Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO

Aperture

1. Our pupil is the body part we relate to aperture.

2.  The higher the aperture the lower the f stop and the lower the aperture the higher the f stop.

3.  A higher aperture mean you will have a smaller field of depth, and a lower aperture means you'll have a larger field of depth.

F/2.8

F/18

Shutter Speed

1. A.  Low 

    B.  Low 

    C.  High 

    D.  Medium

    E.  Medium/high

    F.  High 

2. A. Low 

    B.  Low 

    C.  High

    D.  Low/medium

    E. medium

    F. medium

3.  Shutter priority where you choose the shutter speed and it chooses the aperture for you, aperture priority where you choose the aperture and the shutter speed is selected for you. another is manual where you choose both aperture and shutter speed.

High Shutter Speed

Low Shutter Speed

ISO

1. It would be an advantage because those events happen fast and it would let you stop time to get a good picture thats not blurry.
2. When in the dark and using a tripod or a flat surface you should use a low ISO.
3. When there is not enough light for the image to be captured clearly use a high ISO

ISO 200

ISO 3200

Aperture settings- 2.8 to 22

Shutter Speed setting- 1 sec to 1/4000 sec

ISO Setting- ISO 100-25600

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A.  Manipulation can/ should only b used in certain cases, if t all. It is a big deal to change photos because photography is about capturing what really happened, not what will look good.

B.  The New York Times andWashington Post are both very serious about photo editing and manipulation. They have strict guidelines that their photographers have to follow.

C.  I think minor things like slightly changing a color or slightly changing a person to make then look more appealing. However i do not think that large changes to a person are ok. Also a major color change is not ethical.

D.  I think this image is the most unethical because it changes the image completely. It also changes how people think of the picture. This makes him look very menacing and evil , while the original makes him look fairly normal. 

E. I think this photo is the least unethical because it is just a small simple change. It only slightly changes the woman's teeth by straightening them to make her look prettier in the magazine. 

Academic Shoot

Avoiding Mergers
I did follow the rule by getting a different color of her hair and the pilar
The subjects are the two students studying
I feel like it is easy to see what the subject
not any because the subject is easy. 

Balance
I did follow the rule because the books are equal
I think the subjects are the books on either side
its kinda hard to see what the subject is
I should have had something in the middle as a subject

Framing

I followed the rule by framing using the bookshelves as frames

the subject is the girl reading the book

the subject is pretty obvious

it is easy to see

lines

I followed the rule by using the lines in the picture to lead to the girl's hair

the subject is the girl's hair

its kinda obvious to see

i could have focused more on her and made the lines more visible

Rule of Thirds

My subject is in the right third of the picture so i followed the rule

the subject is the girl writing

it is pretty obvious to tell what the subject is

It is easy to see

Simplicity

This photo follows the rule because there isn't much in the photo

The subject is the boy studying

it is easy to see what the subject is

It is easy to see

Academic Shot Preview

The Story

This picture tells me by telling that she likes to read and is very studios. You can tell because she is very into her reading and she has a large stack of books.

Action and Emotion

I think this shows some of the most emotion, even though it is joking emotion. The two students are "tormenting" the teacher while he is acting like he is going crazy. 

Filling The Frame

I think this picture does a good job of filling the frame by having the contents of the experiment all around the frame. They also have lots of posters and colors around the space.

Jostens Photo Contest: Favorite Picture

My Favorite picture was from the 2014 contest and it was  from what seemed like a science lab. In the picture, there was a girl standing in a kiddie pool filled with soapy water and there were two guys who had a hula hoop over her and they had created a a giant bubble around her.

• I chose this photo because it looked really cool and i had never seen a bubble this big before. 
• They used the rule of balance because they had one guy on each side and made the picture seem level. 

Pre-Shoot questions.

To take some cool photos like the ones I saw today I would need to be in a science class while they are doing a lab.

Since we don't have any science labs coming up i think i can go to my Spanish class and get some cool pictures.

