Funny Captions

This is baby John he was really bored and is being bothered because his teeth are growing and got the first thing to bite on. This is when John was a little baby he was in his backyard with he's brand new baby kitty. 

This is a very nice sign from the forest because they don't appreciate the chipmunks smoking affecting the trees. If this issue keeps going on the trees will no longer help you breath but affect your lungs because of the smoking.

This lady Bertha was such in a rush but gas and to get out of the gas station such in a rush that she even took the handle of the gas pump. The police man wasn't very pleased with this even though the securities from behind found it very funny taking pictures. 

Great Black & White Photographers Part 3

1.  Bill Brandt-  The first thing that caught my eye was how he decides to take pictures of neighborhoods and ordinary people in ordinary places and he's pictures are quit interesting like if their was a story behind it and that's why I picked this pictures. 

2.  Window in Osborn Street-    

• I see a poor neighborhood and kids on the street hiding from something. I see the fear of young kids eyes and on how they walk. 
• I smell the chimney's dust it throughs out and the fresh food out of the stores around the neighborhood. 
• I hear the strong wind blowing pass my ears and the laugh of young children while they pass by me, guns shots that were shot far away.
• I taste the dry dirt as it flies across me and taste the warm hot chocolate they give me as I walk around the neighborhood.
• I feel very insecure and scared with what I'm surrounded with but yet feel so happy because of how happy the kids are even though their in danger.

Dylan Thomas- 

• I see lots of people at a bar but one that looks very well and cleaned up with two beers on he's side and is very distracted.
  I smell alcohol all over the place but yet some very fresh colon from the young men walking into the bar.
  I hear lots of mens laugh and some glass clacking and breaking all around me but yet lots of laughs.
  I taste the nasty taste in the air that all around me its so disgusting but yet I keep tasting it.
  I feel unsafe with this alcoholics all around me I feel like there going to harm me or fight me.
  
  3. I would like to create posters and show he's great work and how unique his pictures are but yet their very well taken. If people really like he's  work we can probably make a blog about him.

Academic Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? 
A lot of students would get distracted and stop doing their work and you couldn't take the picture of what you wanted because it showed the rule.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.

I found myself thinking about holding the camera right and following the rules of photography, I hold the camera correctly and took cameras at a good angle and followed the rules.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

I would look for rules more closely and they would probably pop out more since I know how they look like and it will be easier.

4. What things would you do the same?

I would have done token the same pictures just with more details with the rules.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?

The rule that would be easiest to complete would probably be framing because its a simply rule to take a picture like if it was going on a picture frame.

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?

The hardest rule would be the rule of thirds because it is hard to capture the subject and two things behind in the background.

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
The rule I'm not totally clear on is balance and what I can do to figure out what the rule is to go back and look at the balance rule.

2. The subject is the girls shirt with lines.
3. The rule is pretty clear because the strips on the girl's shirt are very noticeable and the desk she is leaning on has some lines too.

Africa & Mural Project Review

I like how in these picture their not laying down and how the treat of the forest isn't always defending it but also playing around with other animals. The rule this picture is showing is framing because it looks like a frame and the subject is in the center like how it's suppose to be. 

•  Medium Format Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses 
•  To make a last testament to wild animal before there gone.
• To make sure that these majestic animals don't disappear and bring some awareness to them.
• " The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes." 

1. The theme should be all the success the school and done and special or interesting events.

2. I think we should use our phones and our cameras to see if people would actually notice the difference. 

3. To put them all over campus so everyone can see them. 

Academic Shoot Preview

Best Story 

This picture tells the best picture because it shows how young people want to help the needed. I think in this picture the story is that the young people made a project to help the needed not necessarily the homeless but everyone who needs help. This is the best story because it is a good cause and has a happy ending. 

Action & Emotion

The action of this picture is how the girl is putting the ice in the water and the water jumps up and some ice falls to the ground. The emotion of this picture is the face expression of both of the girls how their happy, shocked, or surprised on what they just did.

Most Interestion Stuff 

This picture is the most interesting because it looks really cool how the whole class is participating in touching what's in the center. The center of the desk looks like water boiling or with steam. This is really interesting because you can't really tell what is going on in the picture but looks pretty cool. 

1. I like the picture named "Walking on the Edge of the World" because  of how this picture is taken it looks like the kid is walking really high up near the sky. I picked this picture because the subject really caught my attention especially what he's doing. 

2. This picture shows the rule Simplicity because its catching the subject only and doesn't have a distracting background and the viewer is only interested on the subject.

1. I can take pictures like the ones I saw today in a science class when they do labs or experiments. 

2. I would like to take pictures in any science class when there doing a lab to get  a good picture of their experiment. 

3. I would follow some rules I learned about and have good focus and take pictures fast to try to capture every moment. 

Photo Shoot Reflection

1. The challenges I faced with red, metal, and happy were to find metal things to take a picture of and to find people of things that were happy or reminded me of happy.
2. I found myself thinking about focusing and framing each picture I took also on how I held the camera. I remembered how the teacher held the camera and how he showed us how to focus it and did it.
3. I would pay more attention on how I take pictures and try to take them better than I did and use some of the basic rules. 
4. I did held the camera the proper way and zoomed in correctly. 
6. No, because I actually used some of the basic rules I just learned without even knowing it.

Extra Credit

My reaction to this picture is shocking, how can a person be so calm when their falling off a building about to die. This man looks completely calm waiting to fall to the ground, and how his posture is with he's leg crossed and is really still and shoes are still on their usually suppose to be off because of the velocity. It looks like this man jumped off the building on purpose not because of the incident.

Composition 9/11 The First 6 Rules Of Photography

Simplicity 

This is the first and probably the most important guideline which is simplicity. The center of interest is the most visual attention. A way to do this is to pick backgrounds that don't distract the viewer from your subject. 

The Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is very easy you have to take a picture of your subject and get two other things in the background to come out with the picture. Like in this picture the main idea is in the center it takes time to catch the viewers eye in the picture.  

Lines

In this rule it is important to get lines in this subject because their important to this rule. In this picture you can see the subject in line formation exactly what the rule explains. 

Balance

In this rule is to balance to subject's in a picture. Like in this picture it is the twin towers on fire falling down and the lady on the side you can see both subjects perfectly and what is happening.

Framing

Framing is very important rule is to frame the center of the subject. For example in this picture the subject is centered in this picture to make it seem like if its really a frame. 

Avoiding Mergers 

Avoid Mergers is very important rule because it is when you only focus on the subject and be sure not to have anything in the way. Like in this picture the people at the bottom are a distraction to the incident that is happening above them.
