Portrait

Formal, Informal and Enviromental

7. You will need to be able to explain the three types of portraits we talked about - formal, informal and environmental.
On your blog describe all three.

Formal - like an arranged pose, it's set up.
Informal- the exact opposite, no posing, or anything, it's a normal photo.
Environmental-  like a photo where a person works or lives, like on location.

Manipulating Photos

6. You will need to know and be able to explain the ethics of manipulating photos in photoshop and what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.
On your blog tell me what is acceptable and what isn't.


What's acceptable-
Maybe a little light changing, or making the photo brighter, or cropping, or adding text.
 or a border.


What's NOT acceptable-
Making the eyes bigger, changing something entirely for example like turning someones hair dark when there blonde, or making the nose bigger than what it is.

Folder to Server

You go to server__drives until the little box pops up, the you go to computer, and from there on the left side column it should say "j-students" and you go to photojournalism, then eight period, and find your name and you're there.

Aperture, Shutter, and ISO

3.You will need to know and understand Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO.

Aperture- is the opening that determines the angle of a bundle of rays/
ISO- the higher the aperture, the clearer.
Shutter Speed- exposure time

Rules of Photography (what they mean)

Rule of Thirds-  you like position the most important part of your picture in one of these 9 different squares.

Balancing Elements- to balance out you photo with something else, so it's just not one thing.

Leading Lines-  a line can kind of take you to the main focus of the picture

Symmetry & Patterns- since you're so focused on the symmetry, it could make tension?

Viewpoint- Like different points on where you can take it from, from high above,or floor level.

Background- a all solid background to me is the best choice, because it doesn't take the attention away from the main thing.

Depth- Like including things way way back, or close, it makes the picture look like it keeps going.

Framing- when yuo use two other objects that frame both sides of the photo.

Cropping- when you take out unnecessary things from a photo.

Merger-s like if you cut part of someones leg off, or face from the photo, it's not a complete photo.

Photo & Caption

In this photo, Many people came together to hear about the case with Dr. Conrad Murray's which were he was pleaded guilty of manslaughter to Pop star Michael Jackson.

Lytro Warm Up

1. What did you see happen when you clicked on the photo?
It would focus on whatever part I'd pick.

2. How does this new camera work?
It focuses where you want it to.

3. What do you think a photographer would have to know about to take this kind of photo (remember its a point-and-shoot, so its full manual mode, what do you need to know about)
F-Stop, Aperture, and ISO, and where and in what lighting to take it.

4. Is it worth the money?
I think so, that's really cool to do, because sometimes cameras won't focuse every well on the exact thing you want it to focus on.

Shortlist

Landscape-

I like this one, because I would say it shows depth, and it's really nice picture, it's detailed and all.


Travel-

This is so different, because we don't see this at our regular barber shop, it shows that the place is different like somewhere where fishing is done by many?

Wildlife-

You can obviously tell that this mother loves her child by the way she hold him, this picture shows that by just looking at it.

Fashion-

You can tell that the dress catches attention, well it caught mine, it's a nice photo.

Family and Friends-

This picture shows a family just having some fun, and those are the greatest pictures to see, of fun and happiness.

Creative License-

I didn't really understand what "creative license" means, but this is a really cool picture, I would like to make something like this.

Documentary-

I like this picture, it's a picture of kids at school, and it's just a nice picture.


Gardens and Plants-

I like how the took it from  the reflection of this pond, it's really cool, it came out clear, and the dirtyness of the water gave it some kind of cool effect.

Portraits-

This shows almost all the new rules we read about, and the background really works with this picture, you obviously know what to look at.

Action and Movement-

This shows action obviously, and I just like how it's blurred to show that they were moving at a fast speed.

Mergers and Avoiding Them

Portrait Assignment

who will you shoot, where will you shoot, and what will you do to make the shot successful?

          I'm going to shoot myself, because I would feel more comfortable with it, and I know how I'm going to want the shoot to go like, and it would be my Idea, so I'll have more of a clue on how to start.
Where? I'm thinking inside, it won't be outdoors, most likely in my room, I have a big window and I like how the light hits, so that's most likely where.. To make my shoot successful, I'm going to take the tips I read today, and really put it to work, to have fun with it, and see what expressions would work with, and really have fun with it, over-react and see where I go with that.

Casual Portrait

- T o me, I'm all about detail, the picture doesn't necessarily need to be of a pretty person, or something nice, but detail, I mean this picture, you can see freckles, mustache, the hair color, it's just goes way deep in on detail, and really shows it.

- I like how the leaves which were blurred, made it focus on them, and it's just a simple nice picture.

Photography Self Portrait

 - This picture, I like how they turned the background black and white, which makes me immediately look at the color, which is where you see her taking the picture, of what she sees.

- I really like self portrait pictures like this, of a person, of themselves, to me it's just nice, it's interesting, because a lot of people are camera-shy and I love when pictures like these come out, I like how it's faded and old looking at the bottom, to make it seem like an old photograph.

Enviromental Portrait

- What I really liked about this photo was, the setting, I mean it's beautiful, and the picture is clear, and you see detail, and you can tell the guy was what they were aiming for, he also stand out with the red jacket, but I really liked the setting mostly on this one.

 

- I really liked this photo, the sky in the back is just wow, it's so detailed!  It's an awesome picture, you can see everything so clearly, and you can see every little thing. I love this picture.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part 2 (TIPS)

1 - Think about your motivation and emotions: Blankly staring at the camera rarely gets good results. Be silly, don’t be afraid to over-act. The worst that can happen is that you fill up your memory card with useless photos; but you might also find yourself with a proper gold-nugget of a self portrait.

-This would be for me my first pick tip, because a great picture could come out of that, never to be shy in front of the camera.

2 - Have fun with it. Be sexy. Be yourself. Be awesome. Be different. Be creative. Whatever you do, have fun with it. That’s part of the point, after all.

3. Get Closer
-The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.
