1. What theme that we could take here at school could we do a series of these panels to place around the school?
Maybe we could make a mural that expresses what this school is all about. When people think about Akins High School, what first comes to mind and put it in a picture. One big mural would express why we love this school and what makes it Akins.
2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones?
I think it would be more artistic and different if it were with camera phones because not many people make a mural with just pictures from their phone. But, we may have to use regular cameras because people don't have a camera phone.
3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus?Maybe somewhere in the courtyard to where everyone who walks by can see it and admire it. If not there, then possibly somewhere in the front of the school to where visitors can see it.

HDR Photography
1. What do you have to do on the camera to make this type of photo?
Any camera that allows manual over or under exposure of a photo can make this type of photo. Some cameras have an auto exposure bracketing (AEB) feature with a far greater dynamic range than others.

2. Look up a Canon T3 on google and tell me if it has the ability to shoot bracketed photos? Yes, it is able to shoot bracketed photos (+/-3 levels in single level increments 3 bracketed images per shutter release.)
3. Is there a place on campus we could take a series of photos like this?
Possibly the courtyard.
Possibly the courtyard.
4. Do a google image search for HDR photos and find your favorite, post it on your blog, tell me why you picked that photo and then tell me what techniques (rules of photography) the photographer used.
I chose this photo because I liked the way the sky looked
and the sun either setting or rising. It really captured my eye when I was
looking through all the pictures. The techniques the photographer used
was balance because you can tell just by looking at the photo.

Fixed Photo Shoot Post Shoot Reflection:
1. What did you learn about the camera when you took these photos?
I learned more about the F-Stop and ISO settings and how they work together. Also, the shutter speed.
2. What do you notice about all the photos and the way they look?They vary in brightness depending on their shutter speed and F-Stop. The slower the shutter speed.. the brighter they are. They go from really bright to dark.
3. Can you tell the difference between each ISO? Explain how.
Yes, the higher the ISO and when we were outside the brighter they were because the setting is telling the camera that it needs more light and we are already outside so it will cause it to be bright.
4. What does this tell you about ISOs and what it does when you change it when you take pictures?
Like I said above, The ISO is telling the camera how much more light to give in into the lense and being outside when it is sunny with a high ISO will cause the camera to make the picture more bright.
5. What about focus? Can you see a difference in the photos? Tell me what differences and similarities you see.
After looking through all of them.. the focus doesn't really change throughout the pictures. They all are focused on a specific subject.

ISO : 400
Shutter Speed: 1/500
F-stop: F8.0
Distance: ?
Focal Length: Around 20mm
Lighting: Outdoors. Partly Cloudy
7. What do you need to concentrate on when you go out to shoot next time when you have to shoot in Manual setting?
I need to focus on the F-Stop and Shutter speed setting and set them to the correct number for a good picture.
Great Black & White Photography Part 3
1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them?
The watch of the persons wrist caught my eye and how behind his hand is a long road leading up to what looks like a capital. I chose it because to me it just seems cool and is very creative.
2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog.
Watch by Josef Koudelka
I see a persons watch with a not so busy road behind it.
I smell the aroma of cars and buildings passing by.
I hear cars passing and the wind blowing the leaves in the trees.
I taste the breeze that enters my mouth.
I feel the wind and the weather to me seems a little cold since the person has a jacket on and it is cloudy.
Down To The Factory by Robert Doisneau
I see a man walking down a hill to a nearby factory.
I smell the fumes and smoke from the factory's smoke stack.
I hear machines from the factory running.
I taste the oil or machinery that the wind blows from the factory torwards me.
I feel the wind as it blows over me.
3.) Finally, what would you like to create to show the world your great photographer. Ideas include, posters, power points, a blog, etc. You tell me what you would like to create so we can come up with a plan to share your thoughts and ideas about your photographer with your classmates and with the rest of the school.
To show my great photographer, I would most likely create a power point with some of his work and explain why the pictures are cool to me. Also, facts about the photographer.

Camera Sim
I did pretty well on the Image Sorter - Depth of Field test.. I found it east to find out which of the images were either in focus on a subject. or the whole image was focused.
I also did pretty well on the Image Sorter - Shutter Speed and Motion but not as good as the first test over Depth of Field.
I do understand Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO better now, I definetly have learned more about ISO because I've seen the setting on my camera but wasn't really sure how many ways i could use it. So I'm glad I learned more about the camera settings.

Sim Camera
F4 looks best at 1/125 sec
F5.6 looks best at 1/60 sec
F8 looks best at 1/125 sec
F11 looks best at 1/60 sec
F16 looks best at 1/30 sec
F22 looks best at 1/15 sec
On every one, the background gets blurry and the object, which would be the couple gets focused
and clear. The lighting also changes and makes the image look better.

ISO
ISO 200
ISO 6400
1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?
It will be easier to capture the moving objects of the players in action.
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
If you have your camera mounted on a tripod or sitting on a flat surface. Your camera will most likely need more time to capture the scene and anything that is moving is probably going to look like a ghost.
3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
I set my ISO to a higher number to be able to freeze motion.
4. At the camera near you, please tell me what ISO's are available on your camera?
100-6400
