Three Pillars of Exposure
Aperture
The iris and or pupil is related to the aperture.
The smaller the aperture the more blurry the background is , the higher the aperture the sharper the background.
The larger the f-number the sharper the picture and the smaller the f-number the blurry the background is.
Shutter Speed
During the day:
the dunking booth (fast)
the food eating contest (medium)
the rock climbing wall (slow)
someone working at a booth (slow)
the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle (medium)
the Diamonds performance (fast)
During the night:

ISO
What are the advantages of the shooting with the higher ISO setting at a sporting even like a night football game? As it gets darker the ISO brightens it up
What suggestions did the author make using a low ISO? if you change the Aperture setting higher

Great Black and White Photos Part 3
When I saw the picture I thought the first one that showed nature and since I like the outdoors and water, the waterfall is the first thing that caught my eye.
The second one is the outcome of a battle and I liked the fact that the photographer wasn't scared and was open minded and he thought instead of taking it during the battle he took the aftermath of it and we the future generation get to see the blood that was shed and I thought it was a way to honor the lives lost.
As I take the picture of the water fall I see the harsh currents pushing the broken branches and all the living creatures in their natural habitat, I smell the oder of pine trees and fishes. I can hear the waters gushing down towards the mouth of the river and all the insects harmoniously making music. I can feel the heat on my back as I try to take the perfect picture. I can taste my saliva as I feel dehyrated and the aftertaste you get when I eat fish.
I see the body's piled up and dead on the ground, horses lost from their riders, guns empty of gunpowder just pure silence, soldiers looking for survivors, Blood everywhere! I feel the emptiness and dead silence. I feel hurt and just filthy from running away from the battle. Before I took this picture I heard gun shots and screams of pain. I taste nothing but sweat running down your face.
I want to make posters since there might be a limited amount of photos the photographer took and since the pictures are so old he might be dead and what's a better attention getter than huge posters plastered everywhere. Because to me his picture really do have a greater meaning and is pretty historical

Mural Project Preview
Shoes; Many say shoes take you to places, me being a shoe-holic I think that different shoes people have expresses who you are and why your comfortable in. It also gives you a feeling of new fashion and gives people up to date on what to wear these days. Fashion always change now the 60's fashion are in and so are effortless looking shoes like toms or vans that smells teens! I would rather have a more high tech camera when walking around taking pics because they are all so clear and details are a must. The disadvantages in a SLR camera is that I can't take any weird angles like I would with IPhone. For my theme I would rather want a SLR because I just need it to be clear and the viewers be able to see the designs and details and I don't have to be in a weird pose or position all I have to do is look down.
Africa Black and White
The pictures were amazing they really made it simple but it was enough to make me go awe. The picture was so zoomed in and clear, all the details on the wild-life animals. They were all amazing but the one that I thought was so adorable is the one where a lion and lioness were head to head and it kinda reminded me of Lion King
The picture shows the rules simplicity and framing because lions are right in the middle of the picture and it shows simplicity because there isn't anything that will avert the eyes of viewers.
The photographer did not use a telephoto but used a Pentax 67II. His goals while taking the picture was to record wild animals and locations before they were destroyed by the hands of man. I think he hoped for people to see these pictures and wanting people to find out more about it and want to preserve them before they go extinct.

academic shoot reflection
The challenges that I faced were pretty hard for me since I had to ask some teachers I didn't know permission to take the pictures and since it was a working environment I couldn't really ask for their attention or I had to be the one to capture all the moving people so it shows the photo composition. Some became really blurry so I had to press the button or take it seconds before they did the action and the fact that some of them had been posing for simplicity or balance but seconds later they move.
I think since it was already on auto focus it was easier to take picture in the distance and I was pretty good at getting down so it was positioned right. There was definitely more bad

Lines
I think that since rockets are parallel from each other and are pointed to the same direction it really shows the viewers what the photo is about, and since the background is simple everyone should be more focused on how they are positioned.
Avoiding Mergers
This is what NOT to do because as you can see the model in the photo is wearing all black and so is the jacket and since the colors collided with each other you can't see the jacket or if someone were to look at it from far you wouldn't be able to see it clearly.
Rules Of Thirds
In my head I saw a grid and to me it seems the guy (subject) is right on the 2nd line. The background is a pretty boring so the viewer won't be focused on it
Framing
The model is right in the middle of the board making him the subject and the board around him looking like a frame.
Balance
The models are right in the middle of the picture and it seems that the surrounding objects make it even more so.

911 Photo Composition
Simplicity-
The Rule Of Thirds-
The man is in the line of the thirds and its tragic what happened but the picture fits the composition.
Lines-
The burning building is a little depressing to look but under the fire the windows make a perfect line.
Balance-
The buildings make it perfect and balanced so I think its a great photo to look at.
Framing-
The river makes a good frame for the picture of the city.
Avoiding Mergers-
The woman is camouflaged with the background which is bad.
I chose this pic because I thought that the photographer did a great job taking picture of the building and just the building, nothing else is interfering with the picture.

Elements of Art and Principles of Design
Elements of Art
Line-are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.
I chose this picture because the glasses are perfectly aligned with each other and create a neat line with a cool effect from the wine glass.
Shape-are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.
The fin of the shark makes a triangular shape because it is black and white it emphasizes the shark fin that is why I chose it as a Shape photo.
Color-wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.
Its obvious why I chose this picture because of the beautiful colors all over the park making it look like a wonderland.
Tone-refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between. Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.
I love the color of this picture making it look vintage and the reflection looks very beautiful.
Form-describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.
The rocks looks so three dimensional because of the spaces between the rocks and creates that beautiful image.
Texture-can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless. Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.
For me I thought that the picture looks so 3D and makes the viewer feel as if they can feel the surface of the tree.
Space-refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
The fact that the photographer took the picture looking up into the distance and the telephone line look fort of three dimensional and the different colors makes a cool effect. Principles of Design
Balance- is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art. There are three different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. The human figure is symmetrically balanced; the same on the left and right side. The tree is asymmetrically balanced; its branches are not distributed equally on each side, but their total weight is balanced left and right. The sun is an example of radial balance; all its rays are equal in length from the center.
The man is so symmetrical and if you were to fold him he would be equal on both sides
Contrast- is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas. It is used to make a painting look interesting.
The colors are so weird it looks like it came out of a Tim Burton movie. The different shades and the mixture of color
Emphasis- in the focal area of an artwork gives it importance. An artist may stress some elements of the design over others. The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition.
You can tell the photographer made it so the flowers are the main focus of the picture.
Movement- in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area. Movement is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position. Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with the placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.
It looks blurry but the you can see the lines of the dancer.
Pattern- are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again. Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.
I love the pattern because the beautiful colors and pattern the snowflake like patterns make.
Rhythm-is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms. Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly. Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.
You can see the repetition of the light lamp thing and its looks like its out of a castle or church
Unity- means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony. Unity brings together a composition with similar units. For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.
The boat and water fit perfectly together and the black and white effect make the elements look like they belong together
Line-are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.
Shape-are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.
