Portraits and Self Portraits

Two tips I think are important are to 1) Play with lighting and 2) Shoot candidly

I liked this environmental portrait a lot because you can tell what he likes to do and that he loves it.

I chose this self portrait because I thought the photographer played with the lighting very well and he also incorporated polaroid pictures into the photo.

I chose this Self portrait because I thought it was cool that he used a mirror to show his face .

I chose this casual portrait because I liked how they had a unique, pretty, and over all eye appealing background and I thought it really enhanced the picture.

I chose this casual portrait because I liked how blurred the background was and how that affected the lighting of the photo. I also liked how it was candid of this woman laughing. I felt like that really made the photo stand out.

I liked this environmental portrait because you can clearly tell he is passionate about music and I think it's cool he likes something so much.

I am going to shoot myself, my friend Sophie, and my cat Tom. I will shoot outside when I shoot Sophie in an area with lots of greenery and inside my house for when I shoot my cat Tom. To make the shot successful I will make sure I have the appropriate camera settings set for the picture.

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...
