Sim Cam

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.

SHUTTER SPEED

High shutter speed photo ^

Slow shutter speed photo ^

1. At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light
A. high shutter speed
B. high shutter speed
C. high shutter speed
D. high shutter speed
E. high shutter speed
F. high shutter speed

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.
A. low shutter speed
B. low shutter speed
C. low shutter speed
D. low shutter speed
E. low shutter speed
F. low shutter speed

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.

3. 30", 25", 20", 15", 13", 10", 8", 6", 5", 4", 3"2, 2"5, 2". 1"6, 1"3, 1", 0"8, 0"6, 0"5, 0"4, 0"3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/13, 1/15, 1/20, 1/25, 1/30, 1/40, 1/50, 1/60, 1/80, 1/100, 1/25, 1/60, 1/200, 1/250, 1/320, 1/400, 1/500, 1/640, 1/800, 1/1000, 1/1250, 1/1600, 1/2000, 1/2500, 1/3200, and 1/4000.

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.
