EXTRA CREDIT

1.) the man was pushed in to the subways trackes and couldn't get out and time and got ran over. The photographer was at the right place at the right time and picked his camera up and took a picture with flash.
2.) so he could warn the train driver that the man was right in the way of the train to at least notify what is happening .
3.)It all depends if he would have had time to save him at least a try would have been better than a picture you never know maybe he could have saved him i don't think he should have.
4.)no i think he could have helped him he still had time to take a picture he should have time to save him.
5.) I dont think so they should ask the family first because it was his death and i don't think its right to do that to someone with out permission.
6.)it is more Important to take a picture of ice and whats happening because that is his job and that is what he does to support him self.
7.)Yes because he is there to see what is happening and it helps him on his photograph to give facts what is happening.
8.)It depends on the person and what is happening in the situation i do think they should avoid though.
9.)They have to decide what is the best decision for their safety and the persons safety because what if they both can die.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO - how do they all work?

APERTURE
                                                                    F2.8
                                                                       F16
1. the eye pupil
2. the smaller the Aperture the larger the f stop , the higher the Aperture the smaller the f stop.
3. a small f number will focus on one protocolar object or thing and blur out the background and the larger the f number will focus on everything including the background.

                                                              SHUTTER SPEED

1.)If you were assigned to shoot at Blue and Gold night, which was earlier this month, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:
a.) the dunking booth
1/1000 shutter speed
b.) the food eating contest
1/1000 shutter speed
c.) the rock climbing wall
1/250 shutter speed
d.) someone working at a booth
1/250 shutter speed
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
1/500 shutter speed
f.) the Diamonds performance.
1/500 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.) the dunking booth
1/1000 shutter speed
b.) the food eating contest
1/1000 shutter speed
c.) the rock climbing wall
1/500 shutter speed
d.) someone working at a booth
1/250 shutter speed
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
1/500 shutter speed
f.) the Diamonds performance.
1/1000 shutter speed



2.) 

1.Auto- When your shutter speed and aperture are selected automatically.       
2. Aperture priority mode - When the shutter speed is set by the camera but you can change the aperture yourself.
3.Shutter priority mode - the aperture is set by the camera but you can change the shutter speed yourself.
 4. Manual mode - you have the power to set both the aperture and the shutter speed to your liking. Camera does nothing.

                       
                                              ISO


                                                                           ISO 200
                                                                           ISO 3200





1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?
 If you shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event you will get the image you take to be clearer  and not as blurry because the shutter speed is lower.
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
 To use low ISO when there is good amount of light and in when its a dark place to put the camera on a tripod or a flat surface.
3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
 To use high ISO when there is not enough light to  take a picture and when taking pictures indoors to slow down motion and also for fast shots.

                                                              SIM CAM


F4- 1/60 the couple comes out clear and the background is barley visible.
F5.6- 1/60  the couple comes out clear and the background is blurry.
F8- 1/60  the couple comes out clear and the background is less blurry.
F11- 1/60 the couple comes out clear but darker and the background is a little blurry.
F16- 1/30  both the couple and the background are visible pretty clearly.
F22- 1/15 the background is clear but the couple is a bit blurry.



What is happening to the people themselves at slow Shutter Speeds?
- At slow Shutter Speeds the image gets more light  so then it will appear brighter.
What could the photographer do to help combat this problem?
-He could switch to a faster shutter speed in a good amount of light.
What is the lowest Shutter Speed do you think a photographer can hand-hold the camera?
-1/8 because it lets enough light pass through for a clear image to appear.

FASHION

1. they took off all the pimples and fixed her eyes face and neck size and fixed her hair.
2. I don't think its acceptable because you shouldn't change anyones face to put on a billboard its like false advertisement and people should keep their original self and not have to change for anyone god made us this way for a reason.
3. Yes for example false advertising saying a item will do something but it actually doesn't.
4. The only thing i think is okay is make up and hair. not all the change in eyes and neck and face.
5. photoj is more like pictures in general and rules of pictures and fashion is like how people dress and look.
6. for fashion it is focused on one person and how to ake them look good and photo j is more like pictures of everything using rules.

Lytro Warm-up

1. The picture enlarges and says who took the picture with a tittle of the picture.
2. The pictures focus on certain stuff and pretty clear.
3. You would have to know how to know how to manually focus a camera.
4. I would say its worth it the picture are really good.

RULE OF THIRDS

Tuesday, December 4, 2012

1- Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.

2- Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait 



Environmental portrait
I liked this picture because it was diffrent and caught my eye and it just stood out to me how she is from a different place and this is how she dresses and she is in the grass .





I chose this picture because this guy has a pretty cool background and the sun is setting i thought that was a good thing for this portrait.


Photography self portrait

I chose this self portrait because the guy is making a funny face and not just taking a plain picture.
I picked this as a self portrait because the camera is set farther back and he took the picture.



Casual Portrait

 I used this picture of Marilyn Monroe and ASAP Rocky as a casual picture because is just plain and nothing really unique about the pictures.



For my portrait i was going to use my mother or my little brother or one of my friends at school like isaac josh or rene i would do it at my house or at school or at the park at my house for environmental  and i would make them all take pictures as a casual, self portrait and environmental

Lines
                               1) I think I could of took a better picture with lines but this one isn't that bad.
                               2)The subject is books in lines.
                               3) i don think the subject would be noticed first i would look at the girl first .
                               4)i could of took a better picture with lines and the subject would be noticed first.


