Abandoned Theme Parks

1. I would like to visit Okpo Land in South Korea. This amusement park intrigues me for the number of "accidents" that happened and that the kart that killed the little girl is exactly in the same position that  claimed her life. The park seems as if a perfect horror movie location and would make for stunning photos that would send shivers down most spines. There is so much you could do with the park and because of its interesting story, it makes it a perfect art peace for those of us willing to enter.

3. Five other unusual places that I would like to visit would be:
- the hidden Beach-Mexico
- Zhangye danxie Landforms: Gansu, China
- Salar de Uyuni: Bolivia
- Mendenhall Ice Caves: Juneau, Alaska
- The door to hell- Turkmenistan

5. I think that the Mendenhall Ice Caves, located in Juneau, Alaska would be an amazing place to take photos. This is because it almost appears as if you are underwater, but in reality you are surrounded by ice. The photos taken here are absolutely amazing and it seems as if it wouldn't be possible to get a bad photo here. Not only that but there is good enough lighting to where you could get a clear shot of the ice cave.

6. In order to take a trip to Juneau, Alaska, it would cost around $600 and that is just the plain ticket. The hotel fee on top of that is around $100 a night so depending on how long you stay, you are looking at around $700+. In order to do this trip you would need to do some serious saving up. You would need to pack clothes for cold weather and most importantly pack your camera! You would probably need to stay overnight so that you can see the cave change as the time of day changes. Tours are available here but you would need to find a special guide that would allow you to stay overnight.

Academic shoot

Image
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.           ...
