Lytro warm-up & Ethics in Fashion photography

1. I saw cool photos and you can zoom in and use the focus more.

2. You can zoom in and the focus is good.

3. I think a photographer would have to know he doesnt have to get so close to take a photo now that he can zoom in and focus it better.

4. I think it is to photographers cause it makes their picture look a lot better. But for people who are not photographers it may not be worth the money.

Fasion

1. they Photoshopped her face and they put makeup on her.

2. No, because its not cool when they put a ladys face up for the world to see and its not natural

3. im not sure.

4. I guess make up is okay but when they Photoshopped the lady's face it wasnt okay.

5. that fashion has nothing to do with photojournalism.

6. It relates because they took the photo and put it on the computer and photoshopped it.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part II AND Rules of Photography Part II

1.    Tip 1 Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.
      Tip 2 Use a mirror! It seems so obvious, but how to use mirrors is important, too – take it down from the wall, and experiment!

2.

I like these two photos because the onenot looking at the camera and the background on the bottom looks cool with the lake filled with berries.

3.

I chose these photos because i like photos that people take while using objects besides a mirror that reflects.

4.

I picked these photos because they are casual portrait photos and they both look funny.

5.    
     I plan on taking my portrait outside or inside which ever one looks better. I will use the background in my portrait to make the portrait look better. I will probably shoot Ty and it might be outside and like i said i am going to use the background to make the portrait look cool.

5 Mural Photos

American Soldier slide show and captions (review)

A. I think this is the most powerful image because it shows how they teach there kids to hate Americans.

B.
In Denver 1-9
In Basic Training 10-50
In Iraq 51-70
Back In Denver 71-83

 I think when he is in basic training its the most powerful set of images because he becoming a soldier.

c. The set of photos show what high school kids do when they join the army

3.

A. As Ian smokes.

B. The text advances the photo because it tells you whats happening in the photo.

4.

A. Photo #62 Ian looks out his window and sees an Iraqi boy parenting to shoot at him and his squad. "Its sad how they raise they're kids here" Ian said.

5.

A. Not only does the text enhance the photo but the video enhances it more because he's telling it. 

B. The videos are better that the photos because they tell more and its easier to understand. 

C. Some photos are better than the videos because it actually shows him in iraq and tells you directly what he is doing unlike the video where it just shows the photo but doesn't tell you directly what Ian is doing in the photo.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO

APERTURE

Our pupils can be related to the camera's aperture.
The smaller the Aperture is, the higher the Aperture's f-stop value.

The smaller the aperture gets, the more depth of field camera can capture

The Canon Rebel T3 has F4.5, F5, F5.6, F6.3, F7.1, F8, F9, F10, F11, F13, F14, F16, F18, F20, F22, F25, and F29

SHUTTER SPEED

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light 
a.) the dunking booth-1/2000
b.) the food eating contest-1/1000
c.) the rock climbing wall-1/250
d.) someone working at a booth-1/250
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle-1/125
f.) the Diamonds performance-1/4000

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other
a.) the dunking booth-1/1000
b.) the food eating contest-1/500
c.) the rock climbing wall-1/125
d.) someone working at a booth-1/125
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle-1/125
f.) the Diamonds performance-1/2000

Three mode: Auto, Shutter Priority, and Manual.
Auto mode automatically sets the shutter. Shutter Priority and Manual let you set the shutter manually but for Shutter Priority, the aperture is on auto mode.

Canon Rebel T3 has the following settings for shutter speed: 
BULB, 30", 25", 20", 15", 13", 10", 8", 6", 5", 4", 3"2, 2"5, 2", 1"6, 1"3, 1", 0"8, 0"6, 0"5, 0"4, 0"3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/13, 1/15,1/20, 1/25, 1/30, 1/40, 1/50, 1/60, 1/80, 1/100,1/125, 1/160, 1/200, 1/250, 1/320, 1/400, 1/500, 1/640, 1/800, 1/1000, 1/1250, 1/1600, 1/2000, 1/250, 1/3200, and 1/4000 .

