9/11 Photos


As smoke billows from the north tower, the second hijacked plane bears down on the south tower

This picture shows the rule of thirds very well, because it shows how the main focus of this picture is actually where the source of the black smoke emitting from the building. 


this image clearly shows framing by the boarder around the firefighter who is climbing the ladder in the photo. The framing in this photo also directs your attention to the man on the ladder.

Lines is shown by this image, because the backdrop for this person who had to jump out of the window of a building on 9/11 are a bunch of dynamic and diagonal lines. 


I believe this picture shows Balance by having the people in the picture at different depths in the photo, which is forming different shapes. This was one of the rules of photography that I had the hardest time with though.

The rule of Simplicity is in this picture because the main focus is the burning building, and its on top of the baby blue sky.



I find this photo to be a merger. It cuts off her toes, and it doesn't obviously show any of the rules that I can think of. We should avoid taking pictures like this one, but this is still a sad picture.

Camera History

1. It's a hole in a wall that acts as a lens, projecting light into a dark room.
2. Issac Newton and Christian Hyugens perfected the lens.
3.The film that was places in the camera, which he considered to be his 'Final Touch'.
4.The light passing through the lens into the camera that hits the film and creates the image.
5.  Digital cameras get their photos with an electronic sensor called a CCD, that acts kind of like a digital film.
6. Auto Mode is fully automatic and Program Mode is the manual, default for most modern cameras. 
7.This is used to take a picture of one specific thing, blurring out the background to put more attention on the subject.
8.This is used to freeze motion and the camera will use it's highest shutter speed possible to capture the photo.
9.Basically what you have to do is set the shutter and the aperture yourself.
10.Pointing the camera at the subject and then doing the "half-press", should focus on your subject and assure you that your photo should be in full focus.
11..Disabled Flash means "No Flash". You should use this when you already have enough light in the room, or you want to have a more dramatic picture and want to use the natural lighting.
12.Auto Flash means exactly what it says, the flash is automatic. It is enabled by default and will automatically ,ale the flash of light if the camera deems necessary.
13.If your photo has too much light, it will probably be too bright and you probably won't be able to see the image.
14. If the photo is too dark, same thing as if it were too bright, it would probably be so dark that you couldn't see the image in the photo.
15. The term "Stop" in photography terms is to represent a relative change in luminosity. 
16.If there were two suns instead of two, it would be one stop brighter.
17.f there were four suns instead of two, it would be three stops brighter.
18. Longer shutter speeds let in more light into the photo.
19. Shorter shutter speeds let in less light into the photo.
20. The aperture is like the pupil, it controls exactly how large the opening is and helps to decide how much light there will be in the photograph, as well as how focused the photo can be.
21. The more you open up the lens, the more light will go into the lens and make the photograph brighter.

First Day Pics :)

 
Here I took a picture of the vibrant flowers. I just thought that they were so pretty, and I could see them from all the way across the courtyard. The color really pops in this picture. Also the flowers closest aren't in focus.

This photo is out of focus but I choose it because I found it really cool. It also shows how lonely this guy I don't know is, but I thought that the isolation shown in this photo was calming. I also like how one side of the room is lit up and the other side is gloomy.

Why?

I want to be in this class because I want to be able to take nice pictures on good cameras. Not only that, but i want to be able to create good content for my social medias. Plus I've always had an interest in taking pictures of the beauty in the world.
