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."

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.

Time: Activity 4:

Photo By: Jason Rogers
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.
