aperture shutter speed and IOS

1. the aperture is related to the pupil
2. the smaller the aperture the larger the f-stop, the higher the aperture the smaller the f-stop.
3. the smaller f-stop or larger aperture will bring out the foreground from the background by making the foreground in focus and the background blurry. the area in focus is the depth of field and that changes with the aperture size, bigger aperture (smaller f-stop), the smaller depth of field. slow shutter speed

fast shutter speed 

1.

a. 1/150

b. 1/160

c. 1/350

d. 1/350

e. 1/250

f. 1/300

a. 1/50

b. 1/50

c. 1/350

d. 1/150

e. 1/100

f. 1/200

2. aperture priority: shutter speed is automatic but aperture is manual

shutter priority: shutter speed is manual and aperture is automatic

manual: both shutter speed and aperture are set automatically 

1. with a higher IOS the shutter speed can be faster

2. when there is lots of light, use the lowest IOS

3. when there is not enough light increase the IOS

love loss and beauty- battling breast cancer

These photos were very touching and made me very sad for the woman. It showed the transformation of the woman's life as she went through the struggle for survival. This made me feel very special that her husband share their story with everyone.
"These photographs do not define us, but they are us."  
this means that the photos are the life they went through. They describe and show the feelings they went through when she had breast cancer.
I honestly don't think I could take photos like this if I was really close to someone with cancer. I think I would be too sad to think about capturing the beauty of the sadness. 
Dear Angelo,
Your photos of your wife battling cancer are so touching. Thank you for sharing them with everyone. It was really moving to look through the photos. I'm sorry for your loss. 

Africa/abandoned theme parks

I was very impressed on how close he got to the animals. His photos were so in focus and showed depth and movement. I was also suppressed that it took him 18 days to get a picture of a lion and weeks to get on of the giraffes. His photos were very inspiring.

In the black and white photo there is a man kneeling down holding two big elephant tusks next to his head in the bottom third of the photo. The photo shows the plain desert landscape and the sky. I like this photo because it makes the viewer feel like the man feels bad for killing the elephant because of the way he is crouched down. The elephant, a huge animal compared to the man, seems so important because by looking at the photo it looks as if the tusks are bigger than the man.
The rule of simplicity is used because the background is just the plain flat land scape and the sky. This puts all the focus on the man and the tusks. the rule of thirds is present because the man is in the bottom left of the photo.
He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses. He doesn't use zoom lenses because he wants to capture the spirt of the animals.

the animals came first, photography second. Photography was merely the best medium for me to express my feelings about animals, and the natural world.

Shidaka’s Utopia, Beppu, Kyushu, Japan

I think this would be an interesting place to visit because it is a mystery why the park shut down and every thing is left as it was like being frozen in time. and in the house of horrors the creepy monsters decay.

Neil Armstrong was the first to take photos on the moon.

It would be fun to take photos of the moon's land scape because not many people have seen very many photos of the moon. It would be interesting to get a different perspective for he moon. On the moon you could take pictures of craters and other land elements of the moon.

It would take a rocket to take pictures at my location. you would also have to be a trained astronaut and have a fancy space suit and everything. Also you would have to become friend with NASA and have them help you out. not to mention the crazy expenses of a rocket and the fuel and everything. And the planning and coordination of all the people you would need to be involved would take a lot of work. you would also need a camera that would work on the extreme heat and cool of the moon. I don't think the main purpose of going to the moon should be just to take photos. It would take a lot of work and seems kind of pointless to go to the moon in order to just take photos.

academic shoot reflection and critique

1. It was challenging to get good pictures while they were moving around in their classrooms and trying to apply the rules of composition to the photos while shooting.
2. I was trying to get unique angles while shooting, like in my picture of framing with the girl sewing the bowl, I knelt down and got a photo from that angle
3. Next time I would try to get my photos in better focus and have simpler backgrounds.
4. I would still think about the rule of thirds, balance and framing like I did well in this photo shoot.
5.  Next time I think rule of thirds will be easiest to accomplish
6. for me I think the hardest to accomplish would be the rule of simplicity because when I'm taking photos I am not really thinking about keeping the background simple.
7. The rule of lines is the one I'm confused on but I could try to take more photos where lines lead your eye to the subject.

Its Bobby Boy's 101st birthday and the 101 candles on the cake set fire to the 123 year old roof of Mr. Bobby Boy's house, calling the fire trucks to the oldest building in the town. No one was hurt and the damage on the house is nothing major but Bobby was very disappointed that he wasn't able to finish making his 101st birthday wish.




Donald Bernie's dog, Sir Barkly, saves Donald's 2 year old grandson, Tommy, from the boy's fatal allergy to beestings by eating the bees when they flew near the grandson when they were at the park lastu Tuesday. Sir Barkly had a very sore mouth until yesterday when he was able to eat his favorite meal that Donald specially prepares for him, honey stew.

academic shoot

balance

1. I followed the rule of balance pretty well. There are two people on either side of the picture and they balance each other out.

2. the subject is the hands on the keyboard.

3. When looking at the picture it is pretty clear that the subject is the hands.

4. It could be clearer if the background was simpler.

framing

1. I followed the rule of framing well. The bowl is framed by the girl on the left, the table on the bottom and the string on the right.
2. the subject is the string that is being sewed by the hands through the bowl.
3. yes it is clear that the subject is the string that is being sewed by the hands through the bowl.
4 It could be clearer if the there wasn't any yellow in the background and on the table.

lines

1. I could have followed the rule of lines better. there are lines on the table and in the background that lead your eye to the subject but the rule could have been more obvious.
2. the subject is the computer closest to the camera.
3. yes it is clear that the subject is the computer because it takes up the picture and is in focus.
4. I could have included the rule of lines better by having more lines in the background that lead your eye to the subject.

rule of thirds

1. I followed the rule of thirds well. the baseball that is being painted is ini the upper left third of the photo.
2. the subject is the baseball that is being painted
3. It is clear that the baseball is the subject, but if the background was simpler and the ball was in better focus then it would be more obvious what the subject is.

simplicity

1. The rule of simplicity is shown in their photo because the background is simple.
2.the subject is the hands working with the clay.
3. yes it is clear what the subject is.

great black and white photographers part 3

1. When I first saw Robert Doineau's photos I thought they were funny. I liked the way they told a story through the photo and the humor. I also really liked how the photos were composed.

.
2. I see a bunch of children racing under the Eiffel tower. Their smiling faces show their happiness. They skip and dace for joy as they speed down the streets of Pairs. Their hair flies back in the wind and their arms swing out as they leap for joy.
I smell the children's smelly sweat.
I hear the sound of their foot steps as as the stampede charges past .
I taste the dust they kick up from their shoes flying by.
I feel the joy of the children's free sprits and youth.

photo mural prject

life at bowie could be a theme of the mural. The mural would be a quilt work of photos that represent bowie. Cameras and phone cameras could be used to take the pictures because then there would be more photos to choose from. One place to put the photo that would be cool is in the pit in the courtyard. If the photos were on the ground then the students could interact with the photos and every one who passed by the pit would see the mural. And it would be cool if the mural was so big that it took up the entire pit.
