Final Exam review

1.
Man looks into the light of an oncoming train as he sits blindfolded.
The refugees who were kidnapped had to face horrible circumstances.

2.


The geese look forward as they see their brand new pond.
The geese farm had been in a drought for almost a year with no pond until yesterdays large rain in which the pond filled up.
3.

 1. Rule of thirds-  subject is at the far end of the photo. 
2. Balancing Elements- two objects balance out the photo to make it look even on both ends.
3. Leading Lines- The photo has lots of lines leading to the subject.
4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)- there is a similar pattern throughout the photo.
5. Viewpoint- Taking a photo from a strange angle or up above the subject.
6. Background- Having a clear background that is not chaotic is usually the best for photos (especially for simplicity)
7. Create depth- distance between the camera and the subject.
8. Framing- there is something showcasing the subject: usually like a frame.
9. Cropping- Where the subject is very close and most of their body has been cropped.
10. Mergers and avoiding them- when two subjects become merged to look like one


4.

1.Aperature- how much light is let into the photo through the opening.
2.Shutter Speed- setting that either takes many pictures very fast or one photo at a normal speed.
3. ISO- determines how sensitive the camera is to the light.

5. In photoshop you can manipulate the image to make it a more depth color or bring the brightness up or down. You should not completely  change the image to where the subject has been transformed. ex. don't slim them down so much that they look like a whole new person.

6.Portraits

 Environmental- When the photo is taken of what the subject does. For example, a soccer player getting a photo on a soccer field.
 Casual- More candid photos that are not serious.
 Self- When the photographer takes photos of themselves and are usually more serious.
Formal- a posed photo that is more professional.

7. Exposure- The amount of light per square unit.
Depth of field-the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects
Focal length- the distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror and its focus.

8. Early- Magazine covers were just drawings and type.
Poster- The photo is the main showcase of the cover with little type.
Married to type-The cover has the photo with type that goes around the photo without covering it.
Forest of words- the photo is taken over by the type with type covering the photo.

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...

File Formats

RAW VS. JPEG What are  three  advantages of a RAW file:   - Higher dynamic range - Has an easy software to download - Displays highlights and shadows What is  one  disadvantage of a RAW file: It is not as sharp What are  three  advantages of a JPEG file: - Has a higher contrast range - Sharper - Is immediately able to print What is  one  disadvantage of a JPEG file:  Has a lower dynamic range WHAT IS RAW AND WHY MIGHT YOU NEED IT? 1. Under the first heading "Capturing the Images," how much of the data does a RAW file retain after it is captured by the camera?  It retains all of the data without compressing it, and are larger than JPEG's because they are retaining more data.  2. Under the second heading "Processing the Files," what are some of the things that a RAW file enables a photographer to edit after the image is taken? You control the balance,contrast, highlights, shadows, colors, a...

1. Spiral Staircases  http://petapixel.com/2014/12/19/disorienting-beauty-spiral-staircases-old-abandoned-buildings/ On this website, I looked at many different photos of strange spiral staircases from around the world. Many were from abandoned buildings especially from Germany. I learned that there is beauty in every day things such as staircases if shot at the right angle. In order for this to happen, the photographer must find the pattern, and position their camera in order to capture the pattern.  a) I chose this photo because I love the lines and the pattern that directs you down the photo. I love that it messes with your brain and doesn't look like a normal staircase. b) The rules of photography that I see in the photo are lines as the lines all lead you to the bottom of the photo(the ground). c) Christian Richter took the photo. He is an art architecture photographer from JeBnitz, Germany. 2. Great Portraits  http://blog.phowd.com/2014/09/7-tips...
