Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? I encountered not being able to walk around the classes to take good pictures because everyone was distracted and I didn't want to distract them even more. Another challenge was not going to any interesting classes because all of the scene classes had off periods. 2.   What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general did you find yourself thinking about the most? I was focused on trying to get pictures with framing because those pictures look  amazing once cropped and edited.  3.   If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I would take every single picture that I thought of when I thought of it because I had some good ideas that I forgot to do. 4.   What things would you do the same? I would walk around campus trying to find interesting stuff happening in the hallways. 5. 

Academic Preview Assignment

Filling the Frame This picture is filling the frame with something interesting. The interesting stuff is what is going on at  her table. There appears to be smoke and a light filling the frame. She looks surprised and her partner looks interested. The Story I think this tells a story because this picture is very deep. You can tell that they are writing stuff with meaning on the board. The story is probably about how a kid was being bullied, so they made a video to prevent bullying. This is what came out of the video.   Action and Emotion This picture is showing action and emotion because the girl in the picture is sawing an item and there are sparks and dust flying everywhere. The emotion is being portrayed by her expression. She is focused and determined to finish her work. My favorite picture is the black and white photo of the boy sitting around a pile of open books.  1. I picked this photo because it has an artistic appeal about it. I l

Photo shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 posts? While trying to take pictures of square, metal, happy and bowie, I encountered the challenge of finding something for square that is worth taking its picture. I finally had to make a square with someones hand and try to frame something in it. That was also hard because either the stuff inside the square was too small or too big. 2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general did you find yourself thinking most about? I was most focused on trying to focus the pictures so that when it was time to use them, they weren't blurry. 3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I would probably find some balance by taking the pictures a little bit off center. 4. What things would have done the same? I would frame the pictures with something else popping up out of the side for more creative abilit

1. What composition rule did you follow? I followed the composition rule of simplicity because this is a very simple picture of a girl doing her work and there's nothing complex about it. 2. What is the subject? The subject is the girl. 3. Is it clear to people what your subject is?You can tell that I was trying to take a picture of the girl because she is the only thing that stands out. 4. If you can't very clearly see what your subject is, what could you have done differently? I could have taken the picture from a different angle to make it more simple. 1. What composition rule did you follow? I followed the composition rule of avoiding mergers because there is no part of a leg or head in the picture. It is cropped specifically to not have that. 2. What is the subject? The subject is these ow people working hard and studying. Their story behind this is their work for a math class. 3. Is it clear to people what your subject is? You can look at this picture

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Image
A. What are some of the main points you read about in the website above regarding manipulating images? Some of the main points that I read about was how if you edit the picture or not, the picture still isn't portraying the reality completely how it is either. So even though, yes, photoshop edits or changes the picture, the picture has already been manipulated. B. What is the philosophy of newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York times regarding image manipulation? They have a rule that you can't change the colors of the picture in any way. In order for your picture to be used, you have to turn in your original photos and your final ones. C. What do you think are acceptable things you could do to an image and not cross the line unto an unethical manipulation? I think that you could edit the lighting on the picture or jus edit the  quality  of the picture, but not placing someone  else's  head or changing the way they look because it's not truthful. D.

Avoiding Mergers

The plain blue sky in the background really bring your eyes to pay attention to the smoke and second plane heading towards the building.

Balance

Image
The green leaves in this picture really let you understand the depth of what happened. The green leaves are the hope and the burning building in the back brings you back to reality.

Rule of Thirds

Image
The framing to this picture is uneven which makes it more artistic and really lets you understand how hard this was for everyone hurt by this and even people who weren't.

Framing

Image
The cut open wall gives a perfect frame to the man in the background repairing stuff from 9/11. It is the exact type of framing that represents this picture.

Simplicity

Image
The beautiful background with the blurry buildings covered with smoke and the orange sky, let your eyes focus on the statue of liberty.

Lines

Image
    The green, white and gray vertical lines in the background of this picture make the person stand out in all of this.

Prompt Shoot #1

Image
Happy Metal Bowie Square Framing was kind of used in this because of the square, the picture has a sort of natural frame for it. 

Camera

The Camera 1 . They have the old camera in a dark room and they put a tiny hole in the wall. Light focuses through the hole and a projection of the picture is shown upside down on the wall. 2 . Isaac and Christian perfected the understanding of optics and the process of glass lenses. 3 . The first modern camera had a glass lens, a dark box and a film. 4 . Modern digital cameras and Niepce's camera both work when the light passes through the lens, into the camera and exposes the film which creates a photograph. 5 .  We have replaced a plastic film with an electronic censor called a CCD that stores all of the pictures in the memory. Camera Modes 6 . The difference between auto mode and program mode is that auto mode does everything by itself while program mode lets you control a couple of the settings. 7 . Portrait mode is used to attempt to blur our the background by using the fastest lens setting available.  8 . Sports mode is used to freeze motion by using the highe
