Unusual and interesting photos

PART1

My reaction to this guys work was just WOW! I have never seem anything like this expected in like movies, anyway I though his work was just jaw dropping.

He must of use Photoshop, He could of taking photo at different angles and then made some of them faded then put them on top of each other, but that's just my guess.


I think a really good building to do this with would be the frost bank tower or maybe the austonian because there both nice and tall and would be easier to do this technic. Both of this bulling are downtown of  Austin and I not sure if it has easy access to take photo from  have never tried to

PART 2

I choose this photo because to me its like your watching tv and you just paused the movie.
I found this photo in the sports action category.
This photo won 1st place
The horse( the one close to the camera)and the wood breaking is what the photographer did to attracted your eye.
I think that the photographer have to get in a more different angle to make this photo  more unique.

PART 3

Capture a moment when things seems good when people have are having a good time or when you want to capture the emotion in the atmosphere.

National Geographic photos and Ethics in Photography

National Geographic Warm-up

I like this photo because, I love how it shows the inside and the outside.The warm hot colors on the right and the cold blue color on the left.It has to be one of my favorite ones.








Photo Manipulation and Ethics
The main point of this this story was to show how manipulation is a big deal , because it makes thing seem more worst then they really are. Its also fake which isn't good, it also had something to do with April fools i guess its just ironic.BUT I think that's just the day, what really matters is that its bigger thing than people think because yeah it might be just "fixing" the photo but its a false photo. Meaning that its give the allusion of some bad or worst or its just trying to make it look like their the good guy.
I think that its a tool that can be used for good and or evil, your either using this to make someone or something to look bad and better.


These has to be to me the most unethical.
Because it making this solder look bad and making the U.S soldiers look like we are the bad guys

This one is not that bad because its trying to make her look better which is what i think is what its used for.

Touching People

I think this project is really cool but odd because i know that only a hand of people wll do it because its so strange.If someone ever approached me and asked me to participate in something likes I would of course say YES! not that I like toughing people but because I think its a great idea and project.A shoot the can be similar to this one can be like getting two people completely different from each other and ask them to hold hands.The photography was great it was in different places and odd once too and I really like all of them:)

 I love this photo, I chosen this photo because I thought it a great photo.
I like how he's trying not cry and try to be strong.The little kids face is where the eye gravitate

 goes, well at less my does. I think this photo made the cut because it perfect yes the situation isn't but it great because the emotion isn't fake .

 I chose this photo too because its so unexpected to find the baby.The baby faces is the were you look at first.This photo made the cut because its no something you find everyday which is good.

When I see this photo I think of my dog and I, and I can see my dog and I in this situation.
The cross and the dog is where you look a first, because you can put the story together yourself.

Camera History and Information

1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved?
   Camera obsucra is latin for "dark room" and was the first camera. There is a dark room and a tiny hole is made in one wall,through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projects

2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera?
    In the 17th century Iassc Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses which was one step closer to creating the modern camera

3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce?
      A glass lens, a dark room, and flim

4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera?
   Light passes through the lens, into the camera and exposes film, and makes a photograph.

5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image?
    Digital cameras is electronic sensor called CCD  to capture an image

6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode?
    Auto mode will control flash and exposure while Program mode is automatic-assist and you can still control flash and a few other camera settings.

7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work?
    Portrait mode is to blur out the background, it works by camera will try to uses the fastest available lens settings

8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work?
    Sport mode is use for sports, car races anything that you need a fast shutter, it uses the highest shutter speeds possible

9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?
 Because its focus lock and it tells you its ready to go


10. What does this symbol mean?

This means no flash its used when there is plenty of natural light.




11.What does this symbol mean?

When the camera thinks it needs more light.





12. What happens to your photo if there is too much light?
    If there is too much light the photo will wash out .

13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light?
 Not enought light and the photo will be to dark.

14. What is a “stop.”
      A stop is a relative measurement of light.

15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two sons instead of one?
     1 stop

16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four sons instead of two? (Hint: the “show answer” feature is wrong).

3 stop


17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have?
The longer the shutter speed the more light

18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?
Less light.

19. What does the aperture control?
The opening also know as  the F-stop.

20. When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light?
      By having smaller F-stop numbers which gives it  larger openings which equals to more light.

The Camera

1)Single-lens -reflex camera the photographer sees the scene through the camera lens.

2)Leaf shutter-precisely the in-lens shutter is a shutter contained within the lens structure.

3) Focal-plane shutter- operates as close to the film plane as possible and consists of cloth curtains that are pulled across the film plane with a carefully determined gap between the two curtains.

4) Scale-focus- camera can that have a limited focusing range.



Shutter- allows light to pass for some amount of time.

Exposure- amount of  allowed to fall on each area unit of a photographic medium.

Depth of field- range of distance that appears acceptably sharp.

Aperture - openings that are measured as fractions of the focal length of a lens. That is what the 'f' stands for in the aperture rating, 'focal length'

F Stop - a ratio used in a camera lens. It is concerned with the amount of light the lens lets in, how fast the camera can take a picture, and how much of the picture will be in focus.

Focal length- your lens essentially determines how ‘zoomed in’ your photos are; the higher the number, the more zoomed your lens will be.

First photos - best and worst

This picture has to be my favorite out of all of the pictures I took, then again I didn't take many pictures. It's OK thought because this one came out great. I thought it came out great because of how I was able to get the clock in the shoot, because to me the clock shows how my group had to stand there awkwardly for three minutes . Another thing I like about this picture is his face expression, just shows how uncomfortable he feels by just standing there not knowing what to do.

This picture it the worst to me, because of the angle and how the picture is focusing on the computers and the top of the girls head insisted of him. I also don't like how you cant even see him and how its just plan, doesn't really have anything to it.  It could have been good if lets the computer capture the girls face so you can see her face expression, but then again it'd probably wont be so good because I wanted to capture him in the was of other people eyes.
