*I liked how they simply explain whats happening in the photo
*I also liked the different pictures they put up
*One thing they can improve on is to make the website more creative

Rule of Thirds

In this photo you should imagine this photo divided 3x3. Each person has their own spot in the photo and if they were all on the right side facing that side it would look like the people had been cut off.

Mergers

In this photo you can see a merger. The picture is of a man helping clean up the city, but in the background you can see a destroyed building, so this distracts you from the man.

Simplicity

In this photo you can see the simplicity of the background. The building is the main subject of the whole picture.

Balance

                                                                            In this photo you can see the balance in this because you would be able to separate this photo into two and everything is evened out in this picture.

Lines

                                                                                 In this photo the lines on the building have a weird angle. If you look at them closely it makes an illusion of them moving.

                                                

Framing

This photo is framing because its mostly focusing on the action in the photo.This is one of the twin towers from the 9-11 attack.

National Geographic Warm-Up

This is my favorite photo because it shows the lightening lighting up the sky. I also like how theres a bunch of dust, dirt, and clouds in the sky, but theres nothing else surrounding it so you can actually see the storm.I also like how the stars are shining right above the sky.

40 Greatest Photos Ever

                                                                              I picked this photo because its showing a normal human being doing something for another animal.

I think it made the greatest 40 photos ever because it shows how man kind can care for other animals.

                                                                                                I picked this photo because I thought it was really sweet. It think it showed how a lot of the soldiers that went into the war had families.

                                                                                       I picked this photo because it showed how happy he was to be able to hear.                                  

Great Black and White Photographers PART 2

                 

Photographed by Alfred Stieglitz
   Born in 1864 in New Jersey and died in 1946 in New York. He moved with his family in 1871 to Manhattan and to Germany in 1881. He went to school in 1882 as a student of mechanical engineering in the Technische Hochschule (Technical High School) in Berlin. He started photography when he took a photochemistry course in 1883. From then on he was involved with photography, first as a technical and scientific challenge, then later an artistic one. He returned with his family to America in 1890 and became a member of advocate for the school of pictorial photography and photography back then was considered to be a legitimate form of artistic expression.
  Stieglitz established the Photo-session group in 1902 and the influential periodical "Camera Work" in 1903. In 1905 he founded the first of his three New York galleries, The Little Galleries of the Photo-Secesion, which eventually came to be Gallery 291.
   Stieglitz opened another gallery called The Intimate Gallery; a month later Duncan Phillips purchased his first works from Stieglitz's gallery.

Red, Metal, Happy Photos

                                           This is red, metal (metal door), and happy!                                                  

                                                                         This is red 

My Monster Meal

         A meal that I would eat is one that has a chocolate shake with warm salty fries stuck at the top with M&Ms and caramel melted on the shake. The chocolate shake would be from Dairy Queen, the fries would be from McDonalds.

Camera Parts

                                     

                                      Camera Parts

Aperture- an opening, usually circular, that limits the quantity of light that can enter an optical instrument.

Shutter-a movable cover, slide, etc., for an opening.

Exposure-the act of exposing.
Depth of Field-the range of distances along the axis of an optical instrument, usually a camera lens, through which an object will produce a relatively distinct image.
F-stop-the setting of an adjustable lens aperture, as indicated by an f number.
Focal Length-the distance from a focal point of a lens or mirror to the corresponding principal plane.

Camera History

                                 

                                      Camera History

1. The Camera Obsucra Effect

     Camera Obscura is Latin for "dark room" and was the first camera. The hole acted like a lens, focusing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark chamber.

2.What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera?
    In the 17th century, the modern camera came one step closer when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.
3.What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce?
   In 1827 Joseph Nicephore Nicepce added the final touch. he added *film* to create the first successful photograph, with a glass lens and a dark box.
4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce's camera?
   They have the same things an older camera has.
5.What do digital cameras use to capture an image?
   Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. The result is a photograph.
6.What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program Mode?
   Auto mode will completely control flash and exposure, Program Mode is automatic assist and will just point and shoot.
7.What is the Portrait Mode used for? How does it work?
   To attempt to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting (aperture).
8.What is the Sports mode used for?How does it work?
   To freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.
9.Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?
    A half press will tell the camera that you're almost ready to take a shot and to be prepared, triggering for the focus lock and a faster full-press response.
10.What does this symbol mean?
     This symbol means there is no flash.
11.What does this symbol mean?
     This symbol is auto-flash. It will automatically fire if the camera thinks it needs more light.
12.What happens to your photo if there is too much light?
     The result will not look like "real life".
13.What happens to your photo if there is not enough light?
     The result will not look like "real life".
14.What is a "stop"?
     The term "stop" is used in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change in the brightness of light.
15.How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two sons instead of one?
     One stop brighter.
16.How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four sons instead of two?
     Two stops brighter.
17.What affect does a longer shutter speed have?
     More Light
18.What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?
     Less light
19.What does the aperture control?
     Before light reaches film, it must pass through an opening.
20.When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light?
     If you make the aperture smaller.
