Aperture, Shutter, ISO,

F2.8.

F 16.

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

2. the smaller the Aperture the blurry it is, the higher the Aperture the lighter it is.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field? Aperture F 2.8 will make the picture look blurry from the background, while F 16 will make it look kinda clear.

4. With the camera near you - tell me the F stops available on the lens currently attached.  5.0

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
b.) the food eating contest
c.) the rock climbing wall
d.) someone working at a booth
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
f.) the Diamonds performance.

I will use Slow shutter speed for the daylight cause it would be light.

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
b.) the food eating contest
c.) the rock climbing wall
d.) someone working at a booth
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
f.) the Diamonds performance.

I will use High shutter speed, cause it will be dark and mostlry in the dark the picture dont come out good.

ISO 200

ISO 3200

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game? You will probably get a picture of ISO 3200

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO? That you should always stick to the lowest ISO of the camra which is 100 or 200.

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO? That you should use the high iso so it can come better when theres action or anything elese.

4. At the camera near you, please tell me what ISO's are available on your camera?



Sim Cam:

   F2.8 - looks the best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed.

   F 4 is very blurry you can only see white things on the picture but once you put the shutter to 1/25 it clears and look better.

   F 5.6 looks very good with 1/250 shutter. the background is very blurry and kinda dark.

   F 8 looks best at 1/60 and again the background is kinda blurry and the couple are the only ones with a clear quality.

  F11 looks good at 1/30 though its kinda looks blurry but its a good picture.

  F16 and 1/30 looks good and clear even though its kinda dark.

 

Camera Sim

On both test i got 92 so i did pretty good and yes i get it.

Africa: Black and White

I was really surprise that he would get close to some dangerous animals just to take a pretty picture of it.

My favorite picture was the one were the cheetah is balancing on the branch of the skinny tree and is looking on his right to see a better view.

a.     What kind of camera did he use?

             He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses

 

b.     What is his reason for taking the photos?

               Brandt fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa. Over the next few years, frustrated that he could not capture on film his feelings about the love for animals, he realized there was a way to achieve this through photography, in a way that he felt no one had really done before.

 

c.     What is his hope by taking these types of photos?

           Taking pictures for his love of animals

 

d.     Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog

             "You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close.^"

 

 

 

I think this picture is really cool.

Alot, I couldnt fine the Rule of Thirds, or Balance.

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.

Focus. I wanted the picture to come out clearly and good, and for the Avoiding Mergers i kinda wanted it to look bad so i switch it to the blurry.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

Take good picture of The Rule Of Thirds and Balacne, find some good positions for it.

Go and take a better picture.

The Rule Of Thirds.

Yes kinda.

I would have moved it a little to the side so the head of the other person didnt come out.

Post shoot reflection.

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 3 prompts (Red, Metal, Grumpy?
Trying to find a good picture that would identify each object.

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.
What i focused more was holding the camera because i didnt want anything to happen to it, and also was the focus to take a good picture.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photograhy?
I would get in good positions and zoom in a little bit more.

4. What things would you do the same?
Use the same quality i had.

5. Finally - go back and edit your blogs with the 3 photos (red, metal, grumpy), tell me what rules of composition (which you just learned about) did you end up actually achieving? Did you have any?
I think i achieved the metal one because i found alot of good metal things to take.

6. Are you interested in shooting those prompts again, why?
Yes, because i really enjoyed taking pictures of diffrent type of things.

"The Story"

In this picture you can tell there is a story going on here, by seeing a group of people helping the homeless that have no food or shelter, by giving them food to eat.

"Action and Emotion"

This picture shows action and emotion, when the girl blows bubbles all over her area, and the look on her face of amazement.

"Filling the Frame"

The frame is filled by the blackness while the boys do an experiment on something really cool.

I think this is really intresting because i have never done something like this, and it seems fun to do.

Framing.

In this picture, the two buildings that are in each side of the Twin towers form like a triangle and looks like a frame around the towers.

Lines.

In this photo, the towers and the space between them form lines that go straight up to the sky.

                                                                        Simplicity.

        This photo shows Simplicity, beacause the towers burning are the main thing and the sky is the background.

Balance.

In this photo, it shows balance by how the tower is tilting down, and seeing the other half of the tower balancing it.

Avoiding Mergers.

In this photo it shows five men helping eachother carry a injured me, making it looked like a avoiding merger by the smoke around them and no one behing them.

Rule of Thirds.

Red, Metal, Grumpy.

Red.

Grumpy.

Metal.

Roy DeCarava

Roy Rudolph DeCarava (December 9, 1919 - October 27, 2009) was born in Harlem, as the only child of Elfreda Ferguson, an immigrant, who separated from DeCarava's father shortly after his birth. DeCarava graduated  from Chelsea Vocational High School, deciding early on that he wanted to be an artist, he began working as a painter and illustrator; many of his early photographs were meant only as reference for serigraph prints. He worked for a time at Sports Illustrated Magazine, but he founded difficult to adjust his style and schedule to the constraints of commercial work and eventually gave up magazine and began to work in order to take on a job teaching advanced fine art photography at Hunter College.
Later on DeCarava and Langston Hughes collaborated and created a notable 2005 book on life in Harlem, "The Sweet Lifepaper of Life" . Roy was known as the first African American photographer to be awarded a National Medal Of Arts in 2006.

Bastrop's fire 2011.

When i look at this photo, i feel bad for the people that live there because they are losing all there homes and more. It's kinda scary how the sky looks, all covered in black smoke. I hope everyone in Bastrop stay safe.

(Inside of a camera)

Aperture- A device that controls the amount of light admitted through an opening.
Shutter- Is the device on the camera that opens and closes to control how long the focal plane is exposed to light.
Exposure-  is the unit of measurement for the total amount of light permitted to reach the electronic sensor during the process of taking a photograph.
Depth of Field-  is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.
F-Stop- is the numerical measurement of the aperture settings in a digital camera lens.
Focal Lenght-  is the size of the image and angle of  field of view as seen by the camera through the lens.
