mural project review

1. a theme that we could use here in school would probably be good of a school Akins is, we would take picture of people having fun learning and coming to school, all the awards that we have and all the academies that are in Akins.
2. i think the theme should be devoted time and effort so that i could turn out really good and so people would understand what we are trying to show.
3. an advantage to use a cameras phone would be easier to edit the picture and it would be better because we always have our phones with us so we won't miss a good moment as easily,a disadvantage is that it might be hard for some people to export the pictures once they take them and the pictures might not turn out so clear and good looking.
4. advantages of using an SLR camera is that the image quality is going to be great, they will look awesome and not so blurry, some disadvantages are that they are a bit heavy and bulky, and people mitt not know how to use them a lot.
5. i think that we should use both SLR and phone cameras because it would make things easier and i think that i would look cool once its al put together.

black and white part 3

1.caught my attention of the other photographers black and white photos are the expressions that it has and that it shows. The shadows and what the photo is about catches my eye. Especially when there is people involved.

2. From looking at the photos of the "Great Black and White Photographers part 2" 

From the first photo of the woman I see the way she look calm and relaxed in this. The person who took the photo must have saw her beauty and wanted a natural chill looking photograph.
When thinking about this photo I feel peaceful for some reason. Just looking at her makes me feel calm.
When looking at the flower photograph I picture hearing birds chirping and feeling the sun on my skin and the wind blowing on my face.
And so looking at the two photos I picture smelling clean fresh air. Maybe some flowers or Dust depending on where the woman is.

3. would like to do a Power Point to expose this great artist. Maybe showing his very first photo he's ever taken and gradually show all the photos that he's taken over the course of his year as a professional artist. Like displaying that even professionals had to start off small and have a rough time trying to get the perfect shot at times but then they end up able to catch their dream of making it big and them well known

Africa: Black and White

He used a Pentax 6711 the reason why he took this photo is because he thought that the man where gonna destroy africa, the hope for taking these photos is to show how peaceful and beautiful africa i quote “On This Earth, A Shadow Falls, Across the Ravaged Land.” the reason why it was my favorite is because i like how the sand comes off the elephant the rule is framing cuz of how the black is around the elephant

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? my camera the first time was a focus one so it was harder.

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. well, i thought about  what my object was going to be. and how harder or easier i would be next time.. i great positions and angles they were almost all clear.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
no i would and get a better angle. of all my shots!!4. What things would you do the same? "everything i think i did really good the first time.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?  Lines 

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?  ":Framing"

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
": The Rule of thirds its really complicated.

academic preview

(filling the frame)

 how it fills the frame is that the boys writing is going across  the screen

 (action and emotion) the action is the girl doing the trust fall and the emotion would be scared based on the look on her face

(the story) the story to me is the blue team was 3minutes from touch down until there running back gets injured      

(my favorite) the reason why this is my favorite photo is because its mysterious and this is something that you would see in your dreams and the girl just standing there in the mist that makes it my favorite

academics shoot

(merge) 1) i followed it pretty well think cuz the guy is slight to the side in the red 2) the subject was the two guys interacting 3) yes it is clear to people what the subject is 4) made the guy in the red come out more

(frame) 1) i followed the rule well 2) edgar is the subject 3) yes it is clear of what my subject is because he is in the center 4) got more of the outlining of the walk way  

(simplicity) 1) i think i followed the rule 2) the girls hand is the subject 3) yes its clear of what the subject is 4) to be honest there is nothing that i wouldn't want to change or do different

 (lines) 1) yes i followed the rule 2) the lines on the locker is the subject 3) yes it is clear of what the subject is 4) i could have backed up and put more of the locker in it

(balance)

1) yes i followed the rule 2) the kids are the subject 3) yes its clear of what the subject is 4) probably would have not put the water  bottle in the way of the shot 

(rule of thirds) 

1) yes i follow the rule 2) the girl twirling the gun is the subject 3) yes it is clear of what the subject is 4) probably would have straighten up the camera got more of a straight and focus shot

photo composition

rule of thirds because it is divided into three and the the building is more focus on cuz there is the tree and the second building and the main one in smoke

merge- because the truck on the rite side is cut off

discussion- because it is alot going on in the picture

simplicity- because its simple and its just the building in the background

framing- this is framing because of how the buildings are the main subject with the blue out lining

lines- because of the lines on the buildings

balance- because of how the buildings are balance
