F4- 1/125 of a second shutter speed looks the best to me. The background is blurry you can kind of see it, but it's clear that the couple is the subject of the photo.

F5.6- 1/60 of a second shutter speed looks the best to me. The background is getting more visible, but the couple is still the main subject in this photo.

F8- 1/30 of a second shutter speed looks the best to me. The background is way more visible then it was in the first photo. Even though the couple is kind of blurry, the photo itself is light and getting clearer.

F11- 1/60 of a second shutter speed looks the best to me. The background is clear and so is the couple, so the photo looks good with these settings.

F16- 1/30 of a second shutter speed looks the best to me. The background and couple are both clear now, but the photo is a little dark.

F22- 1/15 of a second shutter speed looks the best to me. The background and subject are clear, even though the couple is barely blurry.

The couple at slow shutter speeds get blurrier and blurrier. The photographer could maybe set up a tripod so the surface would be stable to take the photo. I think the lowest shutter speed a photographer cna handle would be 1/60 of a second shutter speed.

ISO

iso 200 ^

iso 3200 ^

1. Because if you want to capture moption in the dark, you should put it a higher iso. If there isn't enough light, you should then increase the iso.

2. He said that everyone should use low iso as much as possible because most of the time, there's going to be enough light to take a good picture.

3. He said that we should only use the high iso to quickly capture a picture in low light, and to freeze motion.

4. 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, and 6400.

2. Auto mode, shutter priority mode, or manual mode.

Auto mode- Where the camera automatically sets the shutter speed.

Shutter priority- Where you set the shutter speed yourself and the camera selects the aperture.

Manual mode- Where you set both shutter speed and the aperture by yourself.

APERTURE

                                                                     ^ F2.8 aperture setting

                                                               ^ F20 Aperture setting
1. We should relate our pupils (eyes) to aperture.
2. The smaller the aperture lens, the higher the aperture number.
3. Aperture impacts depth of field because the larger the F number, the more in focus the background images get.
4. F3.5, F4.0, F4.5, F5.0, F5.6, F6.3, F7.1, F8.0, F9.0, F10, F11, F13, F14, F16, F18, F20, F22, F25, and F29.

Africa: Black and White

I liked this powerpoint because the pictures were so cool and interesting. They were really good photos too. My favorite photo was the one with the 2 zebras because it was a clear photo and it was so close up you could see every detail of the zebras.

A. He used a Pentax 67ll with only 2 fixed lenses.
B. His reason for taking the photos is because he fell in love with the animals while directing "Earth Song", a music video for Michael Jackson.
C. His hope for taking these types of photos is because he wants to show the animals they're just like us, and they deserve to be treated just like us. He wants the animals to live because he believes that human or nonhuman, everything has a right to live. He thinks the world is vanishing before his eyes so he wants to try to save everything.
D. "The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes."

Academic shoot reflection

1. It was hard for me to get pictures of the kids because they were being stupid.

2. I was trying to focus on good lighting and good angles for all these photos. I think I got on my knees alot to get good angles for pictures.

3. I would try not to get moving objects or anything in the background of a good photo.

4. I would keep the good angles and the sharpness in the photos.

5. I think the easiest rule for me is lines.

6. I think the hardest rule to capture would be avoiding mergers.

7. I'm still kind of confused about framing and simplicity. I could ask people about the rule or look at other peoples photos.

6 rules photos

Avoiding mergers (bad photo)

I think I followed this rule good.

The subject in this photo is the girl grabbing the calculator.

Its clear to people what the subject is.

Simplicity

I think I followed this rule great!

The subject in this photo is the lady with the green shirt.

It's very clear to people what the subject is in this photo.

Lines

I think I followed this rule really good.

The subject in this photo is the blue railing.

Its clear to people what the subject is in this photo.

Rule of thirds

I think I followed this rule good.

The subject in this photo is the teacher.

It's clear to people what the subject is in this photo.

I could've turned the camera at a different angle.

Framing

I think I followed this rule pretty good.

The subject in this photo is the teacher in the front of the room.

It's clear to people what the subject is in this photo.

I could've got the teacher standing right in the middle of each row.

Balance

I think I followed this rule kind of good.

The subject in this photo is the 3 people on each side of the photo.

It's clear to people what the subjects are in this photo.

I could've gotten 3 people on each side sitting directly behind eachother.

Filling The Frame

This photo fills the frame the most because the students in the background are all busy watching the students in the circle at the table putting their hands together and laughing and smiling.

Action and Emotion

The action in this photo is that the guy in the maroon shirt is rubbing the professor's head, the girl in the grey is laughing at them, and the professor is surprised and laughing at both his students. All the people in this photo are doing something with their hands; the girl is throwing her hands up with the papers, the guy in the maroon shirt is giving a noogie to his professor, and the professor is throwing his hands up and laughing.

The Story

The story behind this photo is that 2 female chemistry students were working on a lab experiment involving only baking soda and vinegar. Somehow, they did the experiment wrong and put ice into the glass cup with the vinegar and baking soda and their lab experiment exploded everywhere! This photo tells a story because the expression on the girls' faces tells you that something had to happen that was unexpected in their experiment.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. The challenges I encountered while getting the photos for the first 3 prompts were creativity. I didn't want to do what everyone else was doing, I wanted to be unique and come up with my own ideas.

