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.
