Semester Final Exam Part 2 and 3

PART 2

There is a shooting down town but we don't know yet who's responsible for it and why they are doing this. This is a photograph taken of a man shot dead for not paying a depth he owed. 

The firefighters are still trying to take out the fire caused by a bonfire celebration. This man was caught in the middle of the fire and has been trying to get out.

A festival, packed with people is taking place on the north side of town. A monk had decided that it was a good idea to protest as he ran around the festival

PART 3

 This photograph shows framing because the plants around the girl are serving as a framing tool for the main object, which is the woman standing in the middle. There is nothing in the background that could distract the viewer from the main object. Every time the viewer would look at it, their eye would be attracted to the woman because of her surroundings. 

This photograph is viewpoint because it is not being shot from someone's eye level, it is being shot from a viewpoint going up. Which makes him look like he is much more superior.

 It is also mergers because it doesn't avoid them and if you look at his hands and the background towards the sun, it makes it look like he's emitting magic from his hands.

This photograph is mostly framing because the people on the sides are framing the dog who is running down the middle. Even though the viewer's eye might be attracted to the people on the sides, their eyes will always go back to the dog running down the middle.

It is also somewhat leading lines because the lines on the floor make the dog seem like the main subject.

 This photograph of the broken clock is mostly background because there is nothing in the background to distract the viewer's eyes from focusing on the main subject, the clock. Even through the background is lighter it still brings out the clock so that the viewer will pay more attention to the clock.

The Three Pillars of Exposure: Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed

Aperture:

F2.8

1.   We should closely relate aperture to our eyes.



2.   The smaller the Aperture the the larger the f-stop, the higher the Aperture the lower the f-stop.


F8

3.    The size of the Aperture impacts the depth of field, a larger f-stop number will make the background and the main object be in focus but a smaller f-stop number will only bring the object in focus.

Shutter Speed:

High Shutter Speed

1. 
At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light    
     a.) the dunking booth
     b.) the food eating contest
     c.) the rock climbing wall

Towards the end when there is no sun and it is dark so there is not enough light to see from one end of the courtyard to the other.
     d.) someone working at a booth
     e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
     f.) the Diamonds performance

Slow Shutter Speed

2. "Auto"
   "Shutter Priority"
   "Manual"

Self Portrait and Portraits Reviews

1. Try standing by a corner
2. Background is key
3. Candids: Being unobtrusive

Environmental portrait

I like how his room is decorated and how he is sitting there watching something completely ignoring the fact that there's a camera there taking a photograph of him. I choose it because it looks so natural, like something he would be doing on a regular basis.

I love how the scenery looks, the background makes her stand out and look like she's in a fairy tale, even though she's mounting a toy horse. I chose it because of how her unique style.

Casual Portrait

I like how they're all smiling and looking at the camera, and some are even somewhat posing. I chose it because it seems to be like a family portrait.

I like how she's hugging her friend/boyfriend and looking at the camera with a smile. I chose this photograph because it looks like a casual portrait of two people. 

Formal Portrait

I like how the baby looks, his eyes reflecting the light. I chose it because it looks like a very formal portrait of a baby, kinda like one of those professional photographs parents go take of their babies.

I like how he's dressed all cute and sitting in a chair and there's a teddy bear next to him. I chose it because it looks like a very formal portrait of a child, kinda like one of those professional photographs parents go take of their toddlers.

100 Cool Self Portraits

I like the scenery, how the snow is flying all around her and how she's staring at it and looking all natural. I chose it because of the how the background makes her glow.

I like how the background is all dark and how he's jumping  holding the flash of the camera. I chose it because of how entertaining it looks and how it looks like he's having fun.

I am not so sure how I want it to go at the moment. I don't really like planning ahead, I get inspired as I do things.
