Academic shoot reflection and critique!

1. It was really hard to find things to shoot. It felt really uncomfortable to shoot quiet classes with the camera noises. There weren't many academic classes that weren't busy. Another problem i encountered was that it was really hard to find people that wouldn't stare at you and the camera.

2. I was thinking mostly about rule of thirds and lines because, they seem like some of the easiest and most fun to find. To get simplicity I looked for a subject that was in a simple and clean and clear background. To get rule of thirds I just moved the camera to the side and up or down. 

3. I wish i went into to more classrooms and i more of a variety. I wish would have moved my camera more to accomplish what I wanted.

4. Some of the pictures that i took i really liked but others i disliked.

5. I think that rule of thirds and lines will be the easiest to achieve.

6. I think that balance will be the hardest because it is hard to think of something to balance another subject to or a person and i don't want it to look staged.

7. Again, I think that balance is still a little hard for me, and I could look at the powerpoint or again look at other peoples blogs.

I think she could have done better job on the rule of lines because it was kinda a distracting background and the subject is not really clear.

DSLR

1. The aperture settings on this camera are 2.8, 4.5, 6.8, 11, 16 and 22.
2. The shutter speed settings available on this camera are one second, 1/60 seconds and 1/4000 seconds.
3. The ISO settings available on this camera are 100,200,400,800,1600,3200,6400,12800 and 25600.

ISO



ISO 200


ISO 3200

1. The advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at something with a lot of motion is that the motion is more clear in the photograph.
2. When using a low ISO, there should be plenty of light in the room and when the subject of the photo is still.
3. When there is not enough light for the camera to be able to quickly capture an image or when you need to get ultra fast shots, increase the ISO.


Shutter Speed


High Shutter Speed 


Low Shutter Speed


Sun is up:
a. low shutter speed
b. low shutter speed 
c. high shutter speed
d. high shutter speed
e. low shutter speed
f. high shutter speed

Sun is down:
a. high shutter speed
b. low shutter speed
c. high shutter speed
d. high shutter speed
e. high shutter speed
f. high shutter speed

2. Aperture Priority- When the camera automatically sets the shutter speed and you set the aperture.
Shutter Priority- when you set the shutter speed but the camera sets the aperture, Manual - when you set aperture and shutter speed by yourself.

Aperture


F2.8 aperture


F16

1. We should closely related the eyes to aperture because the lens is similar to the eyes. They both use
shrink, expand, blur, etc.

2. The smaller the aperture the larger the f-stop, and the larger the aperture the smaller the f-stop.

3. The aperture effects the depth and field because it blurs the background and makes the object in front the main focus. If the f-stop is smaller the background will be more blurred than with a larger f-stop.

Photo Manipulation and Ethnics

A. Some of the main points i read about in the articles is that photoshop is very common these days. Photoshop goes as far back to when the camera was invented in the 1600s. Photoshop started to become very relevant in the 1860s. The reason for that was because it has become very easy to watch tutorials and learn from other people how to photoshop. People these days tend to photoshop themselves because they don want to pay a lot of money to have someone else do it for you.

B. The newspapers like Washington Post and New York Times use philosophies like memory and labeling. 

C. It is unethical to alter pictures because it changes someones body. The change peoples bodes by changing the color of them or thinning their bodies and covering blemishes. People also cut others out. They use it to crop out all the little unnecessary things.

D. 
I think this picture is unethical because the people look like they are floating in mid air. The reason this id happening is because the lady on the far right was photoshopped into the picture and everything became unset.















This picture is ethical because the picture is only altered a little bit. All that was done is that the picture is brightened. The picture looks like there is just normal editing and the subject is really focused.
