American Soldier

1) I think this is the most important picture because this is the beginning of his journey being recorded. This is where it all begins and this is what sets up the idea that he will go through hardships because he is applying for the military. This is what starts the story being photographed and wanting to be presented, what the photographer wants the viewers to know.

2) The images work together to tell a story because it is step

by step what happened to this guy, in chronological order. They show what he went through, from the start of this specific journey to the end.

3) The captions enhance the photographs because first of all they are really well done. They are written with good descriptions and information that really helps you understand more of what is happening tot his guy.

4) Ian Fisher is a high school student who decided to enlist into the American Army. He struggles at first, he is not keeping up physically and he also has some behavioral issues too. Though he pushes through and goes through many hardships within the army and back at home. After his long journey, his story ends with him marrying his girlfriend Devin.

5) The verbs definitely change. In the first sentence, they were present tense and in the second sentence they were past.

6) They range from 2-4 sentences on average. The information the first sentence provides is usually about what is going on in the photo, maybe in a little bit more detail. The second sentence usually gives more background information that you can't really get from looking at the photo and that usually is detailed to the photo specifically. The third sentence if there is one usually provides even more background information. There are quotes within some captions and some are four sentences.

7) It's possible because if the photo's are well taken with the objective to show viewers something they are trying to get off and captions are well written, that's really a story with pictures. Photo's do contain details and feelings affiliated with them and that is enough to show something. Captions also provide detail to given in the picture.

8) Well sometimes people prefer detailed sentences with figurative language. You can get more in-depth with a story because the writing is typically longer.

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
