great black and white photographers part 3

1.) What caught my eyes was the subject, i chose these pictures because they are very clear and could tell a story.

2.)
I see bravery
I smell sweat
I hear complains
I taste dirty air
I feel that this is unfair

abandoned theme parks

1. I would like to visit the theme park in Prypiat, Ukraine because i find the Chernobyl incident where the power plant exploded interesting.This theme park that was effected by the nuclear explosion and before was very dangerous to enter. But recently radiation levels have dropped dramatically and now its safe to visit for short periods of time.

Laundry day! Moose style...

Partying too hard. At least he never drove drunk. 

lady gaga? Never mind it was just a cat with a melon for a hat. 

Academic Shoot reflection

1. The challenges i encountered while trying to take photos while following the rules were getting the right angle and following the rule.

2. the technical aspect of photography that i I really thought of was focus.

3. If i could do the assignment again i would hold the camera different.

4. The things i would do the same are following the rules.

5. The rule that would be easiest to achieve would be rule of thirds.

6.The rule that i think would be the hardest to capture is balance.

7. The rule I'm still not totally clear on is lines.

Academic shoot photos

lines

1. I think i followed the rule pretty good.
2. The subject in this photograph is a tiny little bird hiding on top of the green metal.
3.To people the subject is not clear.

Simplicity

1.I followed the rule good.
2.The subject in this photograph is the vending machine.
3.The subject in the picture is very clear to people.

Rule of thirds

1.I'm proud of myself because of how well i followed the rule.

3.Its very clear to people what the subject is in this picture.

3.Yes, the subject is clear.

Framing

1.I would say i did good following the rule.
2.The girl on the computer working on an assignment.
3.It should be clear to people what the subject is.

Avoiding mergers

1.i guess i did okay.
2.The girl on the picture disagrees with the hand sanitizer.
3.no really clear to people what the subject is.

Academic shoot preview

I chose the second place photograph titled "Quantum Mechanics" which appears to have a student solving a difficult problem.

1.I like how it was taken and the emotion of the phtoto as well.
2. simplicity

1. I think i could take photos like these inside a classroom
2. I would like to visit and take photos in a art classroom
3. As the photographer i will use the rules of photography that i have learned to take amazing photos

Filling the frame

This frame is filled simply with emotion. They are all holding hands and honoring people who have lost their lives for their country. This photograph is emotion filled with gratitude, sadness, and thankful.

Action and emotion

This picture shows lots of action and emotion as you can see. These students seem to be in science class conducting a experiment that was a success. I really like how the experiment just exploded, it would have been boring if wasn't the way it is. 

The story

I think this photograph could tell a visual story because of what seems to be happening in the picture. The story would probably be about a teacher helping out these two students and they succeeded.

Photomanioulation and ethics

In Israel that year, Photographer Menahem Kahana took a picture for the new cabinet. But Once it was published on a newspaper someone had fooled with the image. Some one had used a software program to replace female ministers with with two men to create an all-male cabinet. Image manipulation has recent precedents in the middle east.

This kind of editing is unacceptable because its changing up what really happened in that picture.

i think this one is the most unethical because its not her body in the picture.

Least unethical because its just teeth.

national geographic warm up

This is my favorite picture because gecko looks silly hiding there.I like how the gecko camouflages well on that palm tree leaf. The camera angle is pretty good too.
I would like to submit a photo of a scenery a relaxing one.

Touching people

I think this project is inspirational, one of a kind and  interesting. If someone approached me with a camera and asked if i could participate in a photo shoot  and touch a stranger i would be surprised and wonder if im ok with touching a stranger then again the idea is strange so i might give in. I think an unusual photo shoot similar to this one that would be fun is people and their dog because sometimes they can look alike. Overall the pictures were really good, i enjoyed looking at them.

Some of the greatest photos taken

Photo by Marc Riboud
I picked this photo because the message is very clear and i like the angle.

Photo by Rich LamI think his photo made it into 40 most powerful photographs because of what happened that day and not just how the picture looks and looks pretty cool.

Photo by Jeff Widener
I liked how his picture was taken and how its iconic.

The camera

1.The camera obscura effect is latin for dark room and is the first camera, to create this effect you need a hole to act as the lens to focus and project light into the wall of a dark chamber.

2.In the 17th century perfecting and understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera.

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

4.Uses light.

5.Digital cameras use light that passes though the camera and exposes the film.

6.Auto mode means the camera will completely control flash and exposure and Program mode will automatic-assist,just point and shoot. unlike full auto mode, you can usually control flash and a few other camera settings.

7.The portrait mode is used to try and blur the background.

8.The sports mode is used to freeze motion by using the highest shutter speed.

9.You should use the the half press trigger button to focus.

10.Turn off flash/will not use flash.

11.Auto flash.

When you wan the camera to handle when to use flash depending on the light.

12.Too much light and the picture will be washed out.

13.Not enought light and the picture will be too dark.

14. "stop" is used to represent a relative change in brightness of light.

15. 2

16.4

17. the longer shutter speed the more light

18.the shorter shutter speed the less light

19.brightness

First photoshoot best and worst

The best photo

I really like this photo because of the angle i took it in, you can really see the background and that tells you that hes in school.Also you can see the lamp on the right and a dudes face on the left corner looking at my model. I like the pose he is in, its relaxed with a bit of slouch and some head turning action, so in the end he looks like hes awesome.

The worst photo

I don't like this photo because of how far it is and how it shows mostly the room and not the model. The room is taking the spotlight from the model and presenter looks weird. The only thing that really caches my eyes is the book shelf in the background which is not what this picture of.  

Welcome to my blog

This is my photo journalism blog where i will be posting things related to photography, i hope you will enjoy it ;D
