Q2W2 Architecture

I like how the photo was shot from down below. It shows the perspective from an onlooker. The light gives it a bit more substance and contrast against the sky fading and the building.

I love how all the lights are on and how the lights are on. It tells a story like I could almost walk straight into this picture, I could walk into a different time.

Photographer: James Muspratt
Like the photo above, I love the warm lighting on the inside. It reminds me of of a cold winter's night and makes me wonder what's happening inside.

The picture is arranged so nicely using the rule of thirds. I also appreciate the black and white effect.

The straight lines add such a nice touch against the sky. It's very symmetrical and I love the chimney on the lefthand side.

This building looks like there are so many stories that took place in it. I am also a very big fan of the two flags and lamp posts on either side. It is also very symmetrical. It look like it is caught in the moment absolutely perfectly. My favorite part of this photo is the composition.

The way te light shines in really makes this picture stand out.

The royal blue against the strong angles of the building is beautiful. It looks like there was a very long shutter speed giving it silky, sharp look. However, what really makes this photo unique to me is the angles and perspective from which it was shot. It shows the strong angles and elements of the building.

It looks like this was shot in the blink of an eye from an ordinary onlooker. I don't really like the lighting because it looks very fake almost like a painting; however, I do like how it captured the buildings, streets, and people.

This is one of my favorites. Each curtain is positioned differently. It is so clean, cut, and the overall composition and layout is one of my favorites.

Q2W1 - Landscape Photographers (Continued)

Q2W1 - Landscape Photographers

I would describe Ian Cameron's photography as simple, and natural. He likes to highlight lots of greens, yellows, and blues. To me, his work doesn't seem very edited. The colors are naturally very vibrant and he provides and eclectic blend of locations and styles.

W10-Landscape Locations

For my lanscape shots, I am considering shooting at Cape Lookout in Tillamook, at the oak and willow tree on Highway 6, and am still contemplating other locations.
I will experiment shooting each kind of image at each location, but my tentative plan, and shots that I am most excited to shoot is a panorama of the trees, wide angle of the ocean, and extreme close-up of rain on a flower.

I would edit this so the bottom was slightly brighter. It is a little bit too dark, but I like how the light comes down from the top right corner.

F-Stop:18
Shutter Speed: 1/40

I would take this from a lower angle.

I would get more of the trees in the picture so you could really see the series vividly.

Week 7 "Five Fall Images"

ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 1/1250
The strongest point in this photograph is the clouds. They outline the tree and give this picture more depth. If I were to shoot this again, I would take it farther away, frame it in the right side, and have a higher ISO and aperture.

ISO: 800
Shutter Speed: 1/4000
The strongest point in this photograph is the tree. It is very vibrant and is definitely the focal point. I wouldn't do much to change this picture, but I would try shooting it at a few other ISO's and shutter speeds to get some other ideas.

ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 1/40
The strongest point in this photograph is the framing. The leaves create nice lines going in different directions, and the leaf on the bottom adds a splash of colour.
ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 1/40
The strongest point in this picture is

Must Be Converging Lines

I first duplicated a layer, and then added guides. I then began to change the levels and curves to make the image look more dark, mysterious, and have a heavy contrast.

Week 4-Thursday

The standard resolution for print should be at least 300. If you are outputting, if your final destination is the web or a computer screen, the maximum resolution is 72.
You can always downscale and image and it wont loose any quality. You can not take an image and upscale it and have it be the same quality. It will begin to pixelate.
Naming photos should include: location, people/objects, type of shot, maybe even specific emotions. Be detailed.

Week 3 Summary

Week 3 Notes- 9.8.11

AV=Aperture priority, you set the aperture, camera sets the shutter.
Shutter priority: You set the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture
Shutter speed: How much light gets in the camera. Slower shutter speed=more light. Faster shutter speed=less light.
Manual: You choose ALL settings
AF: auto focus
MF: manual focus
*What is the difference between auto-focus and auto-mode?
If you are shooting things in action, your shutter speed needs to be a t least 1/125th per second

Week 3-Wednesday

Rule of thirds- The eye does not go to the center of a picture. The rule of thirds divides a picture into 9 parts of a grid. Foreground, Middleground, Background.
Tonal value: the amount of darkness in an image, less to do with saturation, more to do with the amount of blacks and whites that you see
Lines:
Three basic shapes: Square, Circle, Triangle
Jusxtaposition: Taking two elements that are different that we can compare and contrast
There are two types of shapes; Geometric and organic.
Geometric: Definite edges, straight lines.
Organic: Think nature.
DSLR= Digital single lens reflex
Aperture: controls the amount of light that is permitted to go through the camera's sensor
ISO and shutter speed, F-Stop. lower aperture value, the bigger the opening, the hight the aperture value, the smaller the opening.
PHOTOGRAPHERS WRITE WITH LIGHT.
Aperture along with shutter speed allows how much light gets into the image, aperture also controls the depth of field.
Shutter speed controls the amount of time/length of time gets through.

My favorite types of photos to take are tree's, and portraits. I love the silhouette of trees. and I love capturing people in how they react to things they love. I love dramatic photographs. Drastic coloring, photographs that tell a story, and leave you wondering on the setting what they were thinking, when was it taken, etc. Mysterious, yet captivating.

Week 2-What I Learned

This week, we conversed about composition, different types of angles, and how to better articulate.
We talked about how different angles convey different messages, about how what you leave out of a picture is just as important as what you leave in it. The frames were a very exciting visual and was cool not just through a camera but the actual frame.
