2.“Aperture Priority” mode- Your supposed to put the lens aperture manually, and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed.
   “Shutter Priority” mode- Its vise-verse from aperture priority. Instead you set the camera shutter speed and the camera will automatically set the aperture of the lens
   “Manual” mode- You put both the shutter speed and the aperture of the lens by your self (manually).

4.f/1.4?

Africa

1. I was amazed by every photo on the power point.

2. My favorite photo was the one of the elephant in the middle of this forest kind of place. Its my favorite because the elephant seems out of place.

3. a. He uses a Pentax 67II.

    b. He likes to show the animals in the state of being, in the state of being before they are no longer are.

    c. Try to prove that every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live

    d."Why the animals of Africa in particular? And more particularly still, East Africa? There is perhaps something more profoundly iconic, mythical, mythological even, about the animals of East Africa... There is something deeply deeply, emotionally stirring and affecting about the plains of Africa - the vast green rolling plains punctuated by by the graphically perfect acacia trees." - Nick Brandt.

Academic Shoot reflection

1. A challenge that i encountered was getting everybody in the class to act normal and not cover there face because they were "camera shy"
2. One technical aspect of photography that i had problems with was trying to find lines.
3. I would have tried a little longer to find lines in a class room for a photo.
4. I would keep the frame picture the same.
5. I think the easiest rule to achieve would be rule of thirds or simplicity.
6.I think the hardest rule to achieve would be lines or balance.
7.I'm totally clear on all the rules.

Avoiding mergers

1. I did well on the following rule since i cut off half of the boy body off the picture (bottom right) and cut off the girls arm off (bottom left)
2. The subjects are the 2 girls in the middle of the photo.
3.It is not very specific on what the subject is but its because i was not using simplicity.

Lines

1.I didn't follow the rule very well since there isn't really a lot of lines to tell where it is leading to.
2. The subject is the teachers board. Notice how the lines of the shirt lead to the board.
3. It is not clear what the subject is.
4. One thing I could of done better is get closer to the teacher then it would of been a little clearer.

Simplicity

1. I followed the rule pretty well. i couldn't zoom in anymore or it would be kinda creepy.
2. The subject is the girl with the striped shirt.
3. I think its pretty clear what the subject is.

Balance

1. I followed the rule pretty well.
2. The subject is the guy with the red shirt and the girl with the purple shirt.
3. It is more or less clear to see who the subject is.
4. One thing I could of tried to make the photo better was to try to take the photo at another angle for the viewer wouldn't be able to see the other students in the background.

Rule Of Thirds

1.I followed the rule good.
2. The subject is the girl with the green jacket.
3. I think it is clear who the subject is.
4. I think I could of taken this photo at a different angle.

Framing

1. I followed the rule well.
2. The subject(s) are the students in the frame.
3. It is clear to see who the subject(s) is.

Filling the frame

The frame is the people at the bottom of the photo and that really tall guy to the left. The school of fish is filling that frame.

Action and Emotion

The action of this photo is students from a school are protesting. You can see the emotion on there face, full of anger, and determination of getting what they want!

The Story

I think the visual story is a special ed. girl that won homecoming queen. Other girls, would think that she would never have a chance at being a homecoming queen. But she ended up being homecoming queen no matter what anybody said.

post shoot reflection

1. One challenge I encountered during the photo shoot is trying to get a photo for grumpy. I didn't wanna be awkward to people in the halls telling them to make a grumpy face so I didn't so i tried to take a picture of a teacher in a class room through a window but I could obviously see that it was causing to big of a distraction to the people in the class room.
2.A technical aspect that I found my self thinking about the most was how to take multi-photos. I kept holding my finger on the button to take pictures with but it didn't do it!
3.Now that I know the basic rules of photography I would have done the rule of thirds in at least one of my subjects in my pictures instead of the subject being in the center
4. One thing that I would keep the same is the pictures i took because I thought they were smart(:

mergers

Half of the mans body (bottom corner the right) arm is cut off the picture.

framing

The building to the right of the picture has fallen and has dent over, creating a frame for the picture.

