This is a picture of two water fountains. This shows the principle of balance. Balance is successfully shown because the two water fountains are symmetric because they are two identical objects next to each other. The picture is clad and the symmetric fountains is the main focus. This is a picture of the top of palm trees and the sky. This shows the principle of harmony. This successfully shows harmony because the tree tops are repeated and go together with the sky to form a whole. They interact to create a pleasing picture. This is a picture of the side of a shed. This shows the principle of emphasis. This successfully shows emphasis because the RBV logo is the aspect of the picture that is emphasized. It is the first part of the picture that is noticed. This is a picture of a trash can on a parking stump. This shows variety because it has contrasting elements. You don't normally see a trash can where it is in this picture, which creates variety through contrasting elements. This is a picture of my partner next to a tree. This is the element of proportion. Proportion is successfully shown because the size of my partner and the tree is greatly contrasted. Through this picture it is immediately apparent how tall my partner is compared to the tree. The picture has good lighting and is clear. This is a picture of in-between two wings of the 800's. This picture shows unity. Unity is successfully shown because there are diversifying elements of the picture like the junk between the classrooms. However this junk, the fence, and the sky and trees behind create a sense of oneness. Although all the elements in the picture are diverse, they go together to create a picture that fits. This is a picture of birds in a tree. This picture shows rhythm. This picture successfully shows rhythm because there is a repetition of the birds in the picture. The picture is clear and the repeating element of birds is the main focus.

This is a photo looking up at a tree with light shining through. This shows the element of value. Value is successfully shown because the lightness of the sun shining through creates value. The light contrasts with the darker and shaded areas of the tree. This is a picture of the bark of a tree. It shows the element of texture. Texture is successfully shown because the bark is shown in detail and it is easy to imagine what the bark would feel like if you touched it. The picture is clear and it shows that the main focus is the bark. This is a picture of three cones positioned to make the shape of a triangle in the center.

This picture successfully shows form because the rock is three dimensional and has height, width and depth. The rock is the main focus of the picture and it is clear.
1. I took these photos under a shutter speed of 1/750, and ISO of 1600 and an aperture of 5.6.
2. I struggled at first because at a shutter speed of 1/1000 the picture was too dark. To fix this I changed the shutter speed to 1/750. 3. I learned that if a picture is too dark at a high shutter speed, I need to lower the shutter speed a little. I also learned that shutter speed can catch a lot of detail, for example it caught a lot of the detail of the water balloons when they broke. Lastly, I learned that although I had to lower the shutter speed to make sure the picture was bright enough, this did make my picture slightly less clear than others because the shutter speed wasn't as high and couldn't catch as much detail. 4. I think it would be interesting to use shutter speed to take pictures of sports. For example soccer because it would be funny to see the faces players make while kicking the ball. My picture illustrates respecting yourself because it communicates how being drug free helps you to reach your full potential and happiness. The one girl who is wearing the red is jumping and happy which symbolizes this idea. The other two people on the side symbolize how drugs lead to a more depressed and limiting life. The importance of having the girl jumping is that it depicts how being drug free is a way of helping yourself reach your goals. Without drugs the sky is the limit. It is important that we all respect ourselves by allowing our capabilities to flourish. However, by using and abusing drugs you automatically take away some of your potential.
Drugs not only have harmful health effects, but they can also take over your life. Many people begin to consume their time and thoughts on drugs, when they could be spending this valuable time perpetuating their talents and making positive impacts. A respect for their bodies and capabilities is lost through drug use. I wanted to illustrate this by showing the two people on the side as unhappy and show the comparison between them and the girl who is jumping. They are stuck in a limiting lifestyle through drugs, while she is able to reach her full potential. 1. I took these photos in a dark room. I put the camera on manual mode with manual focus. I set the shutter speed to 8 seconds, the aperture at f/5.5, and the ISO was 100. I had my partner stand and wave their phone around while the Light Painting App was up. I had them try different movements and different settings on the Light Painting app.
2. I struggled to make the color really bright at first, but then I figured out that if I increased the brightness on my phone that fixed the problem really well. 3. I learned that a really long shutter speed can capture trails of light. Long shutter speeds also cause a blurred effect. Long Shutter speeds kind of capture movement through longer time frames, 4. I think it might be cool to use long shutter speed to get a picture of a car driving by at night. This would probably cause the cars lights to have a cool blurred trail. 1.To change the camera to shutter priority I turned the top dial to S. Then to change the shutter speed I turned the lower dial.