I will follow all the rules we have learned in class and find good opportunities to take the pictures.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. I had a hard time trying to find something school spirited that would still look kind of good in a picture. I found that when i came across the clear trophies and they made for a cool picture.

2. I mostly found myself looking at the focus of the picture. I would use the "half press" technique to achieve my goal of changing the focus to my subject.

3. I would probably change a couple of technical things I did. I would probably go back and make my subject a little bit off centered to make it the rule of third, or i might try to find a good way to balance out my photo by finding something symmetrical and putting my subject in front of it.

4. I would keep my focusing technique the same because I feel like that worked well for me and made my photos look good.

5.  see blog

6. I don't really want to shoot those prompts again because I've already shot those and I want to find new things for me to shoot.


avanphotoblog.blogspot.com

2 good things- I like the simplicity of the first picture. The lines of the third picture bring my attention to the subjects.
2 things improved- I think on the last picture it might be a bit too simple. And on the third picture with the lines it seems kinda crowded with all the lines.

9/11 Review

Simplicity

This picture shows the rule of simplicity by only having one thing in focus and it has no busy background.

Rule of Thirds

This picture shows the rule of thirds by having the subject, the towers, only on the right third of the picture.

Lines

This picture doesn't shows multiple lines, it shows just one line that leads the viewers' eyes to the subject of the firefighters and the flag. 

Balance

This picture shows good balance by being in the center between the two towers and having one on each side of the middle.

Framing

This picture frames the collapsing tower with the buildings along the side of the road and brings most of the attention toward the two towers. 

Avoiding Mergers

This photo shows avoiding mergers by not cutting off any part of the peoples bodies or their feet. 

My Favorite 4

This uses both lines and balance. 

Simplicity a line.

I don't think i used any certain techniques in this picture.

Rule of thirds. I should have included the top of the can but i didn't avoid the merger.

Composition 9/11

Simplicity

I am shocked to see how much rubble and dust is on this man and his coat. It shows us how badly the planes hit the tower and demolished them.

Rule of Thirds

It is crazy to see such strong and mighty looking building smoking so badly in the city.  

Lines

This made me feel very proud to be an American because even in the midst of all the tragedy people are still being patriotic and proud of their country.

Balance

Once again this photo shows the gigantic towers indulged in smoke and flames, and it creates an almost unreal scene.

Framing

Imagining that huge of a building to just collapse in the city is crazy to see. It is almost exploding and falling at the same time, and it creates a huge smoke cloud over the city.

Avoiding Mergers

Even for the people who weren't right near the tower it still was a horrific scene. It makes my stomach churn seeing the people watching this happen and i can't even imagine how I would react.

The Camera

1. The camera obscura effect is the effect you get when you have a completely dark room with a small hole for light to come through. The hole acts like a lens for the light to focus through and project the image upside-down on the opposite wall.
2. In the 17th century, Sir Issac Newton developed the glass optical lens which brought us one step closer to modern cameras.
3. A glass lens, dark box and film was used to create the "modern camera".
4. Light still just passes through the lens into the camera and exposes the film, same as is always been.
5. Digital cameras use a special electronic sensor called a CCD to capture pictures.
6. On Auto mode the camera does everything, just point and shoot. Program mode you can control somethings like flash and some other settings.
7. Portrait mode tries to blur out the background of a photo by setting he highest aperture.
8. Sports mode is used to freeze motion by using the highest shutter speed.
9. The half press button is for when the subject may be off center and you need to focus on the subject, so the half press changes the focus of picture.
10. That symbol means that the flash is turned off. You use it when you want the scene to be more dramatic and use only the natural light.
11. The next symbol means auto flash; this means that the camera will decide if it needs more light or not.
12. If there is too much exposure in a picture, it means there is too much light, and it will be washed out.
13. If there isn't enough light then the picture will become too dark.
14. A stop is a change in the relative amount of light.
15. The new planet is one stop brighter.
16. the new planet is 2 stops brighter.
17. a long shutter speed means more light.
18. A shorter shutter speed means less light.
19. The aperture controls the amount of light let in.
20. You increase the amount of light being let in by making the f number smaller.
