ISO,Aperture and shutter speed

F2.8

F16

1. The eyes are the part of the body that we should closely relate aperture.
2. The smaller the Aperture the larger the f-number, the higher the Aperture the smaller the f-number.
3. Aperture impacts the Depth of Field by the smaller the aperture brings the background into focus and the larger the aperture blurs out the background
Shutter Speed:
1. a.) For the dunking booth i would use fast shutter speed because there's fast moving balls and when the person drops it'll all happen rather fast
b.) For the food eating contest I would use medium shutter speed because the people eating the food are in a contest and will more than likely be moving fast feeding themselves.
c.) For the rock climbing wall i would use fast shutter speed because people are climbing the wall and more than likely will be moving rather fast so the fast shutter speed would be the best option.
d.) For someone working at a booth i would use slow shutter speed since the people don't have fast moving action going on so slow shutter speed would be more idealistic.
e.) For the DJ/MC working in the middle of the circle i would use slow shutter speed since they're standing there choosing music, it would be easier and more reasonable to use the slow shutter speed.
f.) For the Diamonds performance i would use fast shutter speed because the the girls will be moving fast and dancing with quick motion so the fast shutter speed is whats best.
a.) At the dunking booth in a dark setting i would use slow shutter speed since it will help capture the motion happening as a person falls or a ball is thrown.
b.) At a food eating contest i would use a medium shutter speed since the setting is dark and the people might not be moving fast enough for a slow or fast shutter speed so medium would be a good balance and capture a well enough picture in the dark.
c.) At the rock climbing wall i would use a medium shutter speed since the people would be moving slower because its dark, so the medium shutter speed would be more ideal for a darker slower moving environment.
d.) For someone working at a booth i would use slow shutter speed since the person really isn't making a fast moving motion so the use of fast shutter speed isn't needed.
e.) For the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle i would use fast shutter speed, because it dark so the lighting is slightly changed and the visibility is limited so using the fast shutter speed will make it easier to capture or freeze the DJ.
f.) At the Diamonds performance i would use slow shutter speed, because when its dark out the slower speed will help freeze the motion better and the girls will be moving and dancing rather fast.
2.) One way to set shutter speed is to have the camera set in auto mode, because the camera will automatically set the the shutter speed. Another way is to set the camera to shutter priority, because with that you set the shutter speed and the camera will automatically set the aperture.
ISO:
1. The advantages to shooting with a higher ISO at night are the it will allow more light to come into the photo since you'll need more light because its dark.
2. The author suggested to use low ISO when there is plenty of light or when it may be dim and you use a tripod.
3. The author suggested to use high ISO when there is not enough light for the picture, so like shooting inside with no flash or super fast scenes.

• F4 - looks best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed. At F4 the background is very blurry.

• F5.5 - looks best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed. At F5.5 the background is still blurry but not as bad as the other aperture.

• F8 - looks best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed. At F8 the background is blurry.

• F11 - looks best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed. At F11 the background is still blurry but not too blurry.

• F16 - looks best at 1/30th of a second shutter speed. At F16 the background is coming into better focus than the other apertures.
• F22 - looks best at 1/15th of a second shutter speed. At F22 the background is in focus and looks well.

At slower shutter speed, the subject is way more blurry than faster shutter speed. The photographer could use a tripod to help combat the problem.
The slowest shutter speed a photographer could use while holding the camera before needing a tripod is at 1/60th of a second.
On the shutter speed test I made a 92%. And on the depth of field test I made a 50%. Yes i understand aperture, shutter speed, and ISO better now.

Tip #1: Bring Something to Focus On

The problem that I saw when I looked through my viewfinder was that I didn't have anything to focus on aside from the items in the far distance. This of course would make for a perfectly blurry photo of me, which isn't at all what I wanted.

One easy solution to this problem is to bring something to stand in your place. Height doesn't matter so much as distance, but try to match it to yourself as best as you can for accuracy. If you have an extra tripod or light stand, these make perfect substitutes that will stand upright exactly where you need them. I was out in my yard so I grabbed a shovel from my shed, stuck it in the ground, focused and then moved the shovel. Rudimentary, but it worked perfectly.

Lighting, a single flash can do wonders for your portraits. I won’t go into any lighting details, but photography is about capturing light. You don’t need to buy a flash, I first started learning lighting using work lights. You can pick up a small but powerful work light from home depot for around ~$15.\

Environmental portraits 

I picked this photo because I like get my nails done and it shows that she does nails .I choose it because the colors pop out to me , its a good setting.

