BEST PICS OF THE SEMESTER.

THIS PICTURE IS MY BEST BECAUSE:

• It shows the clarity of the object and I also like the colors you can see in the lens of the camera prop. 
• The main subject is centered in the picture.
• The scenery and people in the background enhance the depth making it look nice.

THIS PICTURE IS MY BEST BECAUSE:

• The subject looks really normal shows realistic emotion.
• The subject is not centered which fits perfectly because it makes the picture look better.
• I like how the red color radiates from the picture due to the contrast it has with the abundant colors in the photo.

   

THIS PICTURE IS MY BEST BECAUSE:

• This picture shows pattern making the picture better because it contains a rule of composition.
• The picture is really clear making the small details pop out.
• The picture shows motion from the blur the spinning ball creates.

Favorite Photos - Iron Chef boy Farley

I like this one because I like the way I captured John's facial expression. His expression makes me laugh every time.

This is Elpidio and John showing off their acting skills. This picture gets a chuckle out of me because of the way Elpidio tries to portray John as a homeless person, with his arm over his back. However, during the photo session John was smiling and making weird noises making the photo remind of the fun hilarious time we had.

This is Simon Michael making his house-wife cleaning face with a sort of a winky face. This picture makes me laugh due to the way Simon is hunched over endlessly sweeping the dirty concrete.

F 64 Group Assignment

The member of f/64, Imogen Cunningham inspired me to take these close-up photos of nature because she was known for her botanical photos. Imogen Cunningham also practiced taking black and white pictures due to the place technology was at that time of her career. That would explain the reason of the uploaded pictures.  To the best of our ability I tried to replicate each detail as best as possible

If you wish to know more about her and personally view how my pictures relate to her recognized practice of shooting close-up photos of nature, here is a reliable source:

Having Fun

"Reporting Data of Three Photos"

f 1/500 ISO 100 f/7.1

f 1/80 ISO 100 f/7.1

f 1/60 ISO 100 f/7.1

Studies in Shutter Speed

TV F 1/500 is a shutter speed that is faster than f 1/30 meaning that the picture will look clear even though it was captured in motion. This shutter speed works well to freeze a moving subject if one wants to view all the crisp details.

     

TV F 1/30. TV f 1/30. This photo was taken with the slow shutter speed meaning that the subject will look with a slight lag when you compare it to a faster shutter speed. The lag may commonly be described as a blur or over all describe the picture as a "Blurry Picture."

f/3.5

f/3.5

These pictures were taken with f/3.5 contrary to the given Blog post title as you can see the background is slightly blurry compared with the subject of the pictures. I decided to post three pictures that portrayed the subject in many angles so the depth can emphasize the subject differently.

Studies in Depth of Field

f/22

This picture does not focus clearly on the background creating a blur with the characteristics of f/22. The pillars also aid the depth by looking as if they're ascending on an angle.

"One Photo Composition Rule"

Composition Rule:

LEADING LINES

The lines that are formed by the Brick Wall on the left of the Subject creates the composition rule of Leading Lines. These lines emphasize the subject because all of the lines point directly at the subject almost as if they were arrows.

Composition Rules and Guidelines

BeforeAfter

5 elements of composition

The rule that I liked in the website was Pattern because it is abundant and simple and it can stress certain features in a photo. This will make every detail important and vital.

10 Top Photography Composition

Th rule that I liked was Depth because it shows the real potential of what a 2-D image can convey to the audience. It captures the correct angle expressing the sense of presence in the image even though the viewer may be in an entire different place.

Top 10 Composition Tips

The tip that I liked was " Pay attention to every detail" because a photo captures a specific image that has a restricted boundary due to the frame. This means that whatever is in the picture should be highlighted so the viewer can get the complete photo. This teaches people that each small detail counts.

Nikon 5 Easy Composition Guidelines

The tip that I liked in the website was Leading Lines because it works as a guiding hand through the picture to the viewer. It makes it easier to comprehend the picture and amazingly, it aids the person get the emotion from the picture.

14 Composition Techniques

The tip that I liked was Framing because it can work as a decorative and attention grabbing tool that will emphasize the targeted object.

First Portrait Assignment.

       My subject was John Moore and I took pictures of him in front of a gate. Even though we took pictures in two different days and in two different areas I strongly felt satisfied by having a metal background, leading me to choose 5 pictures of that same day. I accomplished my goal of trying to make the subject forget about the camera and capture a unique picture by acting normal as if a camera didn't stand between us. I constantly maintained a descent conversation with him and pointed out things around us so he won't be focused and locked directly at the lens of the camera. This would describe all the different actions John is pictured in and in some of them jokes made him smile realistically and vividly.

   These were the other Subjects that I photographed.

"My First Photo Outing - Principles of Design"

The Principle of Design that our group had was Pattern. Our adventure throughout the school quad led me to my destination of a trash bin that contained a dotted pattern throughout the casing. It shows a repetition of dots vertically and horizontally depending on what point of view it is seen in. This dotted pattern is important in the sense of "first impression" because it transforms the dull ,unattractive trash bin into something with more work put into it, rather than having a regular trash bin with no design. Ultimately, the pattern is evident due to the numerous amount of dots in a series that are pierced in the metal casing of the trash bin.
