Must Be Converging Lines

I first rotated this 180 degrees. Then I changed the levels. The left level is at 54, the mid level is .66, and the right level is at 201.

Week 4/ Thursday

To crop photos, key short cut: apple k

Standard Resolutions:
   Print: At least 300
   Web/Computer Screen: 72
   
You can always downscale an image with no loss in quality, but you cannot take a small image and upscale it and have it be the same quality. The quality will be worse.

Name of photos should include: location, people/objects in photo, type of shot(close-up,long shot, etc.), and anything else you want to tag(emotions, style of photos). Be specific/detailed.

Week 3 Summary

9/8/11

Dial Options:

Aperture Priority- You set the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed.

Shutter Priority- You set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture.

Shutter Speed- the slower the shutter speed the more light comes in. Therefore, the faster the shutter speed           the less light comes in.

Manuel- You choose all settings.

AF- Auto Focus(on lens)

MF- Manuel Focus(on lens)

The bigger the aperture the less time the shutter speed needs.

If you're shooting motion pictures your aperture needs to be at 1/125.

If you need to catch something in motion quickly you need a fast shutter speed and large aperture. This is dependent on how much light is needed.

Trifecta: Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

 

I enjoy the close up of the raindrops on this plant.

I lik the use of a fast shutter speed in order to capture this water drop in slow motion.

The detail that a macro lens captured of this animal's nose is incredible. Seeing every bump and hair is amazing. 

The sepia tone of this flower is very pleasing.

It would take awhile to figure out what exactly this object is. I like how it is abstract looking, but is an everyday fruit piece, a grape stem.

Week 3/ Wednesday

Week 3

9-7-11

Rule of Thirds-  a grid divided in 9 parts. The eye never focuses on the middle of a photo. Subject should be towards the top and left.

Foreground, middle ground, and background.

Cropping- taking a part of the picture out.

Tonal Range- the amount of black and white you see in a picture.

Basic Shapes: Square/rectangle, circle, and triangle.

Juxtaposition- Taking 2 elements that are different and comparing and contrasting them.

Two families of shapes- Geometric(defined) and organic(less defined, nature) shapes.

DSLR- Digital Single Lens Reflex

Photographers write with light.

Aperture- controls the amount of light that goes into the camera's sensor. The lower the aperture the lower the opening and the higher the aperture the bigger the opening. Controls depth of field.

F- Stop- Focal

Shutter Speed- controls the amount of time/length of time that light gets through.


I enjoy looking at depth of field photographs. Particularly of nature. I like shooting detailed photographs of everyday objects with my macro lens. Here's an example:

Week 2- What I Learned

    Word of the week was articulate meaning to speak with clarity and detail. I learned muse en scene is a stage setup. Also, we talked about low and high angled compositions and the different emotions they give off. Framing is very important with your composition and includes what you leave in the picture and what you leave out.

     School this week has been all easy classes and hardly any homework. I've enjoyed statistics class mostly because it is all worksheets and no book work! This is a nice break from all the previous, hard math classes I've taken. I am looking forward to Beach Day tomorrow and the end of another school week!
