Landscape: Activity 5:

Photo By: Salma Ortiz Diaz

This photo taken in Sedona shows a landscape utilizing foreground to create depth because of the bush in the front. The bush is the subject and makes everything else seem small. Also, it creates depth because of how far away everything else is.

This photo which was taken in Sedona by me is an example of an opened landscape because you are able to see the full picture. You can see from  the building all the way in the back to the mountains.

This photo I took also in Sedona has a closed landscape because the landscape is very minimal, the camera was on its side, so the tree is taller and there is less detail in the sides. This photo also has depth of field.

Landscape: Activity 3:

These landscapes pictures are similar because they are both of the main subject which is the Northern Lights. They both capture the sky perfectly and they both contain the mountains in the background. They both have the same concept. The difference is the different shades of colors used and different point of views.

This photo questions the social value or is a metaphor for personal issues that the photographer is trying to express because not only does the image say that the ocean is beautiful, but its also saying that the ocean is a dangerous place. I think the photographer is trying to say "go at your own risk."

This photograph also questions the social value or has a metaphor from the photographer because it shows the forrest, which is lovely, it has green grass, but the trees are dead looking and the sky looks gloomy. I think the photographer is trying to say that "nature is dying."

Photo By: Walker Evans

In this photograph, many just see a grave yard near many factories, but this image has a deeper meaning. I think the photographer is trying to say that the factories are ruining how people live, the industry community will be the death of  us. Walker Evans has captured more than a landscape picture, he has captured art by using different angles and using his creative side. This point of view gives the photograph more quality.

This photographer used a very slow shutter speed. The photograph is a small waterfall, but it may be hard to say because the idea of the water is not captured very slow. This is more of an abstract type of photo. The only technical difficulty that occurred in this photo would probably just be, trying to capture a concept or idea. To overcome any type of problems this photographer should of used a faster shutter speed.

This set of 4 photographs (above) shows that each have a very fast shutter speed.  The moment is frozen in time. For the first example, the technique it has is shallow depth of field and for the rest of the photos, they have depth of field which makes the main focus be easily seen.

These photos (above) are examples of a slow shutter speed, but they are also considered panning. The panning allows the background to be blurred while the main focus is still able to be seen. It doesn't have to be frozen or non-blurred. The photos capture the "panning method" very well.

Time: Activity 2:

This photo was captured with a fast shutter speed (1/600). The dolphin is captured jumping perfectly in the air and the background is not blurred, its just still. There aren't any difficulties that the photographer encountered, maybe just waiting for a dolphin to come by, but that's something you can't really fix. The depth of field just includes the water going a bit further. Also, the images does give the impression of movement because the dolphin is frozen in the air and that gives it more a of a "wow" factor. It might feel like your with the actual dolphin.

This photo also uses fast shutter speed. The bubble is about to be popped and the only problem the photographer might of encountered, would of been making sure the bubble doesn't pop by itself. To overcome this, he or she would of blowed more bubbles. There isn't a depth of field because the background is blurred out and the main focus is the bubble. This photo does give the impression of movement because when the person is about to pop the bubble the waters specks show, you can see the bubble being popped, half of it is already popped and the other is in process of being popped.

Look at a Henri Cartier-Bresson photograph and discuss why you think that capturing the decisive moment has added to the picture’s quality. 

This photograph has a decisive moment because the young children are living in poverty and one of them is disabled or hurt. It makes me feel sorry for them and want to help them, so by that it makes the picture have more quality. This picture has a framing composition. (Photo by: Henri Cartier-Bresson)  

This photograph also has a decisive moment and gives the picture more quality because the little kid is by himself and the wall is ruined, so it makes it seem like he lives in a poverty area. It also, makes me feel bad for him.  (Photo by: Henri Cartier-Bresson)  

Light: Activity 2:

This picture is being hit by a single light, but the photographer is using a reflector which makes the picture more bright and lit up.
(Photograph by: David Peterson)

