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

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.

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.