ISO

1. You can take advantage of higher ISO during night sporting event, because the higher the ISO, the more sensitive it is toward lights.
2. Using low ISO is best when you want to retain the best quality of a picture, when there's good lightning.
3. ISO should be increased when there is not enough lightning to be able to quickly capture an image.
4. Canon Rebel T3 has ISO of; auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600.

SIM CAM

• F2.8 looks best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed. There is no background visible because its very blurry.
• F4 looks best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed. The background is not visible still but you can see a little bit of the dark windows.
• F5.6 looks best at 1/60th of a second. The background still isn't very visible but you are able to see the color of the walls of the background mixing up.
• F8 looks best at 1/60th of a second. The background is visible at some point because you can tell that it's a building behind them.
• F11 looks best at 1/60th of a second. Background is visible at some point where its just a background while the couple is the main subject.
• F16 looks best at 1/30th of a second. The background looks really great at this aperture because you can mostly see it but the couple still stands out.
• F22 looks best at 1/15th of a second. The background is very visible at this aperture, you are able to see whats going on behind the couple.

The slower the shutter speed is, the more blurry the couple is. To combat this problem you can change the ISO or the aperture to match with the selected shutter speed. The lowest shutter speed the photographer can hold the camera is right at the best list of speed I listed above under the circumstances of different aperture.

Abandoned Theme Parks

               

                        I would like to go to Okpo park in South Korea. I think it would be kinda interesting to take pictures of the cart that hasnt even been touched after it killed that kid. Its kinda cool to look at an abandoned amusement park and see all the rides all rusted and rotten, I think they would all make good pictures.

Funny Captions

                 
               The car has a cow in the back seat in the winter, it is too cold for the cow to be outside so they put him in the back seat.
             
             The driver had a cow in the back seat of his car when it was winter so the driver put him in the back seat.

                 This dudes car is getting booted with a little chain connected to a stop sign during the day because he parked in a wrong spot.

               Earlier today this guy got his car booted to a stop sign with a little chain because he parked in the wrong spot.

                        The car went out of control and and crashed it the bushes right now, because the breaks failed and the driver lost control but I think the driver is okay.

                        Earlier today the drivers breaks failed the driver lost control and crashed it the bushes but the driver just had cuts and bruises.

Great Black and White Photographers PART 3

The photogapher name is Robert Adams

Academic Shoot Reflection

Action or Emotion

This picture has the best action and emotion because everyone is smiling and happy and they are all playing around.

Best Story

This picture has the best story because these students are honoring a flag which might be the US flag.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. Trying to find red, metal and happy because there was a lot to choose from. and not everything was red, metal or happy.

2. Focusing and holding the camera were the ones I worried about the most because at first I didn't know about the focus button and it took me a while to hold the camera the right way.

3. I would hold the camera the proper way and hold it closer to my eye. I would also use the focus button more because i took a lot of blurry photos.

4. I would take the same kind and even the exact same photos again because I got a lot of red, metal and happy photos.

5. I didn't really use any rules for my three photos except happy, I took a picture of a guy and behind him were trees and all that in the court yard.

6. Yeah, I would because it was a lot of fun and i enjoyed it.

Lines

I picked this picture for Lines because you can obviously see lines and how the building is going up in a straight line.

Balance

        I picked this photo to be balance because the pieces of the building makes a shape and the photographer had to balance it out. it makes it more unique because the building part is unbalanced.

Avoiding Mergers

      I picked this picture for Avoiding Mergers because you can see the people clearly and everybody is in the picture.

Rule of Thirds

       I picked this photo because the guy is walking alone and behind him are the buildings. And below him are the paper and dirt and ash from the twin towers.

Simplicity

          I picked this photo because you can see the American flag hanging on a building and the lights are underneath it and shining on it at night. You see lights you see the American flag you see the building you its night time.

Framing

    I picked this photo for Framing because you can see the people leaving the area and above them are the twin towers after the planes hit and it makes a good fram.
