Merger Photo Preview

1. Is there something you see in the photo above that you think could be a problem when you take your photos? Look carefully. One thing that could be a problem while shooting are shadows, depending on where people or things are not in the photo, they could cast  unnecessary  shadows. 2. Where do you think would be a great place to take this type of picture here on the Bowie campus? I think any place on campus that there is a staircase would be a good place to shoot. 3. Can you think of something creative to actually DO in the photo when you take yours? I could change my position on each step for each picture. 4. Is there something you could wear that would help you when you do this photo? I could wear something that is kind of a bold color that way I stand out in every position I am in.

Landscape Photography

1. I would go to google, google maps, weather, and tourist images 2. An app that would help me pick the best angle for a landscape photo is Photographer's Ephemeris . 3. If you shoot with telephoto lens or zoom it makes the foreground and background appear to be very close together. 4. Instead of using HDR you can use the improved raw-processing software such as Lightroom 6 to get the lighting back. 5. You should always bring a large waterproof plastic bag to put over the camera if it starts raining, a cleaning cloth for the camera lens, and a microfiber cloth to clean off the body of the camera. 6. Pre-scouting is helpful while shooting because it can give you more solid ideas of where to go to get the best angles and lighting.  7. The subject is more important than the composition because it creates a better, more natural photo if the subject is the influence on the composition.  8. The best way to create a simple but striking image is to take an

HDR Photography

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image? I will need to use varying combinations of shutter speed/ aperture  settings.  2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image? I will need a camera, tripod, and a software that blends the photos together to make one HDR photo. 3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image? One reason a person might take an HDR photo is to show the beauty of a place, or maybe to show the characteristics of a city, etc.  4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see  that we might not have seen with just one photo? When you merge the photos together, you will see both the lightest and darkest points of the light spectrum in the picture, rather than just the lightest or the darkest.
