Framing

Framing

This is a great photo of framing because the shadowing of what looks like the broken wall is around the fire fighter climbing the ladder. If this photo was a little more concentrated on the square and cut out a little on the right I think it would look better. 

Balance

Balance

This photo shows balance because the photographer got the bridge and the twin towers in the photo. They are equally on each side of the photo causing a balanced look.

Lines

Lines

This represents lines, because the main subject in the middle has a background of the building lines. They lead to the subject making it catch our eye.

Rule of Thirds

Rule of Thirds

The two ladies are positioned on the left of the photo showing the rule of thirds. You can also see that the woman on the bottom is on an intersecting line and so is the one on the top.

Simplicity

Simplicity

This photo shows simplicity because the main subject is clear while the background is blurred out. One thing that could be different about this photo is the red truck in the background. 

Prompt Shoot #1

                                         Happy

In this photo I used rule of thirds. Instead of placing the flower in the middle, I put the flower to the right bottom. To make it a little better I could put the flower a little bit more down. 

                                     Bowie

    

In this photo I used lines to show the letter of "The Kennel". It could have been better if I didn't get the top in the photo.

                                      Metal

    

In this photo I shouldn't have centered the metal chain. It would look better if I used the rule of thirds and maybe had it more focused on the chain instead of the wood and the orange flooring background.

                                    Square

    

I used the lines in this photo to show square. There are many lines going around the square and there isn't just one square shown in the photo. The crossed lines make it more appealing too.

The Camera

The Camera

1. The Obscura effect is an optical effect discovered in about 500 BCE. If you go inside a dark room and cut a hole in the wall, the hole light will be focused while projecting the light on the opposite wall. 

2. The invention of(by Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens)making high quality glass lenses and the understanding of optics helped us get closer to making the modern camera. 

3. The first parts of the first modern cameras were a glass lens, a dark box, and film.

4. The light still passes through the lens exposing the film today, like in ancient times when the first camera was made.

5. Digital cameras use an electronic sensor(CCD)to capture images.

6. When using auto mode the camera does a lot of the focusing and flash for you, where as on program mode you can control the flash and other settings.

7. Portrait mode is used to blur out the background of images and the camera will use the fastest lens setting

8. Sports mode is used to caption motion without a blur. It works because the camera used the fastest shutter speed available.

9. You should use half press before taking a photo because it will help focus the camera, ultimately making the camera respond quicker. If you don't do this the camera would lag taking the photo slower.

10. The symbol mean that flash is disabled. You can use this when you want to take a more dramatic photo capturing the natural light.

11. This symbol is auto flash, used when the camera thinks the photo needs more light. 

12. If there is too much light in the photo, the picture will look washed out.

13. If there is not enough light the photo will look too dark.

14. A "stop" is a relative change in the brightness of light. 

15. The planet is one stop brighter if there are two suns.

16. The planet is four stops brighter if there are four suns.

17. A longer shutter speed captures more light. 

18. A shorter shutter speed make the photo more dark. 

19. The aperture controls how much light there is. 

20. You can increase the amount of light by opening up the lens more.