I picked this  photo because of the setting and I like this pictures because of the colors and the feel of the country. 

casual portrait

I picked this kid because his eyes pop out and everything about him is clear and perfect.

I picked this photo because it showed the mother and son and I liked this picture because the way the picture tell a story and the kid is happy.

formal portrait

 I picked this photo because I think that dressing in a military unifrom is formal. I like this picture because he looks sharp and everything is clean cut.

I like this picture because everything looks clean cut when you are military uniform. I picked this photo because clearly they are dressed they are in there formal dress.

Self Portraits 

I picked this photo this photo because I think Its cool that The sign is pointing to him . I like this photo because the way the lighting is viewed on just him .

I like this photo because it kinda means like everything is going fast and you just standing there. I picked this photo in because this is kinda what I want to to for my self portrait.

I will be shooting Rebecca ,we will be shooting her pictures out on the court yard.We will go out side and take pictures of shadwos or of her in the middle of the court yard. I want to take my photo outside and of me standing in a empty parking lot

2. The Zipplin Crashed into a Tower in 1974 in The hills of Washington. The Zipplin Taking 34 Life's with it crashed violently into the town after losing control.

3. Anthony James In First place and Michael Jamel holding there fist up in the air to show there pride for black pride. James and Jamel Proudly U.S Olympics

Africa

This Is my favorite photo because the flower and the color of the flowers make it look light and delicate. This can explain the Rule of Thirds and how it work. He used a Pentax 67 to take his pictures. His Reason was because he was directing a movie and fell in love with the animals on east Africa.He wanted to capture the  love for animals on film. 

Mural Reflection

1. You could use Shoes, The shoes would be like the walked of lives of people . For example many people have different backgrounds and past and we all walk on one school ground.

2.Well I think this is a good topic because a lot of people like shoes, I know students at Akins love shoes . It all about material Items in high school and shoes is a big item people love to see and talk about.

3.Theadvantage to taking pictures on this is that A lot of people at Akins are about there shoes so it won't be a problem finding shoes but it will be a problem of the repeating of the shoes because people have the same shoes a lot of times. 

4.The advantage is that if you get an Auto Focus camera then the shoes will stick out perfectly and the disadvantage would be that if you get an auto focus camera then it gets hard to focus the camera  the same as the auto focus pictures

5.We should use SLR cameras because some people's phones don't have high quality cameras.

I Picked this one as what I thought as the best photo because the colors are beautiful and just pop out in the picture.

The Rules of photography in this photo is Emphasis Because the photo is based on the pink coloring and the paint going into the air and how how the dots go in the air 

Discussion

Discusion
I Picked this photo because it would ask why is the person cry? who is the lady holding her? what happened to her

Avoiding Mergers

Avoiding Mergers

This one is avoiding Mergers because there is nothing really in the picture but the tower and the fire and the stuff flying out and thats what the picture is about.

Framing

The framing in this photo is the girl and the tower and how that is just the focus point in the picture .

Balance

This Picture shows the two tower and the shapes of the out line and the city line is a bunch a squares.

Lines

Lines

I Picked this one because The line on the budding are a good example of lines and you get to see the inside of the building and how it is distorted  

Rule of Thirds

Rule of Thirds 

I iced this photo because you just didn't get the towers you had the towers and the rest of the city, you also have space in between the photos

This photo is simplicity because it is just zoomed in the tower and the smoke coming out of it. 

Elements of art and principles of Design in photography

 Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.

Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.

Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.

Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.  Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.

 Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.  Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.

Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or  negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

Principles 

 Balance is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art.  There are three different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. The human figure is symmetrically balanced; the same on the left and right side. The tree is asymmetrically balanced; its branches are not distributed equally on each side, but their total weight is balanced left and right. The sun is an example of radial balance; all its rays are equal in length from the center.

---

Contrast is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas. It is used to make a painting look interesting.

---

Emphasis in the focal area of an artwork gives it importance.  An artist may stress some elements of the design over others. The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition. 

  Movement in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area.  Movement is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position.  Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with the placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.

Patterns are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.  Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.

---

Rhythm is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms.  Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly.  Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.

---

Unity means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony.  Unity brings together a composition with similar units.  For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.
