Portrait Photography Preview

1. Why is the environment where a portrait is taken an important consideration in portrait photography?
Yes it is because the background could help the person viewing the portrait know to setting of the person in the portrait 

2. Why should portrait photographers use a "Aperture Priority" mode or full manual mode? (From the "Depth of Field" heading.
I would prefer full manual mode to get the best quality pictures i can get

3. How can portraits reveal a subject's character? (From the "Revealing Character Heading."
Portraits can be revealed by objects in the portraits

4. How can the photographer help the subject while taking portraits? (From the "Directing the subject" and "Expression and posture" headings.
By telling the subject how to pose and what they expect from them

Aperture and Shutter speed practice

F4  – looks the best at 1/125 of a second shutter speed.

- The background for F4 at 1/125 of a second for the shutter speed causes a blurred background
F5.6 – looks the best at 1/60 of a second shutter speed.

- The background for f5.6 is blurred out with a 1/60 of a second shutter 
F8  – looks the best at 1/60 of a second shutter speed.
- The background is blurred with a shutter speed of 1/60

F11  – looks the best at 1/30 of a second shutter speed.
-the background is blurred but is still visible 

F16  – looks the best at 1/30 of a second shutter speed.
- background is blurred but is still visible 

F22  – looks the best at 1/8 of a second shutter speed.

- background isn't really blurred, it is very visible 

The images get blurrier as the shutter speed slows down 

making the shutter faster to balance out what you're trying to shoot 

i believe the F5.6 aperture and a 1/60 of a second make the best photograph

The Three Pillars of Photography

PART 1

1) The pupil is essentially what we refer to as aperture in photography
2) The size of the circle represents the size of the lens aperture – the larger the f-number, the smaller the aperture.
3) The size of the aperture has a direct impact on the depth of field, which is the area of the image that appears sharp
4) F22, F20, F18, F16, F14, F13, F11, F10, F9.0, F8.0, F7.1, F6.3, F5.6, F5.0, F4.5, F4.0, F3.5
5) The highest is F3.5 and the smallest is F22

F2.8

F16

High Shutter Speed

 Slow Shutter Speed

A) Fast

B) Medium 

C) Medium

D) Medium

E) Slow

F) Fast

A) Medium 

B) Medium

C) Medium

D) Medium

E) Slow

F) Medium

1) Setting the camera to Shutter Priority mode, where you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically selects the aperture. Pretty much the opposite of Aperture Priority.
2) Setting the camera to Manual mode, where you set both shutter speed and aperture on your own.
3) Aperture Priority lets you set the lens aperture, while the camera automatically sets the shutter speed for you.

200

 3200

 6400

1) because the background would not be as clear as your main focus

2)  Always use the lowest ISO she  possible to get the highest image quality

3) increase the ISO when there is not enough light

4) 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400

THe Eagles Eye Critique

• my favorite item in the paper was the new grade check website. i feel like because i can relate to it more.
• the deferred action for childhood arrivals article, i just thought it was a boring topic. 
• photographs help enhance it because without any pictures it would be to boring and wouldn't catch your attention.
• i would like the newspaper to write more about sports and the NFL. plus it is the MLB playoffs so that is real interesting to me but overall this newspaper is real good.

Academics and Community Service

   1) i picked this photo mainly because of how interesting the subject was and what was going on in this moment 

2) this photo shows the rule of balancing with the people on each side but it also shows merging between the 2 guys on the right which isn't good

Academics Shoot Preview

Action and emotion

i think this photo shows the best emotion and action by catching the perfect moment where the experiment is exploding and it also fits this because their emotion on the kids faces

Fills the frame

 i think this photo fills the framing of it best because i like how the you only see the 2 children and other than that all you see is their center focus.

Best story

i think this photo tells the best story because the children are helping out the others by giving out food. i think this photo shows the best detail of what is happening in the photo, that is another reason why i chose this for the best story

Composition Shoot Directions

Lines

1. i followed this rule by showing lines in my photograph
2. the subject is the lines towards the bottom and running through the center of the photo
3. it is clear to people what to look at in this photo 
4. i followed all the rules but i don't like how the photo came out dark so i can improve on that

Simplicity 

1. i followed this rule well by having a plain background and having one subject
2. the subject is the tv in the center of the photo
3. it is very clear to people what to look at when you see this photo
4. i followed the rule very well, i just wish i could've found a more interesting subject to use

Rule of Thirds

1. i followed the rule by putting the subject somewhere else other than the center
2. the subject is the flowers to the right of the photo
3. it is clear to people seeing this photo what to focus on
4. i think i did very well in this rule and  don't really know what u could've improved on in this picture 

Balance

1. i think i followed the rule pretty well but there was room for improvement
2. the main subject was the "don't not enter" sign and the flags to the right were supposed to balance the photo out
3. it is clear to people what the main subject is but i think its hard to see the flags balancing out the photo
4. i could've improved on making the subject balancing out the photo more viewable 

Framing 

1. i followed this rule well by having a center subject framed by material around me
2. the subject was the person standing in the center of the photo
3. i think it is clear that people know what to look at when they see this photo
4. i feel like i could've improved this photo by not having so much stuff going on in what i used to frame the photo

Mergers

1. i followed the rule well by having something intersecting with the main subject or overlapping.
2. the subject is my partner behind the blue bar
3. it is not clear to people what my main subject is thats why i feel i followed this rule right
4. i think i followed this rule well and know not what to do while taking a photo