2. As Shutter speed gets faster moving objects/people become more clear. For example a shutter speed of 1/1000 would capture a person running much clearer than a shutter speed of 1/60. Also as shutter speed gets faster the photos can become darker. 3. I would want to use shutter speed during instances when I am trying to capture a clear photo of something moving. For example if I'm taking pictures of people playing sports or of a moving object I would increase the speed of the shutter speed to something like 1/1000. I can also decrease the shutter speed to something like 1/30 if I want to create a ghostly effect. For example if I want to get a ghostly picture of a car driving by. 4. Shutter speed: Shutter speeds are both a technical and aesthetic choice a photographer needs to make before releasing the shutter. The shutter inside your camera controls the duration of time the sensor is exposed to light. Capturing blur or motion in your photograph can emphasize movement and add drama. A fast shutter speed is often utilized to freeze the movement of a subject. A slow shutter speed can be used to show motion and visualize movement Shutter speeds are expressed as seconds or fractions of seconds A general rule to prevent unintentional camera shake you should avoid handholding your digital cameras at shutter speeds slower than 1 / 2 times the Using a tripod can eliminate camera shake when using slower shutter speeds. The visual blur and suggestion of movement occurs because the subject is moving against a static background Layering motions of different subjects moving different directions at different speeds can set up interesting dynamics within a photo. Fast shutter speeds can make normal subjects appear to freeze in the air. When photographing people running close to the camera a shutter speed of 1/1000 second or faster should freeze most motion. The distance the subject is from the camera, the speed of the subject. And the focal length of the lens will affect whether the subject is sharp or blurred. Slower shutter speeds can convey the idea of motion and movement. Slow shutter speeds combined with panning can help isolate the subject from a busy and distracting background A tripod combined with a long exposure can capture the fireworks trails. Water movement can be emphasized with long exposure. Daguerrotype: |
The Cyanotype was invented by John Herschel in 1842. The chemicals used in making cyanotypes are potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium citrate. How I made my cyanotype: 1. I brushed on a thin layer of emulsion on top of the paper 2. I dryed my paper with a hairdryer 3. I put my negative picture in-between the dry paper and glass. 4. I exposed it to sunlight for 10 minutes. 5. I started to fix my picture by rinsing it in water until no more yellow was on the paper. 6. I finished fixing my paper by putting it in a wash with hydrogen peroxide. |
Stacey and Tracey have been best friends since middle school. They have been inseparable and are always together. This Saturday they find themselves bored out of their minds and are discussing what fun thing to do. Neither of them want to waste their Saturday being bored.
They have been walking around town when suddenly Tracey sees a cool car in the distance. Stacey and Tracey don't usually like cars, but they have nothing better to do but go check it out. They decide to see what's going on.
After walking over to the racecar, Stacey and Tracey see that there are multiple cars. They come to the conclusion that this is a car show, which is something neither of them have seen before. They take some time to go around and look at the cars. Both Stacey and Tracey are surprised at how interesting looking at all the cars is.
All the sudden the cars line up as if they are going to race. People pop up out of nowhere and start preparing to take off. Stacey and Tracey are full of excitement as they wait for the cars to race. The cars then take off.
After the race Stacey and Tracey take time to speak to the leader of the street racing gang. He tells them that his racers go around and race at different areas in the city. Stacey and Tracey tell him how much fun it must be.
He offers Stacey and Tracey a spot in the gang and says they would learn how to race alongside the rest of the members. After considering his proposal Stacey and Tracey shake hands and agree. They are now part of the fast and furious street racers and will race the streets with the best.
These three photos were taken at different apertures in order to display the different effects of each level aperture. The first picture had the smallest aperture of f/1.8, creating a wider aperture size and more shallow depth of field. This is why the first box is in focus but the rest are blurry. The f/8 created a little less shallow depth of field, which is why the first two are more in focus than the last box. The last picture was f/16, which means it had the smallest aperture size, creating the largest depth of field. This large depth of field allowed the whole picture to be in focus and clear.
