achieved by being inside an completely dark room and then a tiny hole is created on one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall. 2. The invention during the 17th Century that helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera was when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and projecting light onto a wall of a dark chamber. 3. The parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce were a dark box, a film, and glass lens. 4. Modern digital cameras and Niepce's camera both have something in common. They both have light passing through the lens, into the camera and exposing the film, which is what creates a photograph. 5. Digital cameras use electronic sensor called a CCD to capture an image. 6. The difference between Auto Mode and Program Mode is that when its on Auto Mode, the
