Rules of Photo Composition

 Simplicity 

I chose this photo because you can see the tower only and a little of the tree on the far left side of the photo.

The Rule of Thirds

This photo shows the man on the left and not near the center of the picture .

Lines

You can see the lines coming off the sun and making sun lines in the left and in the center in the photo.

Balance 

The buildings make a "V" shape right in the middle of the picture and shows the small building in the middle look like the middle  of the letter v.

Framing

This photo shows the mood in it and coloring to the background makes it more than a simple photo but a beautiful one. At the right time and place this why i chose this photo.

Avoiding Mergers

For this photo two men are cut off from this photo, on the left you can only see the back body of the man. On the right side you can see the half the front side and not the back side of the man i the right side.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Photo manipulation has been a problem for a long time because some journalist have been turning the original photos into new photos that make them look like they taken the way they are. As people do this     they get cot at the end and are fired from the job that they previous had. Also they to make the photo look bad so people might think they did a good or bad thing in the photo. I think that they are trying to hide the truth to the people so they won't find out what actually happen in the photo.

 Unethical
They replaced her body with someone else body and only left head so people could think that this is what she really looks like.

Less unethical
They actually did met but no one got the photo so i think is is ok, at lest they met at new york.

40 Greatest Photo Ever

Kim-Ho-Young

I chose this photo because it is sad between north and south Korea people

have been separated from each other since 1950-53. It is truly sad that they haven't
seen each other because of the war going on.

 Justin Lane-Pool
I chose this photo because it sad, the father stops and finds his sons name on the 9/11 and prays for him. That is why i chose this photo and also 9/11 was really a sad day for people how lost there love ones.

Vanderlei Almedia
I chose this photo because this is really sad :(
The dog owners is dead and the dog goes and set right next to her at the grave. It is really touching and I think the dog was really loyal to  so thats why she goes and sit right next to her grave.

Post Shoot Reflection

http://mariaphotojblog.blogspot.com/

I love how she got the angles to get the photos from, and they are very interesting. She got really good shots for her Red,Metal, and Happy photos, they are very good and background soots it well. 

These are very good photos but could be improved by different angles for the photo and the lighting of the photos to show more of the pictures form.

National Geographic contest

This picture is my favorite because by looking at it, it makes me feel in peace and it also makes me happy and joyful and a little sad at the same time. I just love the texture of the background of this picture, its so lovely with the sun started to come up.

The photo that i would submit for this contest would be a grassland with animals running across 

it.

Camera Parts

Aperture- Is a hole which light travels through.

Shutter- It controls the duration of a photographic exposure

Exposure- The amount of light allowed to fall on each area

Depth of field- The amount of the distance between the nearest and the farthest objects

F-stop- The ratio of the lens focal length.

Focal length- the measurement of how strongly the system converges

1. Main dial- You change the focus points of the camera, and exposure compensation adjustments to the camera.


2. Lens release button- It is reasonable for releasing the lens from the body to facilitate removal.


3. Shutter button- it captures picture and closes, also how the determined of the shutters speed.


4. Lens mount- it is the interface, between the photographic and the camera body.


5. Speaker- Allows you to hear what recorded on the camera.

Camera History

1. The "camera obscure"("darkroom") effect works in a dark room, tiny hole is created in one wall, through this hole the light is focused and the outside scene is projected on the opposite of the wall.

2. The invention that helped man get closer was when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens made a high quality glass lenses during the 17th century.

3. The first modern camera was made and added by Joseph Nicephore Niepce, he added film which mad e the first successful photograph. The parts were a glass lens, a dark box, and film.

4. What they have in common were they use lens, and film also a box.

5. They capture pictures by when the light passes through the lens then into the camera and final they show the film.

6. The auto mode is when the camera completely controls the flash and exposure. The program mode is automatic-asssist, just point and shoot, you can control the flash with few other camera settings.

7. Portrait mode is when the camera attempts to blur out the background, and the camera will use the fastest available lens setting.

8. The Sports mode use for freezing motion and the camera will use the highest shutter speed possible. It just freezes the motion of things or objects to catch it on the right moment.

9. You should use the half trigger because the camera will respond faster, more control over focus and encourages better composition. When the camera is off-centre it control it back together.

10. The disabled-flash means there is no flash and this will make it more dramatic when the natural light used.

11. The Auto-flash means it will automatically fire when the cameras needs more light to it.

12. When there is too much light it will be washed out.

13. When there is not enough light it will be too dark.

14. The term "stop" means in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change in the brightness of light.

15. There are one "stop" if the world had two suns.

16. If there were four suns there would be two "stops" instead of one.

17. The longer shutter speeds brings more light  in it.

18. The shorter shutters speeds bring less light in it.

19. The aperture controls the the opening as know as the F-Stop. Acts like our pupil.

20. It does it by closing up to restrict light, and opening up to let it through.

Masters of Black and White Photography

This black and white photo was taken by: Ansel Adams.

He took this photo at Nevada Falls it is a beautiful picture that is why i like

this photo. 

 This picture was taken by: Margaret Bourke - white.

This picture show people standing around big fans or engine?( i think :)

This picture was taken by: Paul Strand.

He took this at Fifth avenue it looks pretty cool. :)

The Worst and the Best

 This is my worst picture that i took. It was kind of blurry for the camera to

take the photo, when it was zoom in. You can kind of see the picture.

This is my best picture i took. I believe that when you zoom out the camera

makes the picture more clear then zoom in. It made it good for the background area for the 

picture.
