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...

Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 prompts (Square, Metal, Happy, Bowie) I had a little bit of a challenge with getting the photo's I wanted in the time limit we were given. 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 thinking mostly about what photo I could take to where someone could get a relative idea of the prompt, but I was also focusing on having a focused picture, because I always seem to try and get closer to objects in the photo's I take. 3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I think I would try to incorporate more of the aspects of photography into my photos and see if I liked the outcome better.  4. What things would you do the same? I thin...

100 Photographs

1) I chose A Man On The Moon, and First Cell Phone Picture because they were both big accomplishments. Where would we be without having Neil Armstrong walk on the moon? How would our life be different without the cell phone, it was what led us into a huge technology advancement. I also chose the Black Power Salute because of all the events it came to just to fight for equality, and that we have com far from the Equal Rights Movement. I chose The Terror Of War and Hitler At A Nazi Party Rally because I thought Hitler caused war and death and that brings terror and worry. There are wars still going on in our time today it's almost like it's part of our life and that it is gaurenteed to happen. 2) For A Man On The Moon, I read that it was Aldrin in the photo, that Neil Armstrong took. Aldrin didn't really care for being the second man on the moon. Neil Armstrong got lot's of credit and Aldrin not so much. In the First Cell Phone Picture I read that a man named Kaun was b...
