Academic Shoot Preview

The photo i chose was the first photo of the Academics & Community Service. It shows a guy pouring a green liquid and a blue liquid into a glass beaker. A purple liquid is created, and the guy is learning through that experiment.

1.) I picked this photo because you could easily see what the guy was doing and you could tell he was learning.

2.) Simplicity - Because the background isn't complicated, The Rule of Thirds - Because their is something to look at if you drew the tic tac toe box, Lines - Because his fingers and the liquid from the two flasks are leading you to where to look, Balance - Because his hands are on both sides, and his head is in the middle, Framing - Because the center of interest (The 3 liquids) are in the foreground and the background is blurred.

1.) I think i would take photos like the ones i see at lunch, or with friends.
2.) I would visit this classroom, or i would visit my Pe class.
3.) I would use the 6 basic rules of photography, and i would learn more, and then i would use everything i know to take good photos.

Filling The Frame

Filling The Frame

I chose this one as the Most Interesting/ Filling The Frame photo. I chose this one because it shows them having an awesome time and because the bubbles fill up almost of the frame, but you can still see the people and tell that their happy. I think that they are filling the frame up with what they are doing in the scene.

Action and Emotion

Best Action/Emotion Photo

I think this photo is the best action and emotion photo. They are all smiling and you can tell that they are having a very good time. Most of them are participating and putting their hands in the smoke. Everyone seems to be having fun and enjoying the time. You can tell by their actions that they are enjoying it, and their emotions look happy by the smile on their faces.

The Story

Best Story Photo

I think this photo tells the best story. I think that from this picture they are all doing what they should, and they are connected. They look happy, and the trees and stuff that surround them looks nice. They are all holding hands and relaxing. They all look like they are having a good time together. It tells a story of how everyone can connect and be happy.

Post Shoot Reflection

1.) Some challenges i faced to get the red, metal, and happy photos were...
- Time limit was a challenge, but it wasn't much of a problem for me.
- Location was a challenge because it was hard to find good photos of everything.
- Things to take pictures of was a challenge because many things were boring or just not good.

2.) The things i thought about during the assignment was where to go, to take a good photo, and what things can i take a good picture of. I was also thinking about how it focused and what angle looked better.

3.) If i could redo this assignment i would take many photos of the same thing, and i would make sure you can see what I'm taking a picture of clearly. I would use most of the 6 basic rules of photography.

4.) I would still go to the same places, and take pictures of the same thing, but i would use a different method, and i would know how to take a better photo.

5.) For my Best Red Photo i took i used The Rule of Thirds, Balance, Framing, and Avoiding Mergers. For my Best Happy Photo i took i used The Rule of Thirds, Balance, Framing, Lines, and Avoiding Mergers. For my Best Metal Photo i took i used The Rule of Thirds, Lines, Avoiding Mergers, and Framing.

6.) Yes, i guess i am interested in shooting those compositions again, because it was fun trying to find out where to take, and how to take good photos.

Extra Credit, The Falling Man

The Falling Man

I think this photo is sad and happy at the same time. It is sad because he is plunging to his death, but it is also happy because he can end his life without painfully burning in fire or choking on smoke. He has accepted death, and knowing that is it impossible to escape, he leaped. Many people say he looks relaxed in this photo. I think he does look relaxed, almost ready, for what is going to happen. No one knows who the falling man is because so many people jumped, got pushed, or blown out of the building. Some people say he is a symbol of freedom. I believe that too. He is completely free while jumping out. Even though he will die, he will be free. No matter who he is, he will always be known as the falling man.

First 6 Rules Of Photography

Simplicity

In this photo the blue background of the sky makes it very simple, and the building can be seen clearly.

The Rule Of Thirds

In this photo you could draw the tic tac toe lines, and you would have something of interest in that area.

Lines

In this photo the tops of the buildings are leading you to the main subject of the picture.

Balance

In this photo there is balance between the colors of the words, and how the words are stacked on top of each other.

Framing

In this photo it shows framing, because the center of the photo is where the subject is, and because the trees are in the foreground and the buildings are in the background, and the smoke is everywhere.

Avoiding Mergers

In this photo an arm is cropped off in the bottom right corner, which is a merger.
