abandoned theme parks

1. i would go to Lincoln park, because it sounds very scary. In this park their were a lot of casualties, like the wooden roller coaster, although the coaster was the ultimate in cool, it also turned out to be deadly as well. Now the park is now in ruins, and no one goes their anymore, because it is closed.

 i would like to go to;
1. Disney land
2. Mckenny falls
3. China
4. The eiffel tower in paris
5. Las vegas

5. i would love to document this location because, i always wanted to go to paris and see the eiffel tower. What inspires me is the culture of paris, they live differently, and thats one of the many pictures i want to take if i ever go their. What i expect their is peoples languages, and how they dress, and the food the people eat their. But out of all the places, i would really like to visit and do a documentary of the eiffel tower.
6.i would definitely have to older in order to go to paris. What i would need as far as equipment is a cannon camera, a camera holder, and a laptop. i would have to raise money for the plain ticket, a hotel room, and expenses ect. But i would be lucky if i had all of this so i can go and take pictures their.

Great black and white photographers part 3

 1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? What caught my eyes is that the photos were interesting and not boring. 

2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time in the assignment Great Black and White Photographers Part 2. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog.

I see the subject very clear.

I smell the clear air that was back in the day in the generation of the photo.

I hear the old fashioned cars going to the near gas station.

I taste the coca cola soda from the store in the picture.

I feel the hot air standing outside.

3.) what would you like to create to show the world your great photographer. Ideas include, posters, power points, a blog, etc. You tell me what you would like to create so we can come up with a plan to share your thoughts and ideas about your photographer with your classmates and with the rest of the school.

What i would like is blog of all my photography photos, like the one i have in this class, but instead to show my work and include all my different project from outside of school, for example; like a filed trip, or a family vacation.

framing

1. How well did you follow the rule? I think i did pretty good with this rule.

3. Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is? i think its very clear to the people to know what this subject is.

Africa and Mural project preview

This is my favorite photo of Nick Brandt because, the way he took this picture is amazing. I specially love the way the wind blowing on his fur. In this picture the photographer is using simplicity as one of the rules, because he only focuses on the lion.

Nick Brandt-
What kind of camera did he use? He used a Pentax 6711
What is his reason for taking the photos? for a trilogy of books to memorialize the vanishing natural grandeur of east africa.
What is his hope by taking these types of photos? his hopes were to take photos to record visually poetic last testament to the wild animals.
what he said about the pictures were; " you wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close."

next;
1. What theme that we could take here at school could we do a series of these panels to place around the school?  i think we should make a funny theme, so it can make people laugh and make peoples day more better just by looking at the mural.
2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones? i think we should use our regular camera phones, because maybe other people don't have phones.
3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus? I would want the mural on the front of the school.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding, the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly. My technical aspects were holding the camera right or putting the focus right.
3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? i would take more basic pictures about the rules, so it can be easier.
4. What things would you do the same? i would still go to the soccer class, but i would take better pictures.
5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve? To me the easiest to shoot is simplicity, because i had no problem taking a picture of that rule.
6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture? i think the hardest is rules of thirds, because i really had a hard time finding that one.
7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is? To me whats not clear is the rule of balance. because its very confusing and i had the most trouble with that.

3. Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is? i think it is clear for the people to know what the subject is because it is very simple.
4. If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently? what i would of done better is position of the photo.

the rule of thirds

1. How well did you follow the rule? i think i could of done better with the rule.
2. What is the subject? the subject is the half part of the field is waiting for the ball.
3. Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is? to me honestly its kind of difficult for people to figure out what the subject is.

lines

1. how well did you follow the rule? I think i did pretty good following the rule, because if you zoom in close to the picture, you can see intersecting lines, but the color doesn't make it noticeable.
2. What is the subject? the subject is the mural that has 3-D lines on it, which makes the mural more creative.
3. Is it clear to people looking at your photos what the subject is? i hope people can know what the subject is, because you can see the lines clearly.
4. If you didn't follow the rule well, what could you have done differently? what i would of done, is to zoom in more on the mural to show the lines better.

favorite photo of community service section

My favorite photo from Academics and community service is, one thats called "scales of time" its about a cheerleader hugging a little girl.

1. Why did you pick this photo? I picked this photo because to me it was the most interesting, and i was a cheerleader in middle school, and i really like pictures about those kind of sports.

2. What rules of photography are evident in the photo? The rule that this photo used was simplicity, because it only focused on one thing.

1. Where do you think you could take photos like the ones you look at today? i think i can take the similar photos outside, or in a regular classroom.

2. Whose classroom would you like to visit and take photos in? i would like to take the photos in soccer class, or in dance class.

3. What will you do, as the photographer, to get amazing photos like you look at today? What i would do is take my time to take the photos, and to make sure to take amounts of photos so i can chose my best ones.

Filling the frame

To me this picture shows good frame because, it really focuses on just the girl reading books, instead of the rest of the picture.

Action and Emotion

This picture to me shows the best action and emotion because the girl is helping out in environmental service.

The story

This photo tells the best story because, a lot of people are taking the time to help out in community service.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, ect.) did you find yourself thinking about the most?

4. What things would you do the same? I would take the same pictures, because i really liked them.
5. What rules of composition did you end up actually achieving? did you have any? I did framing in one of my pictures which was the Red photo.
6. Are you interested in shooting these prompts again, why? I am interested because now that i know more of the rules, i can actually shoot photos better than the last time.
