Extra credit falling man response.

 The photo of the falling man is the most famous photo that people were unable to see. In the photo, it shows a man plummeting to his death. As he falls, the picture captures him looking peaceful even though the wind and degree made it anything but. This picture is so sad and is hard to believe this actually happened. It is hard to look at this, and my generation didn't even live through this. I can't imagine actually have lived through it. The hardest part is when you think about the people whom were in the building and how they had lives and families. I can't imagine having a normal day then all of a sudden your life is at deaths door. The man in the photo was not identified for almost five years. Even after identified, it is not completely assured it is him. I can't imagine anything like this or how it feels to be so hopeless as in to jump. This picture is defiantly important and should be shown so that people can truly understand just how bad that day was.

Academic shoot

1. Avoid mergers 2. The subject of my photo is the two boys in the back writing and the boy scratching his head. the merger is the blonde boy in the bottom of the photo. 3.I think it is fairly clear that the 3 boys are the main subject with the blond boy as the merger. 4. If people couldn't easily tell I could have gotten closer to the boys and maybe have made my subject smaller and done 2 boys instead of 3. (and a half) 1. Rule of thirds 2.The subject of my photo is the girl reading her book 3. It is pretty clear whom my subject is since she is what the photo mainly focuses on. 4. If it isn't clear, I should have gotten closer to her and crop out the boy on the far left. 1. Simplicity 2. The subject of my photo is the piece of art. 3. I think it is pretty clear since the main thing in focus is the drawing. 4. If it isn't clear I should have used a high aperture setting to blur out everything except for my main subject. 1.balance 2. The subject of m...

Academic shoot reflection and critique

1. Some of the challenges I faced while trying to follow the rules during the shoot was, that it was hard to find all of the rules. I thought it would be easy but it was actually kind of hard to find some of them. Not only that but as a photographer, i personally like more of a clear background but you can't do that with academic shoots since their are people everywhere! Lastly, their was not the best lighting since it was in a classroom. 2. I thought the most about the rules since that was what we were out there to do. I also focused on flipping the camera horizontal for some photos that I needed a closer and more full- body picture for. 3. If I could do the shoot again, I would try to get closer to some of the "subjects" to make sure it focuses only on the things I wanted in the photo. 4. I would keep my balance photo, my lines photo, and the simplicity picture. These are my favorite photos since I feel that they are good examples of the rule. 5. I think that the ne...

The Camera

                                                                The Camera                 1. The "camera obscura" effect is an optical effect which inside a completely dark room, a small hole is made. Through the hole, light is focused and the optical effect is projected upside down on the opposite wall. 2. When Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding go optics which helped getting to the modern camera. 3. In 1827, Joseph Niépce added film which pretty much created the modern camera. 4. Modern Cameras still use film and has the same basics except Niépce camera took over 8 hours to expose. 5. digital cameras use electronic sensors called a CCD. to capture a photo. The photographs are stored on the reusable computer memory.           ...
