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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
