Aperture, Shutter Speed and IOS

Picture with f/2.8



Picture with f/32

1. The eye is easily related to aperture.
2.  The smaller the aperture the blurrier the back ground the higher the aperture the more focused the back ground.
3. If you have a high aperture then you can give the appearance of depth or 3D in the picture but if you have a low aperture then you can give the appearance of close up 2D affect.

 High shutter speed 

 Low shutter speed

1.  1/500 second
2. 1/600 second
3. 1/1500 second
4. 1/700 second
5. 1/400 second
6. 1/1000 second

1. 7/10  second 
2. 5/10 second
3. 3/10 second
4. 4/10 second
5. 6/10 second
6. 4/10 second

1. The three setting relating to shutter speed are aperture priority mode, shutter priority mode, and it must be on manual mode.

1. The advantages of sooting in a higher ISO for a football game or something with action in it is that you can capture the action as its happening without having blur.
2. However you should use low ISO in a low light situation so that you don't have a fuzzy picture.
3. You want to use a high ISO when your capturing a fragment of an action when there is plenty of light.

1. Aperture: 2.8, 4, 8, 11, 16, and 22.
2. Shutter speed: 1, 1/60, and 1/4000
3. ISO: 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, and 25600

Manipulation and Ethics

1. Manipulating images can be dangerous as a professional photographer and you can end up loosing your job because of it. However there is a person battle because to receive work as a photographer you have to be good at what you do and if you manipulate your photo to make it better is it really that big of an issue. In the end it comes down to how much you change the photo.
2. The New York Times and the Washington Post say that the line of manipulation of a photo is crossed when you have changed the original colors of the photo.
3. I agree with the New York Time it think photo can be manipulated to the point of it changing the original colors of the photo. However I do think you can edit you photo with a black and wight filter because your not changing  the color you just changing the apprentice of the colors.
4.        I think the photo of Oj Simpson was the most unethical because they changed the original colors of the photo and there fore making ho, look more mincing.
5.   I think this is the least unethical photo because they made very small changes such as straightening  teeth that dose not diminish the person or the object in the photo in anyway. They also changed the position of the the person just so they could show both of them more not for another reason.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 prompts (square, metal, happy, bowie)? I think the biggest challenge I had with the first photo shoot finding something metal.
2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus,framing, holding the camera, ect.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly? I found my self thinking the most about the camera position. I think I did this the best when I took the picture of the tennis ball I needled on the ground to take it.
3. If you could do the assignment again , what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I would defiantly stand different and also I would take more time on the individual pictures.
4. What things would you do the same? If i did this assignment agin I would probably retake the pictures of the land scape that I took.
5.  Finally go back and edit you blogs with the 4 photos (square, metal, happy, bowie) tell me what rules of composition (which you just learned about) did you end up actually achieving. Did you have any? Yes I achieved framing in my first picture "happy" and the rule of thirds in my third picture "bowie".
6. Are you interested in shooting those same prompts again why? Yes because I would like to see how I improved in my photography skills and also it was a lot of sun taking pictures.

2. I really like how this photographer for his square picture made the picture the square not the object he made the pattern of tiles into a square. The second thing I liked that this photographer did was he made his happy picture very clear that the flowers made him happy not the bush or the leaves the flowers.

3. I think that this photographer could have made his bowie picture more specific and more direct that it was about bowie.

Basic Photo Composition

Framing: this is a good representation of framing because it has the two towers as the focus of the piture but since the photographer is standing far away he gives the appearance of depth  

Lines: this photo is a good representation of lines because all of the lines or sections of the building are pointing down.

Simple: this is a good representation of a simple picture because it has only one central idea.

Rule of Thirds: this is a good representation of the rule of thirds because the firefighters are in the,bottom, middle and top right sections of the invisible grid.

Balance: this is a good representation of  balanced because both sides of the picture are symmetrical. 

Merged: this is a good representation of a merged picture because it is hard to tell if the people or the trees are the main focus of this picture.  

Prompt Shoot #1

Happy: this is a good example of framing because it gives a since of depth. 

Bowie: this picture displays the rule of thirds by focusing the bowie logo at the center of the picture.

Square: this is simplistic because it only focuses on one the pit.

Metal

Camera Questions

1. The camera obscura effect was a achieved by creating a hole in one wall. Though which light would be focused, into a completely dark room with a lens. When the light hits the lens it is then projected up side down on the the opposite side of the room.
2. The creation of high quality lenses in the 17th century was a huge leap in production of modern cameras.
3. The first part of the modern camera that we know today was film which was created by Niepce in the 19th century.  
4. The thing that both modern cameras and the first cameras have in common is they both have film this is a necessary part of photography and cameras.
5.  The new digital cameras use digital film to capture images even though they have everything that an old camera has a dark box, lenses, and film.
6. The difference between auto mode and program mode on a camera is that auto mode the camera completely controls everything however on program mode the user can usually has control of a few settings such as flash.
7.  The portrait setting on a camera is used for taking pictures were you want the thing that closest to be the most apparent. They do this by making the back ground a little blurry.
8. The sports function is used for people that want to take a lot of pictures one after the other to capture change over time such as taking pictures of your child's first steps. 
9.  The best reason to use the half press trigger on your camera is that you will take better pictures because the camera will have time to focus.
10. This symbol is the symbol for disabled flash.
11. This symbol is the symbol for auto flash which is were flash is automatically on the minute you turn on your camera.
12. If you photo has to much light it will be washed out which is were the whole picture is light.
13. If you photo has to little light it will be two dark and you wont be able to see anything.
14. The tern "stop" refers to the change in brittleness. 
15. There is 2 stops more light if you double the light bulbs from two to four. 
16. There is 4 stops more light if you double the light bulbs from four to eight.
17. The affect of long shutter speed is more light.
18. The affect of short shutter speed is less light.
19. The aperture is like a pupil it control how much light passes though the lenses of the camera.
20.  The way you increase the amount of light that goes though the aperture is make the aperture setting number lower.
