Academic Shoot

Image
In this picture, I used the Rule of Thirds. I put the girl in the right third of the picture. The subject of this picture is the girl using the fire extinguisher which is aimed at her target. Yes, it is clear to the people viewing my photo what the subject of the picture is.  The rule of composition I used is Balance. There is a nice spread of people's different heights in the picture. In this picture, the subject is the teacher instructing her students what to do a the whiteboard. I think the subject is mostly clear to viewers, the only thing they might not see is what the teacher is instructing them to do. In order to make sure people know what the subject is, I could've stepped back to where what they were doing on the whiteboard could be seen.  The rule of composition is Balance as well. The students fill the picture and Chef is at the head of the table, looking the other way, balancing out the amount of people looking in one ...

Post Shoot Reflection

1. While we were out shooting for the four prompts, a challenge I encountered was that my partner that had gone before me had all the same ideas as me. Then when it was my turn to shoot, I had only a few ideas left. 2. The technical aspect that I thought about the most is focusing. Every picture I take, I'm hung up on whether or not it's blurry, or if it is blurry, is it in the background so it looks more professional? In order to have either no blurriness, or have it be blurred out in the background, I made sure to take my time while taking the photo. 3.

Although, as I said before, I shouldn't wait too long. 5. See photo prompt shoot for answers next to each picture. 6. I would like to focus on the same prompts but in a different location to get more ideas of how ...

HDR Photography

Image
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.