This photo uses multiple light sources. We know this because the first light is allowing her left side be lit and another camera is allowing the right side be lit and creates a shadow. Bonus, for showing rule of thirds! (photo by: Mark Stagi)

Light: Activity 3:

This photographer used light in this photograph. You can see they shadow on the side of her face. The photographer probably used a light meter because it would be easier not to over expose or underexpose the women's face. (Photographer:Julia Gibson)

Obviously the same model, but totally different lighting. This photographer made this model's face more dark with lighting. He also, used a light meter to make sure he got this effect. it makes the photograph more darker and the right side is getting more light and there a small shadow in the back. (Photograher: Kenny Gee)

Light: Activity 4:

 This is an example of DEEP depth of field because  the background and foreground are in focus. This photographer used an aperture of f/18. So the bigger the aperture is grater depth of field.

This is an example of DEEP depth of field because all the boats focused and the background is clear. This photographer probably used a large aperture size.
(Photo found at: www.photo.stackexchange.com)

This is an example of shallow depth of field because some of the keys are focused and the rest is blurred out or not focus.
(Photo found at: www.colourbox.com)

This is an example of shallow depth of field because the main focus is the dandelion and the background isn't distracting.

Light: Activity 1:

This is an example of hard light because the light makes the image clear and sharpens the outline of the couple. The light also makes shadows around the faces, etc. The mood is romantic.
(Photo by: Jim Harmer)









This is also an example of hard light because the light brings out the texture in the hands. The mood of this image is dark.
(Photo by: Jim harmer)










This is an example of soft light because there is no light causing shadows or texture. The mood of this picture is happy and illuminate.

Frame and Composition: Activity 4:

This photograph is balanced because it the picture weighs in evenly. The horses are dark and the background is eerie and soft. So the whole picture is balanced out with the colors.
(Photo by: © Julie Waterhouse Photography)







This picture shows the vibrant pink being balanced to the natural green. Therefore, this is another example of balance.
(Photo founded at: www.imagesavy.com)

This photo is unbalanced because the print on 

the left is attracting the viewer's attention. 

It makes the viewers pull away. Therefore this is an example of unbalanced.

This Photo is unbalanced because the color and brightness of the flowers weigh more and make the photo overwhelming.

Frame & Composition: Activity 3:

This is an example of "Rule of Thirds" because the palm tree is off center and goes through the imaginary lines.
(Photo from www.flikr.com)

This is also an example of "Rule of Thirds" because the sun and boat are passing the imaginary lines and the sun is on the imaginary point.
(Photo from www.google.com)

 This is NOT an example of "Rule of Thirds" because its symmetrical. If you fold this photo in half it will be the same on both sides.
(Photo from www.google.com)









This is NOT an example of "Rule of Thirds." This is an example of asymmetric because the photo is not balanced or the same on both sides.

Frame & Composition: Activity 2:

Q. What does John Szarkowski mean when he says that photographers are quoting ‘out of context’ when they make photographic pictures? 

A: Szarkowski means that photographers think outside the box or have no rules toward their art. For example, if a photographer takes a picture many other people and photographers have a different view of the photo, but none of the views are wrong.

Q. The frame often ‘dissects familiar forms’. At the end of the last century photography was having a major impact on Art. Impressionist artists such as Degas were influenced by what they saw. Look at these examples of Degas work, which clearly shows the influence of Photography, and explain why the public might have been shocked to see such paintings.

A: The public might of been shocked because the painting is so realistic and have very specific details. It shows depth and rule of thirds something a photographer might be focusing on.The artist (Edgar Degas) proved that photography is also an art.

Painting by: Edgar Degas

Frame & Composition: Activity 1:

This image shows "rule of thirds" because it intersects the imaginary lines. It also shows the lamp as the main focus point which makes the background not distracting.

This image shows "rule of thirds. It also shows shallow depth of field because the background is sort of visible, but blurred out to make the flower the main focus.
