Africa and abandoned theme parks

1) I like his work because for a starter I love pictures of animals and nature and also I love how he got the animas in their actual life instead of staged. All of his pictures from this album are black and white which makes the animals stand out and look more realistic compared to other animal pictures I've seen. I really love how in the picture of the Giraffes he got the sun in the background and how it looks like the sun is shinning down upon the giraffes and praising them and how the glare from the sun is around the giraffes figures instead of blurring the out. I wonder what setting he used to get that to work. I want to take pictures like that some day.

2)

3) This photo is my favorite because of how he focused the picture mostly on the little baby elephant in the middle of the two other elephants and how he blurred the edges of the photo to make you focus more on the center of the picture. And this photo really gives me a lot of emotion because I love elephants so much and any picture of an elephant I will love.
4) You can see framing in this picture because the little elephant is framed by the two other elephants.   And also lines because all of the elephants legs and trunks create lines along the picture.
5) Camera- Pentax 6711
     Lenses- Two fixed lenses
6) While directing a music video he fell in love with the animals so he tried to film the animals but it didn't work so he changed over to photography and used the camera to capture his feelings for the animals.
7) he hopes to show people animals in their state of being instead of in action which is what most photographer produce.
8) "I'm not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild. What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us. To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera. The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes." -Nick Brandt

1) Lincoln Park, Dartmouth, Massachusetts because the park has cool old stories. I like how everything is broken down and really old looking and i would like to see the park in person to t=get the full effect of the theme park.

3) - South Congress

- Cocoa Beach

- Kansas City

- Ohio six flags
- India
4)

5) This place would be interesting to take pictures of because if what happen there with the hurricane hitting it and flooding the whole park, it would be cool to see the remains of the hurricane. Also the people in Ohio are so cool. I would like to see how different Ohio six flags is from texts six flags.

6) I would need a camera, flight ticket, money, hotel planning, and permission to get into the park.

Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

1) What  caught my eye was that all of his photos are black and white but still seem to show color in my mind.
2)I see The ground low beneath. and all the objects on the ground. I feel like I'm on top of the world.
I smell The ocean water of the harbor. And smell all the seat and hard work that this town has put in to this town and making it successful.
I hear the honk of the boats and the wind whipping my hair.It brings joy and excitement to my heart to hear those sounds. The harbor is one of the most beautiful places.
I taste the salt of the ocean water. And it brings the memories of the beach back to mind. which reminds me of my family.
I feel the wind against my skin. And it tickles the hair on my arms as it slides up my arms to my neck.   I laugh from the feelings and it brings me pure happiness.
3) I would like to create a mural because i could easily display all of the photos together.

1) What caught my eye in this picture was that the flags are blurry but that it makes the picture have more meaning.

2) I see all the kids that have been to this carnival in the past and all the parents that went broke here.

I smell all the popcorn and cotton candy that has been cooked and bought at this carnival.

I hear all the kids begging there parents to go on the Farris wheel with them and all the young couples on their first date laughing nervously at each others jokes.

I taste the sweet air thats filled with the taste of candy and little kids happiness and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.

I feel the hands of little kids dragging me along to go on the rides with them and on their faces is a great big smile which make me feel so happy and decide to go along with them after all.

I laugh as the joy floods from my body as we board the Ferris wheel.

3)I would like to create a mural because i could easily display all of the photos together.

Mural Project

1) Yes, we could do a bunch of different themes like sports, academics, theatre, and many others. And they could brighten up the school a lot.
2) we should do both phones and cameras because then people without phones could take pictures but also photographers that want to put effects on the pictures also could.
3) we should put a couple of the murals all around school so that it wouldn't just be one place that had the mural.

Academic shoot reflection and critique

1) I found it hard to take pictures of people without them laughing and not to get in the way of the teaching of the class.
2) The focus and the angle
3) I would take more pictures so i have choices instead of having to pick certain pictures.
4) I would keep how i took the pictures the same because i like the angles that i took the pictures at.
5) Rule of thirds.
6) Avoiding mergers
7) Lines and i can look up pictures of lines and go out and try to shoot some on my own.

Comment-
1) I feel like on your third photo that you could get in the middle of the hall to get balance in your picture.

Academic Pictures

1)

1) I followed the rule of thirds and got Angel in the corner so I could get the rest of the class but blur them.

2) The subject is Angel and what he's looking at, because everything else is blurred out around him.

3) Yes because he s the only thing that is not blurred out and is taking up half of the frame.

4) I think that i could have waited till everyone was sitting down and not moving around.

2)

1) I followed the rule framing by using the chalk boards to frame the class.

2) The subject is the students as a whole.

3) Yes, because the frame is filled with the students and nothing else is distracting in the image.

4) I think I could have shot the picture from a different angle to get a better view of everyone. 

3)

1) I used the rule of framing because I used the girl in the orange dress to frame the bottom and the right side and the girl in front of her to frame the left side.

2) the subject is not very clear in this picture,

3) No, because both of the possible subjects are used to frame in the picture.

4) I would have shot from the front to get the girls fence in the picture.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO- What are They?

F2.8

F4.0

1) The aperture is closely related to the pupil of your eye.

2) The smaller the aperture the less light thats let trough, therefore the picture is less focused on one thing and the F stop is bigger, the higher the aperture the more light thats let through and the more the picture is focused on one part of the picture and the F stop is smaller. 

3) The size of the aperture controls how in focus the whole picture is, the smaller he aperture the more non-blurry the picture is, the bigger the aperture the more sharp and focused on one thing the picture is.

Slow shutter speed

Fast shutter speed

1A) Slower

1B) Slower

1C) Faster

1D) Faster

1E) Faster

1F) Slower

2A) Slower

2B) Slower 

2C) Faster

2D) Slower

2E) Slower

2F) Faster

3) Auto where the shutter speed and aperture are both controlled by the camera, Aperture Priority where the aperture is chosen by the users and the shutter speed is automatic , Manual which is where the user controls both the shutter speed and the aperture.

ISO 200

ISO 3200

1) you will not have to deal with there being any motion blur in your picture.

2) most of the time we should use low ISO but when you want to take a moving picture you have to do a higher ISO

3) Use higher ISO when you are taking a picture of something moving or the picture is not dim.

Aperture settings: 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22

Shutter Speed settings: 1 Sec, 1/60 sec, 1/4000 sec

ISO Settings: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, 25600
