Academic Shoot Preview

BEST STORY: 

I believe this shows the best story because it shows the community helping out and giving back. I can see a school or a non profit program getting together and standing out in the cold to give the homeless food. 

ACTION AND EMOTION

 

This photo shows the reaction of the girls when they see what happens in the science lab. 

FILLING THE FRAME: 

This is the most interesting because it shows the unity and the way the photographer used the light and edited the light makes the picture more interesting. I also found the light coming in from the trees really interesting as well. 

The photo that was most interesting to me on the website was the picture of the boy sitting on the floor with a bunch of SAT and ACT books on the ground. The camera angle isn't directly above the boy it is  angled in a diagonal. The photo is also in black and white which makes the photo more dramatic. This photo really caught my eye and thats why i picked it. The photo used balance and it also used some lines with the book shelves. You could take photos like this in your every day class, specifically in the classes that do more then just sit and read or write. I would like the visit my hospitality class because we do activities and games or my science class because we do different labs.  I will use different angles of the camera and I will try to use lines and the rule of thirds more. I will also keep in mind the simplicity and mergers.     

Post Shoot Reflection

PROMPT SHOOT REFLECTIONS 

1. For m prompt shoot the hardest thing for me was to find something that was different and unique that not many people had seen. 
2. I was most worried on how my camera was focused and what angle to hold the camera to get the good picture. 
3. I would try to place the center of the photo in a different areas instead in the dead center of the photo. I would also try to do some more make some of the photos more dramatic with the lighting. 
4. I would continue to  use the focus on the camera to make the pictures really good. 
5. I used the rule of thirds a little bit in the picture of metal because the focal point of the picture is the farthest to the right and no in the canter of the photo.
6. No I am not interested in shooting the same prompts because I want to have the opportunity to take pictures of different and new things. 

STEP THREE:

1. I really liked how for the picture of Bowie they used something I had never seen before on campus. I also liked they're perspective of happy, I wouldn't have thought of using a leadership poster as happy.

2. One thing they could do is use different camera angles when taking picture, all his picture were all up close and directly in the middle of the photograph. 

Composition 9/11

                    SIMPLICITY:

In this picture the twin tower is in the middle of the photo and the background has a nice color and the explosion is also in the middle of the picture as well.  

                 RULE OF THIRDS: 

For this picture you can see that the twin towers are off to the side of the picture and towards the top right of the picture instead of the middle. This makes the picture seem more dramatic and you can see  a lot of the smoke travel to the left. 

                                                                       LINES: 

The lines in the American Flag all lead directly to the firefighter who is crying. This is a line because the lines are directly moving toward the firefighter. 

BALANCE: 

This picture shows a triangle of where the men are hanging the flag, which is a apart of balance. 

                                                                        FRAMING: 

The broken wall or glass forms a frame around the firefighter who is climbing up the ladder. 

                                                           AVOIDING MERGERS:

Because there is so many people in this picture the photographer cropped and cut out people in the picture.

The Camera

 THE CAMERA 

 1.   The "camera obscura" is where you have a dark room or box and you cut out a small hole in the box and put a piece of special paper behind the hole in the black box. The light shines on the special paper and the image on the paper shows up upside down in the black box.

2. In the 17th century Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens made the process of making high quality glass lenses better.

3. Niepce created the film for the camera to create the first successful photograph taken.

4. The modern camera and the Niepce's version of the camera both still have the film and the camera lens.

5. The digital camera uses the CCD which is a electronic sensor where the photographs are stored.

CAMERA MODES 

1. With audio mode the camera controls the flash and the exposure on its own. For the program mode you have to control the flash and the other camera settings. 

2. The portrait mode the camera blurs out the background of the photo and focusses on one single point on the camera. Portrait mode is used for when you want to focus all on one single thing and nor have the images in the background show up. 

3. For the sports mode the camera uses the fastest shutter it has possible to capture moving objects. You use it for when you want to take a good, clear photo of a fast moving object. 

THE HALF PRESS

1. You half press on the trigger button because sometimes the camera doesn't focus on the object you want, so you half press on the trigger button and the camera focuses on the object you want to take a picture of. You also use the half press to allow the camera to prepare for taking a picture, you will be able to take a better picture when the camera is prepared. 

CONTROLLING FLASH 

1. The image on the Bowie website was the symbol used to indicate that flash is not on. 

2. It all depends on what kind of picture you taking, if you taking a picture during the day time of flowers you wouldn't want to use flowers. If your taking a picture of the moon you would want to not use flash to capture the natural light of the moon and stars. 

3. This symbol means that the camera will automatically turn the flash on if it thinks you need more light in the picture. 

4. You would use this if you walk into a dark room and don't have time to manually turn the flash on.

INTRODUCTION TO EXPOSURE 

1. When there is too much light in a photo the photograph will become to bright and you won't be able to see the images in the photo. 

2. When the image appears to be to dark you will not be able to see any images in the photograph as well. 

THE UNIVERSAL STOP 

1. A "stop" is used to represent the charge of the brightness of light in a photograph. 

2. The earth will be 1 stop bright if there is 2 suns instead of just one. 

3. The Earth will be 2 stops brighter if there is 4 suns instead of just just one sun. 

SHUTTERS AND APERTURE 

1. The longer the shutter is on the camera the more light allowed inside the camera and the more light you have the brighter the image is and more of the image will be taken. 

2. With the shutter having a shorter speed there is less light able to come into the camera and the less of the image you are going to take. 

3. The aperture controls the amount of area of light taken in by the camera. The larger the aperture the more light able to come into the camera. 

4. You can increase the amount of light taken into the camera by making the aperture bigger on the camera when you take a picture.
