FAVORITE

I chose this to be my favorite picture because it's obvious to see that this is a enviromental potrait because the astronaut is in an enviroment where you would picture one to be... which is space. I thougth it was cool that they

got a photo of this astronaut in space. Also, the lighting of the photo is pretty cool and the reflection of his helmet looks cool and shows his/her surroundings.

Magazine Cover Intro P1

1. The magazine cover should be efficient, fast, and easy to scan. The viewer should know what is going on.
2. If the topic is an advertisement or something you should make the cover worth the investment of money and time for the viewer.
3. When making the cover, you should make it have something that grabs the viewers attention. Make them want to read it or look at it.
4. When making the cover, you should make it interesting that keeps the viewer not bored and keep reading or looking at it.
5. When finished with your cover, make sure it is neat and visible. Don't make it too big or too small.

Lytro Warm-Up

1.What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo?
It focused on whatever I clicked on.

2. How does this new camera work?
I'm guessing it is touch to focus. So whatever you touch it becomes focused.

3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about)
I think they will have to know what they want to focus on and make sure the shutter speeds are right so that it will come out clear and not blurry.

4. Is it worth the money?
I feel it is worth the money, it's a creative invention and can make a normal photo into a really good photo.

Mergers & Avoiding Them

 

1st Tip

The settings in which you make pictures of people are important because they add to the viewer's understanding of your subject. The room in which a person lives or works, their house, the city street they walk, the place in which they seek relaxation—whatever it is, the setting provides information about people and tells us something about their lives. Seek balance between subject and environment. Include enough of the setting to aid your image, but not so much that the subject is lost in it.

2nd Tip

Use your imagination! A self-portrait can reveal a lot about you, by including props and even other people that are meaningful in your life. If you've never attempted to shoot a self-portrait, expand your creative horizons and give it a try.

ENVIROMENTAL PORTRAIT

I chose this photo because I like the angle and position of the camera. Also, the

 way the colors are. It gives the photo a warm feeling and I like it.

I chose this photo because like above, I like the way the camera

is postitioned and angled. It makes the picture look cool.

PHOTOGRAPHY SELF PORTRAIT

I chose this photo because I think it's cool how it seems like the frame

the guys is holding goes on forever. It makes the viewer really examine

the photo.

I chose this photo because it looks cool how the focused part of the

picture is the man upside down. I thought it was pretty creative.

    Next class when we go out shooting these types of pictures, I plan on taking a self portrait because I want to

be creative with it and make it describe me. I plan on shooting somewhere outside or possibly near a staircase. Not too sure. Also, to make it successful, I will adjust the settings on the camera. Such as the f-stop, shutterspeed, and ISO to where everything looks good and also focused.
