Advanced photo composition

 
     
   
 


The first pic is the ruld of thirds. the second is balancing the elements, the third pic is the merger and avoiding them. the fourth pic is cropping, the fifth pic is the framing, the sixth pic is the depth. the seventh pic is the background, the eigth pic is the viewpoint the ninth pic is the Symmetry and Patterns, and the final tenth pic is the line leading pic. sorry i dont really know how to put the words under the picture.

 

Composition 9/11 - the basics



the first pic is framing because it has it focused on one area.
the second pic is balance - the father is hugging his son to create it.
the third pic is simplicity



In these photos of the World Trade Center the fire from the blast
the fourth pic is the rule of thirds becausethe twin towers are in the upper right and create a split.
the fifth pic the last rile because it fits in well.
and the sixth pic is the rule of lines because of the lines on the wall.
blends well with the smoke. In order to make a simple picture

Hurricane Ike

 the rule of thirds is applied in the first picture because the man in going on a steady path in the rain of ther hurricane. this photo blew my mind because it was one of those photos that is able to show how people can still walk after a disaster. the lighting is right on strike with it and it is a mysterious photo as well. it does not tell us where the man is goin and to where he might end up. this is just the right photo to prove that some peolpe try to make it through the storm in just a jacket.




in this photo with the lion in it would probably be the rule of lines because of the way the seats are lined up and u can't help but notice the lion. this photo is caught my attention because iit has a tiger in it and it looks kind of awkward with just some lion in the photo. it is a tragedy when animals get their lives flipped around aswell when a natural disaster happens. this photographer had alot of guts to go take that pic.

Pinhole camera

i really liked this picture because it showed like an old school time era. it is one of those pictures that is able to get me feeling like its old times. i never thought a picture could do so much. i like the way the photographer got the right shade of light in this picture.



i really disliked this picture because i had really no idea why the photographer would put so much  weak color in the frame. it looks as if he was not real about the whole situation. he messed around with the color texture and it was just one of those pics o couldn't stand.i fell like if he would have used the actual picture it would have looked better.

The Camera

1. File Formats - How data in a file is stored, such as jpeg, bitmap, MP3
2..DSLR - A digital single-lens reflex camera (digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera that uses a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera.
3.Autofoucus - The camera automatically focuses on the object to capture at which it is pointed; this object then becomes the sharpest part of the overall image.
4. Metering - The process of measuring the usage of volume of a system, such as software functions that monitor and sometimes control the number of concurrent users as specified in the licensing agreement.
5. aperture - a device that controls amount of light admitted
6. shutter - a mechanical device on a camera that opens and closes to control the time of a photographic exposure
7. exposure - the intensity of light falling on a photographic film or plate; "he used the wrong exposure"
8. depth of field - The amount of space within lens view which will maintain acceptable focus at given settings (ie camera speed, film speed, lens aperture). (Cinematography)
9. F-stop - The measurement of light able to pass through the photographic lens.
10. focal length - focal distance: the distance from a lens to its focus

first post


Pic 2 i did not like this pic because it is one of those pics i don't like at all. I think it is better if they had a better angle. the angle is very important. it is just not a pic i am a fan of.
Pic 1 i liked the first pic because it was a very good. this was just one of those pics that made my eyes shine. i feel that this pic was really good. i truly liked it.
