Extra Credit

1. In New York City, photographer Umar Abbasi had seen the killing of Ki Suk Han, a man who was run over by a New York subway train after being pushed onto the tracks by an anonymous person.
Abbasi had taken out his camera and took photos of the man about to be killed. Abbasi tried to warn the river that something was wrong, but the driver was too late and Han was crushed and rushed to the hospital and was later pronounced dead.

2. The photographer was trying to alert the driver that something was wrong.

3. I honestly don't think the photographer should've taken the photo.

4. The photographer did not do the best he could in this situation because he could have tried to help him off of the tracks.

5. I disagree with the decision to run this photo because it shows a human being about to be killed and I just don't like it.

6. Capturing the image of life is more important to a photojournalist because they work to capture the moment not to be in it.

7. I think a photographer should help the person if they're in a serious situation so no I don't think they should just stand there and take a picture.

8.Photojournalists should always avoid influencing events as they happen because then the photograph that they take won't be a real thing.

9. The most appropriate response would be that he could've tried and helped the man, but we also have to think about if he had enough time to save him and if the train was coming to fast.

The Three Pillars of Exposure

F2.8

F16

What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
The person/object that is closest to the camera.
The smaller the Aperture the greater the depth, the higher the Aperture the smaller the depth.
Aperture impacts Depth of Field by making the main subject sharp and the background blurry during a large f-stop and the opposite during a small f-stop.

High Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter Speed

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light:
a.) the dunking booth- High Shutter Speed
b.) the food eating contest- High Shutter Speed
c.) the rock climbing wall- High Shutter Speed
d.) someone working at a booth- Slow Shutter Speed
e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- Slow Shutter Speed
f.) the Diamonds performance- High Shutter Speed

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

a.) The dunking booth - High Shutter Speed

b.) The food eating contest - Slow Shutter Speed

c.) The rock climbing wall - Slow Shutter Speed

d.) Someone working at a booth - Slow Shutter Speed

e.) The DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle - Slow Shutter Speed

f.) The Diamonds performance - High Shutter Speed

Auto - The camera selects what the shutter speed will be depending on it's surroundings.

Aperture Priority - You can change the aperature manualy but the camera changes the shutter speed Automatic Manual - You can change both aperature and shutter speed by hand

ISO 200

ISO 3200

1.It will be easier to capture the moving objects of the players in action.

2. If you have your camera mounted on a tripod or sitting on a flat surface. Your camera will most likely need more time to capture the scene and anything that is moving is probably going to look like a ghost.

3. To set my ISO to a higher number to be able to freeze motion 

F4 - 1/250:  The background is blurryF5.6 - 1/60:  The background is less blurryF8 - 1/60:  The background is less blurryF11- 1/60:  The background is more clearF16- 1/30:  It's the same the backgroundF22 - 1/8: When the background is more clear and blurry.

At slow shutter speed people are blurry.A higher shutter speed will solve the problem. The lowest shutter speed is 1/40.

Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

What first caught my eye was that they had more nature photos and of people than the other photographers. I chose the photographers I chose because they had a different taste in the photos and they had taken the picture carefully.

I see trees, snow, tall buildings, and street lights. The street lights are reflecting off of the trees and snow perfectly. The night sky makes it look more wintery also.

I smell the wintery mix of snow and rain. The trees giving off an oaky smell.The smell of cars in the air.

I hear the trees blowing in the wind. The snow rustling down the street. The cars driving by.

I taste the rain hovering in the air. The snow coming down from the sky. And the different tastes of nature.

I feel the snow falling down on me. The trees brush me by. The air blowing by me.

What I would like to create to show the world my photographer is to make a blog and and tell people what he did and the great photographs they took.

Microwave Mistakes

One time I microwaved greasy fajitas and it just started exploding and it sounded like I was microwaving popcorn

Smart Phone App

My smart phone app would show and locate the different restaurants you could go to depending on your event. I would be helpful by showing where you could eat and the directions to the restaurant. It would cost money because then I wouldn't be able to make a profit off of it.

Africa PowerPoint Presentation

This was my favorite picture because it shows the different types of trees africa has that we don't normally see and I also like the baby giraffe. Lines, Balance, Framing, and Avoiding Mergers are show in this picture.

A. The photographer that took this picture used a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses 

  B. He wants to be different from everybody else.

C.He wants to show the animals in the state of Being.

D. To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera. The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes

Academics Shoot Reflection

What was difficult for me was trying to find the different rules and trying to be creative with the pictures. I was thinking most about trying to focus on the picture and I corrected this by moving the lens into its correct spot. I would be able to know what pictures to take if I ever did this again. I would keep the areas the same. The easiest rule I think I can achieve is Lines. The hardest one will be the Rule of Thirds. I think Avoiding Mergers is the hardest to understand for me and I can try and understand it more if I get a better explanation.

I have a big window and my bed is right in front of it.  I have a bunk bed that i still use from my childhood and then i have a bother bed from when my sister used to live with us.I have a huge dresser in front of my bed. I have a small closet in the corner and i have a big bathroom. I am most proud of my bathroom because I had never had my own bathroom. I had to share with my two sisters and it was always crowded.

Stress

I cope with stress by listening to music until I forget about it and I try not to think about it too much or else I'll go crazy.
