Mural Project

1. I think a nice theme would be people pictures of people laughing or smiling but genuinely doing so.

2. I think we should have cameras available.

3. We should put the murals on the lockers or by the entrance of every hall.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. I  wasn't what to photograph at first and the camera was very sensitive to movement, so staying steady was challenging.

2. I thought the most about focus referring to the issue i stated before trying to steady the camera for a clear shot.

3. I think my pictures were decent but i could improve on my picture of the moving branch.

4. i would do the picture of the eyes the same i like how they turned out.

5. I don't think i achieved any.

6. I would be interested seeing how now i've learned more about the topic.

1. I liked the lighting in the picture and the perspective.
2. She needed improvement on the quality.

Academic Post Shoot Reflection and Critique

 1. One of the challenges I encountered was with avoiding mergers. I found it difficult because we had little experience with it and it wasn't easy to spot it happening in an open environment.

2. I thought about focus the most. I thought of this because I like to take close up photos because in my opinion its the most pleasing to look at.

3. I would probably try to get better examples of avoiding mergers.

4. I would keep the balance and lines because they turned out really clear.

5. I think I will be able to achieve rule of thirds the easiest.

6. I think the hardest will probably be avoiding mergers.

7. I am still not entirely clear on avoiding mergers but i know i will be able to learn and prepare myself.

CRITIQUE:

1. I like the perspective taken with the pictures and the action in them.

2.I think the brightness could be improved in these photographs.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO pt.2

1) The part of the body that we should closely relate aperture to is the pupil of your eye.
2) The smaller the Aperture the larger f-stop, the larger the Aperture the smaller f-stop.
3) Aperture impacts Depth of Field by: a smaller aperture makes the objects in the front and back of the photo clear, but a larger aperture makes the objects in the front clear but the objects in the back blurry.


At the Beginning While the Sun was Still up and the Courtyard Still Had Reasonable Light
a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree
High Shutter Speed
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings
Low Shutter Speed
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym
High Shutter Speed
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard
High Shutter Speed
e.) people streaming in from the front doors
Low Shutter Speed
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop
High Shutter Speed Towards the End When There's no Sun and has Gotten Dark Enough That You Can't See From One End of the Courtyard to the Other

The three settings your camera has regarding shutter speed are: Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual. Aperture Priority is when you set the aperture, but the camera sets the shutter speed; Shutter Priority is when you shut the shutter speed, but the camera sets the aperture; and manual is when you set the aperture and shutter speed.

1) The advantages of a shoot at a higher ISO for a basketball game or a night football game are: capturing the moment without a blur, or to get fast shots.
2) The suggestions that the author made about using a low ISO are: use a low ISO when there's plenty of light to get the most detail and have the best quality, or use in low light environments when you're camera is mounted on a tripod or sitting on low surfaces.
3) The suggestions that the author made about using a high ISO are: use a high ISO when there's not enough light to capture an image quickly, when shooting indoors without a flash to get rid of the blur, get fast shots, or when you think you can introduce blur to the image.1) The advantages of a shoot at a higher ISO for a basketball game or a night football game are: capturing the moment without a blur, or to get fast shots.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

1. In photo manipulation the difference between editing for journalism and editing to make something meaningful are two things with a huge difference. Big newspapers are more strict whereas tabloids are more laid back with ethics of photos.

2. The philosophy of larger newspapers is that colors from the original photo should not be altered.

3. I think its perfectly okay to change the contrast or brightness of a photo to make the lighting less harsh, or brighter so its easier to see. But you should crossing the line into an unrealistic and unethical manipulation. Once something is altered in a way that deletes features or changes something entirely, it isn't a reasonable and honest adjustment.

4. This photo is altered in a big way, because it took someone who wasn't affiliated with the original picture and cropped them into it.  It's an inaccurate display of information.



5) This photo is the least unethical of the ones on the post, because it didn't change an entire event like the one above it only altered a woman's appearance. The altercations can be seen as dishonest and personally i don't think they were necessary, but overall a minor adjustment.
