Balance

The smoldering remains of the World Trade Center lie at the center of what would soon be dubbed and this picture has good balance and it also has great lighting 



texture

this picture is a great example of texture and it shows the terror of the exploding of the tower and you can feel the clouds of smoke 



shape

this is a good picture you can see the shape and angle of the building and you can tell the amount of far this guy has on his face



lines


this is an another example of line photography you can see the lines of the building and the guy flying off the building 






Merge

this is an example of merge theres a lot of things in the background destrating the picture you see the bridge and the other towers








Simplicity

these two are a good example of simplicity because there nothing really in the background to distract it

A.The first day in April is called April Fool’s Day in the United States. In Israel this year, it was simply portrait day for the new cabinet and photographer Menahem Kahana. However, when Kahana’s image appeared in Yated Neeman, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspaper, someone had fooled with the image.
Someone at the newspaper used Adobe Photoshop or a similar software program to remove female ministers Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver and replaced them with two men to create an all-male cabinet.
While cloning over people in a portrait is a terminal offense at most U.S. daily newspapers, image manipulation has recent precedents in the Middle East.
B. it is unethical because its your job to take pictures that are real and that are true and anybody can do photoshop so why be a photographer if your going to do nothing ethical midis well not have a job








A.                                             


I think this is the most unethical because george bush was not debating and he still appears in the shot the picture is telling the wrong story



B. 


this one isn't really a big deal its just her smile it still tells the same story but its a small difference just the smile not a big deal

the things i like about Annett's pictures that they're are creative the happy photo is the just dance thing in the hall way.  The other thing i like her pictures are the metal one is out side and the background is perfectly in focus

the one thing she can improve on is the balance of the picture like the shoe one if she was a little bit closer it would have been a better picture

national geographic contest

                                                                               


2. I picked this one because its so blue and its pretty and in the background there is a mountains and the background its all different colors and its a well taken photo another interesting thing is it was takenThis wintertime in an arid area of the Canadian Rockies. Temperatures were below 30 degrees Celsius,


3. i would take a picture of my dogs because i see them everyday i love them a lot and they're beautiful dogs and hey make a good picture and i would put it on a photo contest of animals

40 greatest photos



I picked this photo because its a part of history as african americans are participating in the olympics.  It made my eyes gravitate because I like the olympics.  my opion on this picture like  i said its a big part of history




                                                                             

I picked this one, because I thought it was funny a police capitan is getting arrested for a protest in the street thats why it made my eyes gravitate. it made the top 40 because its ironic and doesn't happen often





                                                                     

I picked this one because its a tragedy for this to happen to someone.  it made my eyes gravitate because I like he background and the middle is the mom and son hugging and in the background the damage is everywhere

camera parts


aperture an opening, hole, or gap.

"the bell ropes passed through apertures in the ceiling"


shutter a device that opens and closes to expose the film in a camera.

exposure is the amount of light allowed to fall on each area unit of a photographic medium 


depth of field he distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera. 

F-stop a camera setting corresponding to a particular f-number.

setting button give access to settings for the camera 

erase button give the option to delete a picture 

shooting button the button that takes the picture 

Magnify button option to zoom in or out for focus 

playback button plays back the video and view mistakes 

camera history

1.Inside a completely dark room, a tiny hole is created in one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall. 
2. in the 17th century the modern camera came one step slower when Isaac Newton and Christain Huygens perfected the understanding of optics the process of making high quality  glass lenses 
3. In 1827 Joseph niepeice added the final touch he added film to create the first successful photograph and the modern camera was born 
4.new cameras are very easy to use just point and shoot the camera built in computer handles focus and exposure 
5.Replacing old-fashioned plastic film, digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. Photographs are stored on reusable computer memory devices.
6Camera modes
Old fashioned cameras have one mode.. manual. Camera settings would have to be figured out by the photographer, along with focus.




Modern cameras can do all this automatically, but sometimes they need help. By choosing a shooting mode you give the camera hints about what you want, and it will try to deliver.
Know your modes!
Like riding a bicycle, operating your camera should become second nature.

7.To attempt to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting (aperture).
8.To freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.
9.Point the camera at the subject and half-press. Wait for focus lock
10Disabled Flash 
no flash. There are many cases where you may not want flash at all. The mood of the photograph can sometimes be more dramatic when the natural light is used.
11.Auto-Flash
In most camera modes, Auto-flash is enabled by default and will automatically fire if the camera thinks it needs more light.
12.Too much light and the picture will be washed out.
13.Not enough light and the picture will be too dark.
14.The term "stop" is used in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change in the brightness of light.
15.twice as bright 
16.four times as bright 
17the longer it is the more light 
18.the shorter it is the less light 
19. the apurture controls how much goes in 
20.hold the shutter longer

first photos best and worst



 I say this is my best photo because its real focused on his face on its more of his face then the background its in high quality and the out line is around his hair
this is my worst because its more focused on the background and its not really on him and focused on the back ground

welcome to my blog
