Avoiding Mergers

The tree behind the soldier almost merges with his head. But it does not, it was a near merger.

Framing

The person is framed by the buildings. Providing a frame.

Balance

The two women make a square. If you were to imagine a lines around them. It makes a geometric shape.

Lines

The lines in this picture all lead to one point. They point towards the wreckage of 9/11.

Rule Of Thirds

The two subjects are both perfectly on the line of thirds, if was one drawn on. Both are moving into the picture, not out of it.

Simplicity

This picture is simplistic because the attention is immediately drawn towards the subject, which is the man. There is no complicated background.

National Geographic Warm-up

This picture is my favorite because every element in this picture
is perfectly captured. It must feel amazing to capture a bolt of lightning
on a camera. I especially like this picture because it looks so dynamic.
 In my world, i would take a picture of the capitol, with a view
of everyone staring up at it in awe. 

Post Shoot Reflection

http://lupitasphotojblog.blogspot.com/

This person's photos are very dynamic and it looks like she's on par with the subjects of each topic.
But the photo's seem to lack any moving themes. Also, there seems to bee a lack of knowledge from the blogger. These two things are what need to be improved upon.

40 Greatest Photo's Ever

Aaron Thompson, File / AP
The Strength of this photo and the look on the boy's face, made me pick this picture.
the gravitation towards the boy's face made it distinct to me.  The absolute look of effort on the boy's face to
restrain his urge to cry is why it made the 40 greatest photos ever.

The simple act of defiance against such a powerful and cruel
force. The show of the fence and the german soldiers and only
one prisoner makes powerful. The power behind this picture made it a 40 top pick.

The show of love in a hostile enviroment made me pick this picture.
The blurred swat and the rioters in the back with the couple focused on is very moving.
The message behind this picture made it the 40 top pics. " Make love, not war."

Camera Parts

1. In optics, an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels.  
2. A device that opens and closes to expose the film in a camera is called a shutter.
3. the action of exposing a photographic film to light or other radiation is called exposure.
4. the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera is the depth of field.
5. F-Stop is a camera setting corresponding to a particular f-number.
6. The distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror and its focus is the focal length.

Camera History

  1.    Camera obscura is an optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a screen. It is used in drawing and for entertainment, and was one of the inventions that led to photography and the camera. The device consists of a box or room with a hole in one side. Light from an external scene passes through the hole and strikes a surface inside, where it is reproduced, rotated 180 degrees (thus upside-down), but with color and perspective preserved.
  2.  In the 17th century, the modern camera came one step closer when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.
  3.     In 1827 Joseph Nicéphore Niépce added the final touch. He added *film* to create the first successful photograph, and the modern camera was born: A glass lens, a dark box, and film.
  4.    Even the latest digital cameras work the same way as their ancestors:
Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. And guess what? The end result is still a photograph.
 5.   Replacing old-fashioned plastic film, digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. Photographs are stored on reusable computer memory devices.
 6.   Auto The camera will completely control flash and exposure. On most cameras this is labelled "auto", on others simply "A". Program: Automatic-assist, just point and shoot. Unlike full auto mode, you can usually control flash and a few other camera settings. 
 7.  Portrait- To attempt to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting (aperture). 
 8.  Sports- To freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible. 
 9.  The "half-pressed" button should be used because:

• faster camera response time
• more control over focus
• encourages better composition  

 10. Disabled Flash is whe there is no flash. There are many cases where you may not want flash at all. The mood of the photograph can sometimes be more dramatic when the natural light is used.
 11. Auto-Flash
In most camera modes, Auto-flash is enabled by default and will automatically fire if the camera thinks it needs more light.
 12. Too much light and the picture will be washed out.
 13. Not enough light and the picture will be too dark.
 14. The term "stop" is used in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change in the brightness of light.
 15. 1   
 16. 2
 17. Longer shutter speeds = more light
 18. shorter shutter speeds = less light
 19. The aperture determines how collimated the admitted rays are.

 20. You can adjust the aperture to Smaller F-stops numbers which will increase the amount of light.

First Photo's

I liked this picture of ms.Derickson because she looks like a nice and cool thug. I told her to put on her "fierce and cool" face. Her chin is out, and she is straight angled, thus making it a good photo in my opinion.

I dislike this picture because she looks less fierce and more awkward. I told Paige to tilt her head at an awkward angle to create the illusion that she is disproportionate. In conclusion, an awkward angle and weird facial expression created this bad photo.
