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).

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.
