What locations and subject matter did you choose to shoot for your photos? -I took my pictures in Bristol, RI with Gill Emond. I also took some pictures at our new school! My subject matter was buildings, fences, wood, boards, doors, and grates. Describe the photos you took: (Picture #5 In My Gallery) What is the distance in the shot? (How close or far away are you from your subject?) -The distance was close up so that i could see the holes and shapes in the grate What was your point of view when you took the photos? (from above, below, straight on...) -I took my photo from above Are your photographs horizontal or vertical? -The picture is horizontal. All of my pictures are horizontal. Did you consider the rule of thirds to compose your shots? In which photos? Describe. I did consider the rule of thirds with my 2nd, 3rd,4th,9th, and 10th photo. I tried to put the subject of the photo shifted to the left or right so it wasn't right in the middle Which one of of your photos is a dynamic composition that successfully leads the viewer’s eye through the work? - Picture #2 leads the viewer successfully through the work.
Pattern, Texture, Rhythm
My favorite picture is #5 What locations and subject matter did you choose to shoot for your photos? -Boards, water,pipes,trees,roofs, bike racks. Describe the photos you took: What is the distance in the shot? -The distance was close up and personal. What was your point of view when you took the photos? (from above, below, straight on...) -My point of view was from above. Are your photographs horizontal or vertical? -My photo is horizontal because of the way i held my camera. Did you consider the rule of thirds to compose your shots? In which photos? Describe. It follows the rule of 3rds because the nails in the board are not directly in the middle of the picture. Is this photoo an example of pattern, texture and/or rhythm? Explain. -It is an example of texture because you can see the splinters in the board and the detail in the nails. You can see sand stuck inbetween the boards creating another texture. Which image may be overexposed? Which image is underexposed? Which areas? -The wave picture may be too bright in the top and too dark in the bottom. Which image is the best example of a properly exposed photo? Explain why. -I beleive picture #5 is the best exposed because no part is too dark or too light and everything is visible and detailed, not blocked out by the sun.
Painting With Light
Describe one of your photos drawing with light. - My second drawing with light photo is Gill writing her name with light. What shutter speed did we have the camera on? -The camera was on 20 seconds shutter speed. What light source did you use to create the "painting"? - We used a normal flashlight as our light source. How did you achieve the image/effect? -We turned on the flashlight and walked and drew letters and then shut the light off and walked a little more and drew another letter. What impact does the photo have? How would the viewer feel looking at your photo? The impact is the bold lettering in the front and the dark background in the back. It flows as you read and the white and black create a smooth and flowing effect. The viewer would feel relaxed looking at the photo.
Motion In Class (Slow to Fast Shutter Speed)
Approximately what shutter speed did you use to freeze action? - (1) 1/15th (2) 1/200th If you were on a point and shoot camera, what setting did you use? - I did not use a point and shoot camera. What action did you freeze? - We froze jelly beans falling into Gill's hand. What was your distance, and point of view for the photo? - Some distance was close up and clear as day! Describe any compositional elements that are present in or that strenghten the photo. - We have line and shape in the back from the school. We used different strong colors jelly beans. PICTURE #3 Approximately what shutter speed did you use to purposely blur action? -1/2 of a second What ISO and WB settings did you use? ISO 200 and WB sunny/shade If you were on a point and shoot camera, what setting(s) did you use? No point and shoot camera What motion, or part of the image shows blur? (Describe). The yellow spinny thing on the toy What was your distance, and point of view for the photo? Close up Describe any compositional elements (tools) that are present in or that strenghthen the photo.(rule of thirds, positive and negative space, line, shape, pattern, texture, strong colors, contrast...) Strong pink and yellow colors, circular shape and bunny shape.
Depth of Field
Studio
In School
At Home
Select one of your images that show a shallow depth of field. #5 What f-stop did you have your camera set to create a shallow depth of field? FSTOP: 4.5 What ISO and WB settings did you use? ISO: 800 WB: warm white If you were on a point and shoot camera, what setting(s) did you use? I did not use a point and shoot camera Discuss one of your images that show a large depth of field. #7 What f-stop did you have your camera set to create a large depth of field? FSTOP: 22 What ISO and WB settings did you use? ISO: 800 WB: warm white If you were on a point and shoot camera, what setting(s) did you use? I did not use a point and shoot camera Which photo is better? Why?Why would you want to use a shallow depth of field?When/in what situation would a large depth of field be better? I think #5 is better because it focuses on one thing with the shallow depth of field. It creates more to the picture when one object is picked out. Especially since the object in focus is half out of the picture so you have to sort of search for it which creates confusion then you find it and your life, cool! A larger depth of field would be better when you have a huge canvas of perhaps mountains and rivers or a forest and you want everything in focus because its all beautiful!
