Rules of Photography Part II

Self Portrait and Portraits Part II

Tips for self portraits . 
1- If you’ve got a remote trigger, that’s usually a better and more controllable than trying to use the self-timer.
2 - If you’re taking photos in a studio, use a mannequin for light testing: Much easier than guesstimating!
3 - Use a tripod. Seriously. While it’s possible to get good photos while you’re hanging on to your camera at arms-length, it’s a lot easier if you’ve got the freedom to move around a bit.

1- The settings in which you make pictures of people are important because they add to the viewer's understanding of your subject. 
2- In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. 

1 - A mirror or some other reflective surface offers an even easier way to take a self-portrait. In most cases, the camera will be included in the scene (but this can help make a statement about your enthusiasm for photography).
2 - You can also capture a self-portrait by supporting your camera, then frame your picture and focus with a stand-in. 

Environmental portrait

What i like about this photo is that is show the environmental and how she is doing her thing in the sun light this photo is just perfect 

Photography self portrait

 What i like about this photo is that is taken two people to take it in the took it in a little ball in that looks awesome i would like to try it. 

What I like about this photo is that it is very creative and is something very different you dont see every day.I chose this photo because it is a very cool picture.

Casual Portrait

What i like about this photo is that is just something simple its jut them 3 people in a simple background. I Like it because it get the the top to bottom of there body.

This Photo is so beautiful is perfect. In awesome it has the nice background in the are holding hands this is just the great photo ever. 

 Well my plan is to take a person or many two in get them out side the school and try out the ISO, and shutter speed with them if not del then go do some different place around the school. Use the sun for the photos in some other stuff.

American soldier

I think the most powerful picture was when he & his buddy were putting up Christmas lights. because it really sinks in you're missing the holidays  

B. Through the photos, Ian is in different locations, each set of photos from the same location comprise a short series or set.  1 -9

10-30, 33, 34, 37, 39-44

  50-70

  31,32, 35,  70-83

Which set of images was the most powerful? Why?   When he was in Iraq. Because he can't turn around and just go home. He's really fighting and putting himself in danger. Reality. 

How do the images work together to tell a story? The different locations threw out the day/ months. Also the captions really help understand whats going on.

For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written? present

B. How do the captions enhance the photographs?They are really into detail &  help make the story, kind of makes you feel like you know Ian.

4. Now its your turn to write a few captions - DO NOT COPY THEIR WRITING

First sentence:

"Chapter 50: Time to head to iraq, Time to get serious. I miss home."

Second sentence:

Example:

Under the "Chapter 1: Signing Up" group of photos, look at the third photo in which Ian is wearing his cap and gown for graduation.

The caption reads: Ian studies his transcript and diploma as he departs the Bear Creek High School commencement at Red Rocks amphitheater

Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed Blog

UNDERSTANDING APERTURE

F 2.8

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
The Table

2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture F number the higher the Aperture F number.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?

The sizes of the aperture makes a big impact on the photo, the smaller the aperture is the more blurry it gets.

F16

1. The sky really relates to aperture.
2. The smaller aperture the wider the depth of field is. The higher the aperture the less light there is in the photo.
3. Aperture impacts the depth of field by the bigger the number.

SHUTTER SPEED 

Slow Shutter Speed 

 Fast Shutter Speed

1. If I was assigned to shoot at Blue & Gold night photos

a.) the dunking booth - high shutter speed

b.) the food eating contest - high shutter speed

c.) the rock climbing wall - high shutter speed

d.) someone working at a booth - high shutter speed

e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle - high shutter speed

ISO

ISO 200

ISO 6400

ISO 3200

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game? The advantege is that you since the lighting isn't so good a higher ISO will help you with the light and the action thats going on with the players.

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO? 

Try to use it whenever possible.

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?Its better used when there isn't that much light.
