Critiques on other people's academic shoot

She did really well with following  the rules and she really thought out side of the box. 2. Also, she got close to her subjects and made it really clear what her subject was, and what the rules were. 3. One thing that could be improved in her photos would be to make sure her photo ( for mergers) is in focus. But all of her photos are very clear it's just the one. :)

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...

Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO

1. The aperture settings available on this camera are anywhere between an aperture setting of F2.8 to F22 2.The shutter speeds available on this camera are high and low shutter speeds, to be more precise anywhere between 1 second to 1/4000 sec. 3.The ISO settings on the camera include anywhere between ISO 100 to ISO 25600

ISO

Photo on the right is taken with ISO 6400 The same photo set at ISO 100 and ISO 3200 1. The advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at a sporting event would be to quickly capture an image. 2. The author suggested to use a lower ISO as often as possible to allow for a clearer picture. 3. The author suggested using a higher ISO when needing to quickly take a photo (usually an action shot).

Shutter Speed

Photo taken with a lower shutter speed Photo taken with a high shutter speed 1. If I was assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and hotdogs when the sun was still up and there was still good lighting... a. at a booth in the middle of the yard I would use low shutter speed to show the direction of movement. b. while shooting at a food booth I would use low shutter speed since the action of eating food is not very fast and you can still show the direction of movement. c. Now if I was shooting the Silver Stars performance, I would use high shutter speed to capture the fast actions of the dancers. d. I would once again use high shutter speed to capture a picture of students dancing in the courtyard so you can capture their precise movements in clarity. e. I would use low shutter speed to capture people streaming in the front doors to show the massive direction of the people going into the school. f. I would use high shutter speed to capture students playing basketball so you can get ...

Aperture

The smaller Aperture will bring all objects into focus and a higher Aperture will focus on a single object in the photo and blur everything else. 3.Aperture impacts Depth of Field by deciding what parts of the photo will be in focus/ appear sharp. This is based on the size of the Aperture setting.
