Mural photos

Aperture, Shutter sound, ISO- how does it work?

Aperture 

 Aperture setting F2.8

Aperture Setting F16

Questions.
1. I See Aperture as the face maybe since its the first thing people should look at when seeing a picture.
2. The Smaller the aperture size/setting the higher the Depth of Field
3. Depth of field has a direct impact on image because the bigger the aperture the more sharp the photo seems.

Shutter Speed

Fast shutter speed

 Slow Shutter speed 

Questions. 

1.When the sun is still partially up, what kind of shutter speed would i use at-

a.) the dunking booth -Fast
b.) the food eating contest -Slow
c.) the rock climbing wall -Slow
d.) someone working at a booth -Slow
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle -Fast
f.) the Diamonds performance. -Fast

2. 3 settings my camera has

Auto basically sets everything for you aperture and shutter

Aperture priority you set aperture while camera sets shutter

Manual you set both aperture and shutter

ISO

Questions. 

1. Advantages of shooting high ISO at a basketball game is probably that you get more detail in every shot. 

2. The author said it is better to use low ISO when theres a lot of light because thats probably when you will receive the most detail from your photo. 

3. The author said that when there is a less light , indoors for example, that thats when the ISO should be increased because she uses it to freeze motion. 

SIM CAM

f 4 looks its best at 1/125 Sec the Backround looks like a blur of nothing though.

f 5.6 looks its best at 1/60 Sec You can see the background a little better but the couple is more visible. 

f 8 looks its best at 1/30 sec Again the buildings are becoming more clearer.
f 11 looks best at 1/15 sec The lighting in the background is changing.

f 16 looks best at 1/8 sec We can see that theres buildings now. 

f 22 looks its best also at 1/8 sec the background is clear now.

At slower shutter speeds the people are more blurry and the photographer could maybe take this at different angles or keep it on one shutter so the people come out nice and clear.

Depth of field test 

i got a 95 on it and i thought it was pretty easy for me there was one that tricked me because it was a little weird framed but after i got it wrong i realized what my mistake was so i could have gotten a 100 if i just would have paid more attention to detail. 

Shutter speed 

i got a 96 again i missed 1 but the picture in this test also tricked me because i was pretty sure of my answer but it was also a problem of i didn't pay much attention to detail when i should have. 

Funny Captions

 The San antonio zoo is sick of people mistreating , littering and throwing waste into the habitats of there animals. One week ago they put up a sign saying "those who throw objects at the crocodiles will be asked to retrieve them." Now who wants to mess with a crocodile?

Students are getting lined up for their annual shot. while they were lining up Chan was dared by his classmates to go first but called him a chicken because they thought he wouldn't do it. As you can see by the looks in his classmates faces, Fred, Bob, Jimmy, Stewart and Pack, They were all surprised by the way Chan took they shot an they themselves aren't to exited either. 

Isn't baby lisa the cutest thing? 1 year and still no teeth, But teeth or no teeth she doesn't hesitate in making herself noticed when she yells out gibberish at her brother for talking while she's trying to watch Dora the Explorer goes to rescue the princess. 

Peer Critique

I critiqued S.L , A.C , and V. G i liked a lot of there balance photos and i liked there photos in general but what most of them had trouble with was applying the rules of composition to the right photo because they had a very good example of simplicity but they used it for framing of something like that. i saw this mostly with A.C. also V.G could have taken much better photos if they would have shot from different angles and positions.  S.L also could have worked on how the photo was taken but Overall all were 5 or higher on a scale of 1-10. They were all Good Photos.

Great Black and White Photos part 3

I really like the simplicity of the Calla lilly was very beautiful because of its simple background and theres not many of them is just one and it's a photo thats simple yet has a lot of meaning to it.
I really like Wine Glasses because the lighting and framing to it made the glasses sorta sparkle in a way that caught my attention. I also like the various number of glasses that almost make one i overall like these to photos because i believe that any photo that grabs your attention is a good photo.

In Calla Lilly 

I see a simple flower being held up against a plain background. It hasn't been damaged as much as normal ones would have been which is why it was chosen for the photo. I see the simple beautify of a calla lilly. 

I smell Freshly mowed grass across the field surrounding the flowers. I smell the sweet sent of lilly being brought to my nose by the wind. 

I hear the lawnmower die off into the distance. I hear bees exited to recieve nectar for this beauty of a flower. I hear the rustling of the leaves that are being picked up by the wind mixed with the sweetness of the lilly. 

I taste the flavor of my gum running out just like my patience on trying to get the perfect photo of this lilly. I taste the sweat coming down my cheek from this hot summer day. I taste the sweet taste of victory now that i have my photo. 

I feel the soft gentle petals of the lilly. So breakable and innocent. I feel the beads of sweat begin to cover my forehead .I feel the wind blow my hair out of my face. I keep my eye on the lilly while feeling the top of my camera preparing to take my last photo. 

Academic shoot reflection

On this assignment I did a lot things different , i moved around more to get pictures from different angles, I knew how to apply the rules of photography so i kind of waited for the right moment to get a shot. I think these pictures are way better than my past pictures. I focused a lot on focus this time just because my hands are pretty shaky so i tried focusing standing still then shooting. When the teacher was explaining to her students i tried shooting fast to capture her movements and some pictures just came out blurry so i worked a lot to have that not happen anymore. I would take more pictures if i could do it again and go into different classrooms, and i liked the angles in which i got the pictures so i would probably keep that part of my process. Simplicity would probably be the easiest to shoot next time , that or Balance is pretty easy to find also . Framing would probably be the hardest for me because i don't really see framing in photos so that would be difficult for me. So i need to look at more examples of framing in order to understand it better.

Mural Project Preview

     A Theme i think would be cool to shoot around school could be Anything Music related like Beats or regular Headphones, iPods, Posters, shirts with Music Notes, The band, Stereos, or radio systems, choir anything music related could show people walking up and down our halls that akins students express ourselves through music in not through drugs or violence music is all we need.
    I Think the quality of the cameras is better than phones but instagram is a awesome way to take photos also i love instagram.
    I would love to put it in the main entrance not in the halls way back because it would be cool to have someone walk in and see how much students are involved and the kind of students here.