Balance

The two people on the field are creating balance since one is to the left and another to the right.

Lines

The lines from the tower lead the viewers eye's to the falling man, and tells what direction and where he is going to end up.

rule of thirds

The subject is the smoke from the twin towers and is at the top left of the picture

Simplicity

The focus is more on the building with a big hole and smoke coming out of it instead of the focus being on the people watching in horror.

Red, Metal, Grumpy

Red
For tow away zone, which hold RED firetrucks. And if people's car gets towed their faces will turn RED.
The rules of composition are in my photo by simplicity. The photo is focusing on the red FIRE LANE TOW AWAY ZONE sign.

Metal
For Metal Water Fountains.
The rules of composition are in my photo by showing balance. The way it is letting it show balance is by two water fountains side by side.

Grumpy
For school because it gets children angry and grumpy!
The rules of composition are in my photo by lines. The sidewalk leads the viewers eye to the school.

6. I am not interested in shooting these same prompts. I would be interested if we had different prompts though.

Great black and white photographers, PART 2

Berenice Abott, who was best known for her black and white photography of New York City buildings and urban design of the 1930's.
She was born in Springfield, Ohio on July 17, 1898 and died on December 9, 1991. She attended Ohio State University but left in 1918. At first she pursued journalism, but then became interested in theatre and sculpture. Abott first became involeved in photography in 1923. Man Ray hired her as darkroom assistant at his portrait studio in Montparnasse. He was very impressed by her darkroom work that he let her use the studio for she can take her own photographs. She started her own studio on the rue du Bac. After a short time studying photography in Berlin, she went back to Paris in 1927 and started a second studio on the rue Servandoni. She did a book called Changing New York in 1939. She did many other books of her photographs.

Bastrop fire 2011

This photo impacted me the most because it shows how fire fighters struggle to put out the raging wild fire. Also, you can tell that the fire goes on and on and on, but you can not see the fire that well because of the giant clouds of smoke. My heart goes out to the firefighters struggling to put the wild fire out and the people, who's homes have been destroyed by the fire.

4 words that I think are important

View Finder- is what the photographer looks through to compose, and in many cases to focus, the picture
Rangefinder camera- is allowing the photographer to measure the subject distance and take photographs that are in sharp focus.
Parallax-is an apparent displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines
Roof Pentaprism- is a five-sided reflecting prism used to deviate a beam of light by 90°

Inside of a camera.

Aperture- A space through which light passes in an optical or photographic instrument, esp. the variable opening by which light enters a camera.

Shutter-A device that opens and closes to expose the film in a camera

Exposure-The action of exposing a photographic film to light or other radiation

Depth of field-The distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera

F-stop-A camera setting corresponding to a particular f-number

Focal length-1.The distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror and its focus 2.The equivalent distance in a compound lens or telescope

 Switching between manual and auto focus is controlled on the lens as well as the image stabilizer switch. On the camera body you can see the lens lock release. At the top right you can see the AE/FE lock button that seconds as the index key when in Playback mode, and next to that is the AF point selection button that seconds as the magnify button when in Playback. Underneath of these two buttons is the small speaker for audio playback. To the left (right of the LCD screen.) we can see the AV/Exposure compensation button, which allows you to switch between shutter speed and aperture values in Manual mode, or exposure compensation in Program mode. When in playback, this button acts as the delete button. Next is the Live View/Movie shooting button. Pressing this button will enter Live View mode when in a still image mode, or will Start/Stop video recording when the mode dial is set to Movie mode. Below that is the Quick Control button for the T3's shortcut menu, which is also used to access the Direct Print function while in Playback mode. To the far right of it you can see the DISPlay button, which controls the amount of information shown on the LCD screen. Continuing on down, we have the 4-way controller, which has several jobs. These include navigating the menu system, scrolling inside an enlarged image in playback mode, and a quick recall of specific camera functions. Pressing "Up" will display the ISO settings, "Right" accesses the AF mode, "Down" gives access to the White Balance modes, and "Left" toggles the drive mode (burst/self-timer). Lastly we have the Menu and Play buttons at the bottom.
