Great Black and white Photographers Part 3

1. The first thing that caught my eye about this photo was the angle it was shot at. I really liked how suspicious the tree makes the house look.
2. I see the clumpy mold growing on the light pole. i smell the dryness in the air. I hear the the brush of abandonment. I taste bitterness. I feel alone.

1. The unique shape of the tree is what really drew me to the picture. I've never seen anything like it and the photographer did a grate job one displaying simplicity.
2. I see an old persons wrinkly hand. The sense of aging is in the air. I hear the cracking of the tree. i taste bits of crumbled soil. I feel useless.

Mural Preview

1. A theme I could use for my moral is Academies. I would take pictures of each academy and show what it has to offer.
2.This theme is worth devoting time to because it shows how many different opportunities Akins has to offer. It could help students realize that there are many careers out there to choose them and Akins has just what they need to prepare us for the future.
3. An advantage of using a phone camera is that its portable and we can pull it out whenever its needed. a disadvantage of using a phone camera is that not all phone cameras have the best quality.
4. The advantage of using a SLR camera is that it has many properties to use and is made to take to best quality photos.
5. We should use SLR camera for this project because its more professional and is way better quality, cause some people don't even have phones.

AFRICA

When i saw the power point all i could say was "WOW!" I loved every single picture, so it was hard to pick my favorite. I ended up choosing the picture above,which shows a mother cheetah with her three cubs laying on a rock. This picture is my favorite because i love the unity and the background really just pulls it together. In this picture it shows the balance rule between the two little cubs in the left corner.

1. He uses a Pentax 67ll with only two fixed lenses.

2. To show the being of the animals, before there are no longer here.

3. His hope is to show how beautiful animals are and how we should protect them.

4. "The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes."

Academic Shoot Reflection

1. This whole shoot was probably the hardest shoot I've ever done. It was really hard to find the rules in a learning environment, being the photographer I had to be very creative.
2. While i was shooting i tried holding the camera in different angles. When doing this i would see something in a whole different way just by changing the angle i shot it in.
3. If i could do this shoot again, I would pick better environments  where the rules are better shown. I also would be more aware and not just take sloppy pictures that didn't represent the rules properly.
4. I don't think I would do much of the same thing I did, because i think i did a pretty horrible shoot.
5. The next time I go out I think that simplicity and balance would be the easiest rules to achieve.
6. The hardest rule to capture would be the rule of thirds.
7. The Rule Of Thirds is the hardest rule for me to understand. To fix this I could do more research on the rule and look at examples.

Academic Shoot

SIMPLICITY

 I followed the rule pretty well,but it would have been better if the background was clearer. 

The subject in this photograph is the guy in the green shirt painting. The subject is very clear to the people  looking at my photo because he's the only one in it.

AVOIDING MERGERS 

It is way easier to take a bad picture compared to a good picture, as shown in the picture above. There are many subjects, but in the left corner you see a girl poring white paint, and it looks like the girl behind hers nose. The subject isn't really clear.

BALANCE

This photo signifies balance well, because the human body is naturally balanced. Also the book is balanced  too.The photographs subject is the guy in the stripped shirt reading a book. It is very clear that he his the subject, he's nice and centered.

RULE OF THIRDS

I did okay on this rule,rule of thirds is the hardest for me to understand. The subject in the photo is the guy in the right corner, which should be clear to the viewers.

FRAMING 

For framing i  think i did good, but i could've done better. The subjects are the students and the computers, which are being framed by the wooden desks.

                                                                           LINES
Lines is personally my favorite rule to take pictures of, but this isn't the best picture. The students are sitting in their desk, which are formed in a line. I could've taken a picture where the lines actually lead somewhere.

Academics/ Community Service

The Story

This photo visually shows a group of teens feeding the homeless hot dogs.

 Action and Emotion

In this picture Two students are playing with the teacher and being silly!

    Filling the Frame 

The frame is filled with the two guys,darkness, and the purple gas.

  Favorite Picture

I chose this photograph because i really like the bird point of view it was taken in. There is a nice show of lines on the sides with the books, and balance.

1. I think i could take photos like these in a science, reading, or an art classroom.

2.Im really not familiar with most teachers at akins so i don't know what teachers i would go to.

3. To get photos like these i would take photos at different angles and up close.
