DSLR VIRTUAL CAMERA SETTINGS: Aperture Settings Available: - The aperture can go from 2.8 to 22. Shutter Speed Settings Available: - The shutter speed can go from 1 second to 1/4000 of a second. ISO Settings Available: - The ISO can go from 100 to 25600.

ISO of 200^                                                                                            ISO of 6400^ 1. The advantages of shooting at a high ISO at a night time sports game is because higher ISOs reduce blurriness and brighten photos. If you are shooting at a dark event with no light, you need to bring light into your photo to make it clear and have meaning! 2.  The author suggested to use a low ISO because they are ideal to use at all times because it makes the photos less grainy. 3. The author suggested to use a high ISO as little as possible because it makes your photos more grainy. High ISOs can be used in dark environments because they brighten the photo much more than low ISOs.

One shutter speed setting is auto. The auto setting is an automatic selection made by the camera to choose the best shutter speed for your time and location. (lighting, activity you are shooting, etc.) Another shutter speed setting is "Shutter Priority". "Shutter Priority" is when the photographer specifically chooses the shutter speed but the camera chooses the aperture automatically. The last shutter speed setting is manual mode

We should relate aperture to the pupil of our eyes. When the lighting in a room changes, our pupils adjust just like aperture can adjust. You can also shrink the size of the aperture just like a pupil does, controlling how much light you let into the photo. (or your eyes) 2. The smaller the aperture (number), the larger the aperture. Smaller apertures allow more light and less background blur into the photo. The higher the aperture (number), the smaller the aperture. Higher apertures allow less light, specific focus and more background blur into the photo. 3. Aperture impacts Depth of Field because a high aperture gives the photo a very detailed and specific focus while a small aperture gives the photo way less background blur. This can change many things in a photo- the subject, focus, etc. Depth and Field

Photo 1                                                                             Photo 2 1. My photographer was good at capturing emotions, setting a tone for his photos and he captured his subjects in his photos well. I chose these photos because the photos had a clear subject with meaning. I also chose these photos because even though they are black and white I can see the colors and the contrast of them.  2.         Photo 1: In this photo, I see a tall and slender man who is focused on something above. I can see the bright, clean and shining suit the man is wearing. He looks very serious and sleek. There are people in the background who are selling newspapers. I predict he is looking up at something that has much meaning. In the photo, I can smell the smokey city streets and the fresh scent of the man's light colored suit. I can smell the man's focus because he is giving all of his attention to whatever he is seeing. I can smell the street hotdog cart givin

A. A main point for manipulating images is trying to make models more "attractive". Photographers also photoshop to add more diversity to pictures, improve the composition of the photo, to add photography rules to photos, etc.  B. Newspapers like The Washington Post and The New York Times have a rule where photographers cannot edit anything. They will have no tolerance if there are any significant edits found! The newspapers give their photographers strict guidelines for how to shoot and edit their photos. The photojournalists are required to turn in all of their proofs and portfolios as well.  C. I think changing the lighting, cropping and white balance are the only acceptable edits photographers should be allowed to make because those are things that people use to help make photography better. If the photo is really dark, photographers should be able to lighten it up so viewers can see the subject clearly if it doesn't change the meaning of the picture. I also th

https://laurasphoto1.blogspot.com/2018/09/academic-shoot.html I chose to look at Laura's photos! Positive Feedback: 1. I like how Laura captures her rule of thirds picture. The boy has a slight smile on his face and the background includes good contrasting colors. 2. I like how in Laura's photo with the rule of lines the ceiling's lines lead to the girl working on her assignment. The lines on the locker also lead to the subject's paper! Improvements: 1. I think in her avoiding merger picture she could avoid having a merger by capturing the photo at a different angle. Instead of straight on, the camera could be looking down or up at the boy working on a paper.

1. Finding the examples in the classroom was a challenge for me. I saw great photo opportunities, but actually incorporating the photo rules was challenging. For example, I saw a biology class doing a scientific lab and I had to try to include certain rules like balance, rule of thirds, simplicity, etc into the action shots. I had to think when taking my pictures and process what I was doing. 2. My camera did not cut focus, so I specifically had to manually focus every time. For example, when I was taking a photo of a girl standing in a doorway I had to focus the photo very well so the photo was clear. I also had to adjust my position to make sure the lighting wasn't too bright or too dim. 3. I would avoid mergers. In many of my photos, people's heads looked like trees or other people were popping out of them. 4. I would shoot in the same areas because I had many good action shots and opportunities! :) 5. I think rule of thirds will be the easiest rule to achieve becaus

I used rule of thirds in this photo. The subject is the girl studying a paper in the hallway. I think the subject is obvious, but looking at the picture now I realize the tree in the window behind her is a meter. Next time, I would take this photo from a different angle to avoid a merger from happening. A I used balance in this photo. The subjects in this photo are the hand drawn map papers and the co-subjects are the colored pencils. I think the subject is very obvious because you can clearly see the papers on the desk and they pop out in the picture. I used framing in the photo. The subject in this photo is the girl jotting down notes in the middle of the doorway. I think this photo is also balanced because there is a girl in the middle, part of a table on the left and a clothes rack that is partly visible on the right. I think it is clear the subject is the girl who is very focused on writing notes because her body is slightly outlined with light.

