HIGH SHUTTER SPEED

SLOW SHUTTER SPEED

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light
a.) The dunking booth - High Shutter Speed
b.) The food eating contest - High Shutter Speed
c.) The rock climbing wall - High Shutter Speed
d.) Someone working at a booth - Slow Shutter Speed

e.) The DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle - Slow Shutter Speed
f.) The Diamonds performance - 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.) The dunking booth - High Shutter Speed
b.) The food eating contest - Slow Shutter Speed
c.) The rock climbing wall - Slow Shutter Speed
d.) Someone working at a booth - Slow Shutter Speed
e.) The DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle - Slow Shutter Speed
f.) The Diamonds performance - High Shutter Speed

2.

Auto - The camera selects what the shutter speed will be depending on it's surroundings.

Aperture Priority - You can change the aperature manualy but the camera changes the shutter speed automaticly.

Manual - You can change both aperature and shutter speed by hand.

BULB - 1/4000

Aperture

Aperture Setting : F2.8

Aperture Setting : F16

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?

Our eyes. (Cornea, Iris, Pupil)

2. The smaller the Aperture _ the larger f-stop _, the higher the Aperture _the smaller f-stop_.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?

Depth of Field to me is how clear and focused an object is and also how blurry the background behind the object is.

4. With the camera near you - tell me the F stops available on the lens currently attached.

3.5-5.6



Africa: Black and White

After watching the power point, it makes me want to travel the world to these places and experience how cool it would be to see those animals and their enviroment they live in.

My favorite photo would be the one where the cheetah is in the tree and the tree seems to be secluted. As the cheetah looks among it's habitat. I also like how most of the pictures are in like a sepia/old fashion looking tone that gives it a cool little feeling.

Nick Brandt:
- Some say he may be using Canon with a a 35, 44, 104 and 200 mm lenses.

- He wanted to somehow capture his passion for animals visually, and it was when he visited East Africa

that he could actually do it.

-  Brandt wants his images to achieve two things, to be an elegy to a world that is tragically vanishing and to make people see what beauty is disappearing.

- "There’s something about the animals here – their mythic, mythological, iconic quality."

Academic Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? I think the most challenging one was attempting to take a picture of 'balance' but after looking at my picture i took, i think i did pretty good.


2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly. I didn't really have any technical problems, because like i said before i have one of these cameras of my own at my house and i know how to work with them.


3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I would possibly use more examples of the 6 components and try to put them in my photography more often.
4. What things would you do the same?
I would most likely try to take the same pictures that look similar because i feel i got the shots i needed.


5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve? The easiest would have to be either lines or simplicity since they're so simple.


6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?I think the hardest would have to be either balance or avoiding mergers.
7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?Balance, and possibly i can research more on balance that way i know more about it.

6 Components.

SIMPLICITY

I feel i followed the rule well, the subject would be the

sign saying "New Tech High" and if people were to

look at this photo, it would be easy enough to say that the subject

is the sign.

RULE OF THIRDS

I feel i followed the rule very well in this photo, the subject

would be the clock on the wall. And if people were to

look at this photo and knew what the rule of thirds

was, they could easyily say that the clock was the subject.

FRAMING

This photo i feel i got the point of 'framing' down, the

subject would be the tree and the poles from the

staircase are 'framing' a little box around the tree

and it's surroundings. If a person were to look at this

I'm sure they could conclude that the poles form a frame

around the tree.

                                     AVOIDING MERGERS

This would be an example of an 'avoiding merger' because

the pole behind the character seems to be coming out from

behind him, as if it were merged in with him.

LINES

This photo shows the example of lines great because

it shows the detail of the stairs and has plenty of lines

on them. If someone were to look at this,

it would be obvious that they would see a lot

of lines.

BALANCE

I feel this photo is balanced because it kinda forms
a shape on the ceiling, and also the lockers on both
sides of the hall. If someone were to look at this picture
in my opinion it may take awhile for them to conclude something.

The Story

I feel this picture has the best story behind

it because the students are taking time out of

their day to help the needy and feed them. It

shows how caring the students are.

Action and Emotion

I feel the action of this picture is the way the two

students are treating the teacher in a fun goofy

way. The emotion is that the students really

enjoy that teacher and appreciate his hard work

and you can tell that the students and teacher

have a close connection.

Filling the Frame

I chose this picture because the students are

filling the whole frame of the picture and

are cooperating together to do some

experiment. The students placement

fills most of the whole picture itself.

Post Shoot Reflection

Q. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 3 prompts
A. I did not really have any challenges that i encountered when shooting the 3 prompts, If i had to say the most challenging one.. It would be the emotion "grumpy" because it was hard to take a picture of an emotion.

Q.  What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
A. I did not really think about any of the technical aspects because I have a camera of my own (T2i) and I understand how to use the camera and all of it's basics (focusing, framing, shooting, etc.)

Q. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photograhy?
A. If we got do the assignment again, after all that i have learned about lines, simplicity, etc. I would go out there and take some pictures of the prompts using these compositions such as maybe instead of taking a picture of the metal with the background of grass and tree, I could use like the sky to capture the metal more.

Q. What things would you do the same?
A. I would most likely take the same pictures but just in new angels and perspectives.

 Q. Are you interested in shooting those prompts again, why?
A. If we got to do it again, i would enjoy that because i like walking around campus taking pictures.
