Semester Final Part 2 and 3

                                        Part 2:


1.  Ron Rodriguez drives in his car in California on a early thursday morning  Ron Rodriguez was at the wrong place at the wrong time he had no idea what was going on. Now laying in his car on his seat with bullets through his window along with blood.

2. Dilon Jackson rides his horse while he went to war for his country in Iraq on a Tuesday night. Dilon and his soldiers were attacked by surprise and now Dilon Jackson and his horse won't go down with out a fight.

3. Frank Gomez runs down the street on fire in Florida on a Monday after noon. Frank played with fire with hair spray to make a flame thrower then it back fired and now he's on fire. 

                                        Part 3:

1. I think the rule for the one with all the guys racing with bikes is the simplicity rule because theres still background and its very easy to see what the subject of the photo is

2. I think the rule for the one with the girl in the rain is a rule of thirds because everything else is even except theres just the girl on one side of the picture which makes it uneven

3.i know the one rule with the runners is view point because the person that took the picture is not eye to eye level he's on a higher level taking the picture


4. I think the one with the guy in the camp uniform is rule of thirds because he's off to the right side of the photo by himself there isn't another person standing next to him

the Great Black And White Photographers Part 3

Mural Project Preview



1. What theme could you use here at school to make your own mural that tells a unique Akins story?
Go to B lunch and see how some peoples day is going so far anything could happen at anytime.

2. Why is this theme worth devoting time time and effort to capture? Why would other students care about this theme?
Because some people don't have B lunch and some people may want to see how B lunch is like.

3. What are the advantages and disadvantages to using a phone camera to do this project?
The disadvantage is that some times it doesn't look as good and it doesn't focus but the advantage it that its still a picture and you can still see it if you aim right.

4. What are the advantages and disadvantages to using an SLR camera to do this project?
The disadvantage is that it isn't small enough to put in your pocket and the advantage is the picture comes out much more clear and it also focuses much better.

5. Should we use phones or SLR cameras for this project? Why?
I think we should use SLR cameras because i don't mind just caring it around my neck plus i want my pictures to be nice and clear not crapy and blurry.

Africa

This one is my favorite because it kind of shows the soft side of such a dangerous animal. The lion is more of a symbol of power and here he seems to let down his strength to this lioness I think this shows a good example of contrast in a different way the color is the same but the sizes of the animals are very different the lion looks down upon the lioness and is clearly bigger than her

1. He uses a Pentax 67II with only two lenses.
2. Nick fell in love with the animals of East Africa and he knew the only way to express his love was through photography.
3. He wants to reveal the true personality of wild animals.

4. You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit you move in close.

Academics Shoot Reflection

1. Having a good background
2. Most likely focus I just made sure that it was clear before I captured
3. I would follow a little bit better the rules
4. Keeping my pictures clear
5. Lines would be the easiest 
6. Simplicity would be the hardest
7. The rule of third

Camera History

1. The effect came to be known as the "camera obscura" is Latin for "dark room". This was the first camera. The hole acted like a lens, focusing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark chamber. 

2. In the 17th century, the modern camera came one step closer when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.

3. A glass lens, a dark box, and film.

4. Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. The end result is still a photograph.

5. They use an electronic sensor called CCD. 

6. The fully automatic (A)uto or (P)rogram mode is the default for most modern cameras. The photographer can simply aim, press the button, and almost be guaranteed a great image.

7. Portrait mode will blur out the background, and the camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting.

8. Sports mode is to freeze motion. The camera will use the highest shutter speed possible. 

9. The half pressed button is helpful in many ways, including faster camera response time, more control over focus, encourages better composition.

10. The symbol means "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. This symbol means that the camera will fire if it thinks it needs more light.

12. If there is too much light, the picture will be wasted.

13. I there is not enough light then the picture will be too dark.

14. "Stop" means that there is a relative change in the brightness of the light.

15. It would be 4 stops brighter.

16. It would be 16 stops brighter.


17. For longer shutter speed you get more light.


18. For shorter shutter speed you get less light.


19. The aperture controls how much light goes in the camera.


20. To increase the amount of light the aperture has to be more open.

First-Photos Best And Worst

Best
i think this picture is my best one because he has all of his focus on the camera and there is nothing distracting him and he is also posing for the camera and the picture didnt come out blurry

Worst

i think this is my worst photo because he isn't paying attention and was looking away and and was being distracted and was looking at something else