Walker Evans was born on November 3rd, 1903 in St. Louis, Missouri. He photographed the Great Depression in America with a 8x10 inch view camera. He graduated from Williams College and the Sorbonne in Paris. Also, Evans was a self taught photographer. While taking photos, he worked for the Farm Security Administration. After woking for the FSA, Evans was a photographer for Time and Fortune. During the time he worked at those destinations, he took many photos that would later help him complete his collections. Evan's most famous photo is "Subway Portrait", which was taken in 1940. Walker captured many meaningful photographs, but retired from professional photography in 1965. After his photography career, Evans was a graphic arts professor at Yale University. Although Walker passed away on April 10th, 1975, his photography and legacy will live for many more years. You can find many of Evan's photographs at the MoMA museum of art or the Met museum of art in New York Ci

                     I picked this photo because I love how the photographer included the beautiful sky into this pole vault action shot. I also really like the silhouette because it brings focus to the vault taking place but also focuses on the beautiful sky too. I think one photography rule that is very evident in this picture is simplicity. I think simplicity is in this photo because the photographer included a very simple background so the jumper could stand out. I also think this is simplistic because the silhouette takes away the details of the person.                    I picked this photo because I love how this photographer captured the inside of the wave. I also wonder how this picture was taken at such a good angle in the water because it looks hard to do. Not only is this picture good, but this photographer really captured a good angle. One photography rule I see is avoiding mergers. I believe this photographer didn't avoid the merger because the sky blends in wi

This photo is filling the frame because the parachute is on top of the picture, people's bodies are filling the sides of the picture, and the ground is framing the bottom of the picture. The subjects are filling the frame because many people are in this picture with excitement on their faces and more.  This frame is filled with people, but also emotions and happiness as they have fun together.

I believe this photo has much action. The girl is having so much fun on the parachute, and I love how she is in mid-air . The action in this picture is also prominent in many other places. For example, the people's hands are throwing the parachute to launch the girl into the air. There is much emotion in this picture because her face is ecstatic and her body language shows she is thrilled and she is having a great time.

I believe this photo tells the best story because in the photo are many different kids learning from a teacher. They are dissecting a pig in the photo! I think this visually tells a story because if you think about it, these kids have all very diverse backgrounds and they all are coming together to empower each other. The teacher has a story, and it makes many people curious about where he came from and why he wanted to teach science. Lastly, the pig even has a story. Where did this pig come from? Why was it dissected? Was it a runt? There are so many un answers questions in this picture that tells a deep story. I believe this teacher has a love of spreading knowledge to others and I think these kids are willing to take it in!

1. Some challenges I faced were finding photos that followed photography rules that also had the required theme. I also had trouble focusing on one major rule in my photos because many of my photos had several rules and I didn't always know which one to pick. 2. I frequently thought about making sure my photos had good lighting. For example, when taking the picture of the "B" on the gym floor (to represent Bowie) I had to try my best to make sure there was no glare in the photo because the gym lights are very bright. 3. I thought of a photo idea first and then applied it to a rule. For example, I first thought of taking a photo of Kaia's hands when they were together to create a square shape. But then I remembered I needed to apply a rule so I used the simple background of the sky to make the photo simplistic. PART TWO: https://campbellsphotoj.blogspot.com 1. I love her Bowie themed rule of thirds photo because she was able to capture the bulldog statue wit

This picture represents Bowie and is Rule of Thirds. I achieved rule of thirds because the B is not centered, but along the lines of the grid on the camera. This photo is rule of thirds and happiness. This photo is rule of thirds because the volleyball is off-centered. This photo is happy to me because it represents my favorite sport- VOLLEYBALL!                                                                                                This photo represents simplicity and it is a square. I achieved simplicity because the background is the plain sky. This photo represents lines and metal. I achieved this by taking a picture of the metal door in the locker room and you can see the lines that are created. I would like to shoot different prompts in the future to test my creativity- but this was a fun shoot! Here are three suggestions : 1. A part of Bowie that helps shape your personality. 2. Something that represents sadness to you. 3. A photo with a
