Best tips:

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.

A mirror or some other reflective surface offers an even easier way to take a self-portrait.You can use your camera as a prop, and hold it away from your face.

Photographing your shadow is another way to do a self-portrait. Shoot early or late, when the sun is low in the sky.





 I choose this photo because I really liked the background and the position he choose to do.

 I choose this picture because to me this picture says this little girl is alone but she is strong.


 I choose this picture because to me this picture says these eyes have seen a lot.

 I choose this picture because I really like his idea and how it came to look.

 I choose this photo because he is doing his thing and that is was this photo is suppost to be about.

I choose this photo because it is a everyday kind of photo and its a good one.


Who will you shoot? I have to talk to my friends but its most likely going to be Amanda Cantu
Where will you shoot and what will you do to make the shot successful? I would like to shoot at school just because its better and I don't know if we would be able to take it off campus.


American Soldier

I think the most powerful image because she is still willing to marry Ian after waiting so long.


Set 1:Home-1-7
Set 2:Basic training-8-50
Set 3:Iraq-51-70
Set 4:Return home-71-83

I think the most powerful setting was when he returned home because he returned safe after doing something he wanted to do for a long time.

The images work together by going in order in which they happened.

The photos that are focused on just Ian it is in the past tense.

The captions enhance the photos by putting a story/setting of what is going on when the photo is taken.

F2.8 - Looks the best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed. At F2.8 there is no background visible - it is very blurry and all you can really see is the couple.
F4- Looks the best at 1/250 of a second shutter speed. At F4 the background is blurry but you can kind of see it in the background.

F5.6- Looks the best at 1/60 of a second shutter speed. At F5.6 the background looks like a blurry 2-D, and the couple pops out 3-D.

F8- Looks the best at 1/30 of a second shutter speed. At F8 the background looks is visible but its still focused on the couple.

F11- Looks the best at 1/30 of a second shutter speed. At F11 the background is visible and the couple is also visible.

 F16- Looks the best at 1/15 of a second shutter speed. At F16 the background is visible and the couple is also visible.

F22- Looks the best at 1/8 of a second shutter speed. At F22 the background is visible and the couple is also visible.




How well did you do? Do you understand Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO better now?
 I did pretty good I got a on both tests i got a 84 on the first one and a 92 on the second one. Yes I understand more about them.

ISO



ISO 200
ISO 3200

What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?
   -the pictures come out better
set my ISO to a higher number to be able to freeze motion.

What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
    -Always try to stick to the lowest ISO. When there is a lot of light use the lowest ISO. Your camera needs time to capture the scene so anything moving will look like a ghost
you should always try to stick to the lowest ISO

What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
    -Set the ISO to a higher number to be able to freeze motion. Set it high when you want to take a fast picture.

fast/slow shutter speeds

FAST SHUTTER SPEED


SLOW SHUTTER SPEED



If I were assigned to shoot at Blue and Gold night, which was earlier this month, what shutter speeds do you think I would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:
At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light
a.) the dunking booth-Fast Shutter Speed
b.) the food eating contest-Fast Shutter Speed
c.) the rock climbing wall-Fast Shutter Speed
d.) someone working at a booth-Fast Shutter Speed
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle-Fast Shutter Speed
f.) the Diamonds performance-Fast Shutter Speed
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-Slow Shutter Speed
b.) the food eating contest-Slow Shutter Speed
c.) the rock climbing wall-Slow Shutter Speed
d.) someone working at a booth-Slow Shutter Speed
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle-Slow Shutter Speed
f.) the Diamonds performance-Slow Shutter Speed

Shutter priority-When you set the shutter speed and theand the camera automatically set the aperture
manual-where you have to set the shutter speed and apertue
automatic-where the camera sets the shutter speed and aperture. 

F16/F2.8


 F16



F2.8


 

 What part of the body should we closely relate aperture? _EYES_
Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture _THE LARGER IT IS_, the higher the Aperture _THE SMALLER IT IS_.
3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field? 
       -It makes the foreground objects clearer and the background more blurry
