Week 8- Visual Elements of Fall

f: 5.3

S: 1/50

ISO: 800

10/10/11

 Front of PAA

I cropped this photo on the left side and darkened it a little.

The strongest point of this photo would have to be the bright green moss because it is the only bright color in this photo.

f: 5.6

S: 1/50

ISO: 800

10/10/11

Front of PAA

I simply darkened this photo.

The strongest point of this photo is the middle of the branch because it is the focal point.

f: 8.0

S: 1/30

ISO: 800

10/12/11

Back of PAA

I darkened this photo just a little bit.

The strongest point of this photograph is definitely the fact that it isn't completely in focus. There is a soft look to this photo.

f: 8.0

S: 1/30

ISO: 800

10/12/11

Back of PAA

I changed the brightness and contrast and I made the background darker so that the yellow of the flower would pop even more than it already did.

The strongest point of this photograph is the yellow of the flower because everything else in the photo is almost black so, the yellow really stands out.

f: 5.6

S: 1/320

ISO: 3200

PAA

Front of PAA

I darkened this photo.

The strongest point of this photo is the red leaf that is on the right because it is the first pop of color after the plain white leaf.

Week 7- Summary

I enjoyed trying to capture the feeling of fall in my photographs. It was challenging because not many leaves have turned colors or fallen, but it was good to look for more detailed fall characteristics.

The critiquing process was one of my favorite things about this week because it was interesting to see what other people shoot and what they find interesting to photograph.

Week 7- Five Fall Images

f: 11.0

S: 1/100

ISO: 200

10/3/11

Front of PAA

I lightened this whole photo.

I don't like this picture. It needs a better composition.

f:10.0

S: 1/500

ISO: 200

10/3/11

Front of PAA

I cropped and darkened this photo.

This photo needed to have more fall colors, but the sky is a nice color.

f: 13.00

S: 1/320

ISO: 200

10/3/11

Back of PAA

I lightened the background and darkened the leaves.

All this photo needs is more color.

f: 9.0

S: 1/500

ISO: 200

10/ 3/11

Front of PAA

I just made this a little lighter than it already was.

I like this photo. Although, it could use some more color.

f: 9.0

S: 1/250

ISO: 200

10/ 3/11

Front of PAA

I changed the exposure.

Needs better lighting, but it has a nice angle.

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.
