Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you?
I had no trouble with rules set for the shoot.2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
I was mainly focusing on focus and a little bit of framing3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
I would try to incorporate more aspects and basic rules of photography in my photo's
4. What things would you do the same?
I liked the photo's I took and what I was looking to shoot at. So basically I liked the idea I had set in my mind for my photo's.5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?
Rule of thirds, Balance, and maybe simplicity.6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?
Framing and avoiding mergers.7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
I'm still not clear on lines. I can probably ask a friend to help me figure it out.

Katie had really nice, clear photo's where you could tell what she wanted the subject to be. She also had original photo idea's that I hadn't seen anyone take which drew my eye in and made me want to keep looking at her photo's. One thing she could improve might have been in her first photo, she could have gotten a different angle.

Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO

F2.8 F16+ A1. We closely relate aperture to the pupil (in our eye) A2. The smaller aperture will create a larger f-stop, the higher aperture will create a smaller f-stop A3. Aperture affects depth of field. Depth of field is the subject or what's in focus in the photograph. The aperture has a direct affect on the depth of field, the higher aperture number, the more focus the foreground will be in, the lower the aperture number, the more blurred the foreground will be. Low shutter speed High shutter speed Daylight Photo's: a) slow shutter speed because no motion is taking place b)Probably a medium- slow shutter speed because there could be little motion c)Probably a medium- high shutter speed because the stars are moving quickly but in light d)Again, a medium- high shutter speed because they may not be moving as quick as the stars, but are moving somewhat fast and are in daylight e)Around a medium shutter speed because no one is running in and n...

Abandoned theme parks

1) I would want to visit Six Flags, New Orleans, USA because there are six flags everywhere. And to think theres an abandoned one, that's featured on a website for most creepy, not to mention in America. That's pretty cool to me and would be fun to go visit and take pictures. 2) 3) Five unusual places to visit that I think would be fun to go to are abandoned towns, asylum's, school's, buildings, and churches. 4) this is an abandoned mental institution in Bristol. 5) I would want to document this place because I think it would make people feel something. Obviously creeped out or something like that but I bet I could find some really interesting things to photograph in there. 6) I would most likely need to fly somewhere, and I don't think I would need a really high end camera but just like the ones we use in class and maybe a tripod. I would also need to make sure no one owns the property so I would not be trespassing.

Academic Shoot

1. Balance 2. Color wheel page being colored 3. It is clear to me, other people might have a different eye and focus on the girl coloring, or the girl in the upper left corner, or the books stacked in the background. You never know 1. Avoiding merger's 2. Working students 3. Yes it is clear 1. Simplicity 2. Phone loading 3. Again, it is clear to me, but someone could easily look at the girl holding the phone, school supplies or people in the background