                                                                            Simplicity
                                 1) on this one i think i could of done better with a closer picture.
                                 2) The subject would be the girl because she's alone and no distractions
                                 3) I think the subject should be noticed first because there is nothing distracting
                                 4) i think this is a okay picture just shoulda been a little closer.

                                                                      Rule of thirds
                                   1) This picture is good because it follows the rule pretty good.
                                   2) The subject is the boy doing his work.
                                   3) The subject is really noticeable aging because there is nothing distracting.
                                   4) i could of took picture with a better position.

                                                                         Balance
   
                                   1) This picture is balance because each girl on each side balance it.
                                   2) the subject is the two girls that are on each side of the table.
                                   3) The subject is kinda noticeable but it could not because the background has a       lot of activity.
                                   4)i could of took a picture with just the two girls.

Avoiding merges 

                                           
                                    1)This picture is avoiding merges because the girls are is cut off and there is part of a head.
                                    2) the subject is the girl doing her work.
                                    3)the subject is clear because it is pretty noticeable.
                                    4)i could of took a better cut off picture.

                                                                      "The story'
This picture tells the best story because they are all hold hands and bowing there heads for a reason because in the picture they are doing so.
                                                               
                                                        "Action and Emotion" 

                                 

In this picture the action is they are giving out food to these homeless people and the emotion is that they are giving them food because they don't have money to eat.

"Filling the frame"



This picture is interesting because the photo looks so cool and I don't know what they are doing but it looks dope and bright and crazy.


Part Two

1.  I chose this photo because it was the picture that caught my eye with the pink paint bouncing off a bass speaker. it just looks cool and how its focused on the paint and not the girl in the background.

2. Avoiding mergers is the rule that it is following because it is not focused on the girl in the back that would distract you and its focused on the paint.

Part Three

1. I could take photos like these in a science class that are doing an experiment.
2. I like to go to ms mat as class.
3. focus and take pictures of the cool ones

Composition 9/11

Lines
In the photo the lines from the building are eye catching because you can see that the man if falling down from the building. 

Avoiding mergers
                        In this photo the people are avoiding the fact that all the pictures of the faces are people who lost their lives in 9/11 and when you look at this picture most likely your going to look at the people standing and not the faces.


Balance
In this photo it looks all the same how both sides the lines and smoke match each other and the people out the windows.
                                                                    Simplicity
                                                 In this photo the woman is mostly all you look at because she's covered in ash and the background is cloudy so you don't really have a distraction.



                                                          Rule of third
                                              In this picture the photo is not in the center its on the top right and you can see more not he bottom.
               

                                                              Framing
                              In this picture the background is all tore up and shows its serious and the fire fighter got hurt.

Camera history and information


Camera History and Information

1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved?
   Camera obsucra is latin for dark room and was the first camera. There is a dark room and a tiny hole is made in one wall through the hole light is focused and the outside scene is projects

2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera?
    In the 17th century Iassc Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses which was one step closer to creating the modern camera

3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce?
      A glass lens a dark room and flim

4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera?
   Light passes through the lens, into the camera and exposes film, and makes a photograph.

5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image?
    Digital cameras is electronic sensor called CCD  to capture an image

6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode?
    Auto mode will control flash and exposure while Program mode is automatic-assist and you can still control flash and a few other camera settings.

7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work?
    Portrait mode is to blur out the background, it works by camera will try to uses the fastest available lens settings

8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work?
    Sport mode is use for sports, car races anything that you need a fast shutter, it uses the highest shutter speeds possible

9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?
 Because its focus lock and it tells you its ready to go


10. What does this symbol mean?



This means no flash its used when there is plenty of natural light.




11.What does this symbol mean?


When the camera thinks it needs more light.





12. What happens to your photo if there is too much light?
    If there is too much light the photo will wash out .

13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light?
 Not enought light and the photo will be to dark.

14. What is a “stop.”
      A stop is a relative measurement of light.

15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two sons instead of one?
     1 stop

16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four sons instead of two? (Hint: the “show answer” feature is wrong).

3 stop


17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have?
The longer the shutter speed the more light

18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?
Less light.

19. What does the aperture control?
The opening also know as  the F-stop.

20. When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light?
      By having smaller F-stop numbers which gives it  larger openings which equals to more light.

Touching people


1. What do you think about this project and photo essay?
I personally think that this project was very cool with looking at photos with touching people. The photos taken in this project show many different moods and emotions some more awkward and some like the two individuals knew each other forever. 

2. What would you do if someone approached you with a camera and asked you to participate in a photo shoot and then asked you to touch a stranger?
I would  help someone out and take the picture but asking me to touch another person I wouldn't know how to react unless it was some beautiful girl then maybe. 

3. Think of an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that you think would be fun to go and shoot.
An unusual photo shoot would be to ask different and random people to take a picture of kissing a some one and not just on the lips but on the hand or something where ever. 

4. Finally, tell me what you thought of the photography, are the photos good? Do you like looking at them?
I think the photography was great, they just seem like pictures of two individuals. If I hadn't known the project and didnt know these people were complete strangers being asked to touch each other I wouldn't have thought it was a special picture. The the fact that they were strangers and asked to touch each other makes the pictures more interesting and fun to see the different reactions. 

40 greatest photos