2. I think I focused mainly on focusing my photos. I really didnt want any of my photos to be blurry, and they werent. I held down the shutter button and waited for the camera to focus, then I took the photo.

3. I would focus on the background of my photo more and make the backgrounds not so cluttered, and I would also avoid mergers sauch as not putting the same colors together and not distracting people from the subject.

4. I would focus my photos are make them clear like they were the time I went out and took the red, metal, and grumpy photos.

5. On my metal photo, I think it explained the framing rule, because the background wasnt cluttered.

6. I wouldnt really like to shoot these prompts again, I think the next prompts should be more creative.

Extra credit response

I think that photo is very sad. A guy committing suicide is sad in general I guess. But if a person has his jacket with blood on it, they must've been some special person. He was a photojournalist and photographer so I dont know why he wouldve committed suicide.

Lines rule

This photo shows the lines rule because the lines are going vertical, making it look like the man is dropping down faster than he really is. The lines are blue and white, therefore creating a little eye tricking pattern in the photo.

Avoiding mergers rule

This photo shows an example of avoiding mergers because no same colors are together, and no people are cut out of the photo. The purple and white are put together in nthe flowers, and the white and green are put together in the bigger flowers. Also, there is no distracting things behind the subject, therefore drawing attention to the subject, rather than drawing attention to something else.

Framing rule

This shows the framing rule because the grass and tree are framing the girl, the girl is running away from the tree; the girl is the subject, and in the picture the tree and grass are behind her, those are the "objects" behind her.

Balance rule

This photo shows the balance rule because thereare 6 guys in the photo. 2 giuys are holding their hats, 2 guys are standing normal, and the last 2 guys are on the outsides of the pictures and half their body is cut off. All guys are wearing the same thing so that also displays balance too.

Rule of thirds rule

This photo displays rules of thirds because the stoplight is in the middle box on the top row and the middle box on the middle row. I think the photographer chose to place the spotlight there so he or she could capture the scene and what all was in the scene. The sky is orange and blue and filled with smoke, the buildings are dark and cluttered, and the stoplight is just sitting calmly in this photo.

Simplicity rule

This photo shows simplicity because the background isnt all cluttered and distracting, and you can clearly see that the building is on fire and producing smoke in the air. The sky is clear and there are no distracting images in the back.

Red, metal, grumpy photos(:

Best "red" photo ^

Best "metal" photo ^

I think this photo shows framing, because theres no cluttered background.

Best "grumpy" photo ^

Great black and white photographers PART 2

Emmet Gowin is an american photographer. He was born in 1941 in Danville, Virginia. He graduated from Richmond Professional Institute in 1965. After graduating, he attended the Rhode Island School of Design. While earning his MFA, he studied under influential American photographers Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind. He retired from teaching at Princeton University at the end of 2009, and lives with his wife Edith in Pennsylvania. He started to gain attention from his portraits of his wife and family. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1977 and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1979, and Pew Fellowships in the Arts in 1994. He has posted multiple books, one titled "Emmet Gowin: Photographs", and another one titled "Emmet Gowin: changing the earth : aerial photographs".

Bastrop Fire Photo

This photo impacted me the most because it's so sad. Someone's house is getting burned down and there's nothing they can do about it. I feel sad when I see this photo because the fire is so big and its only getting bigger, and the firefighters are trying to fight this fire but they can't seem to contain it, so now over 600 homes burned down, and a bunch of people are homeless because of the fire.

"The Camera" Assignment

Viewfinder-  A viewfinder is what the photographer looks through to compose, and in many cases to focus, the picture.

Parallax- Parallax is an apparent displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.

Autofocus- An autofocus (or AF) optical system uses a sensor, a control system, and a motor to focus fully automatic or on a manually selected point or area.

Pixel- In digital imaging, a pixel, or pel, (picture element) is a single point in a raster image, or the smallest addressable screen element in a display device; it is the smallest unit of a picture that can be represented or controlled.

                                                    (The inside of a camera.)
Aperture- In optics, an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane.

Shutter- In photography, a shutter is a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light-sensitive electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene.

Exposure- In photography, exposure is the total density of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium (photographic or image sensor) during the process of taking a photograph. Exposure is measured in lux seconds, and can be computed from exposure value (EV) and scene luminance over a specified area.

Depth of field- In optics, particularly as it relates to film and photography, depth of field (DOF) is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

F-stop- In optics, the f-number (sometimes called focal ratio, f-ratio, f-stop, or relative aperture) of an optical system expresses the diameter of the entrance pupil in terms of the focal length of the lens; in simpler terms, the f-number is the focal length divided by the "effective" aperture diameter.

Focal length- The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges (focuses) or diverges (defocuses) light.

                                         (The Canon Rebel T3.)

The buttons I see on this camera are the shutter button and the flash button.

Shutter button- In photography, the shutter-release button (sometimes just shutter release or shutter button) is a button found on many cameras, used to take a picture.

Flash button- A flash button is a device used in photography producing a flash of artificial light (typically 1/1000 to 1/200 of a second) at a color temperature of about 5500 K to help illuminate a scene.
