Float

 The inspiration i got after taking the photo was like karate kid but now karate girl :). I was trying to illustrate that women are strong to and they can defend there self's from predators like Ryen. i think in my opinion that the background is to white so it was hard trying to find a place that had good lighting. i didn't really overcome them this time but people say the background looks good.
 my inspiration is a floating person. it just looks like Ryen is floating in mid air like criss angel. i didn't really have any technical difficulties because erasing the chair was really easy.
My inspiration in this photo is just Zane jumping and me catching him in mid air. i didn't like the spots that the suns rays gave me in the picture so i cropped most of the picture for you can only focus on Zane.

Creative Controls



  1. Which Aperture makes a wider hole in the lens for light to come through? F/3.5 
  2.  Which Aperture lets more light into the camera to hit the image sensor? F/5.6
  3.  Which Aperture keeps more of the foreground and background in focus? F/11.
  4.  Which Shutter Speed is faster? or 1/200 second.
  5.  Which Shutter Speed keeps the door in the camera open for more time? 1/125 second.
  6.  Which Shutter Speed is best for stopping action? 1/200 second.                                                                                              

            


                  In these three photo there are a lot of differences about them all. like in the first photo i took the photo more further away then when i took the picture in the second photo. the second one is much different from the last one because it is way more in focus. the last photo is really blurry.


there are a lot of differences in this three photos. the one with the aperture more open is the first one. so that means that the first photo lets more light in. the third picture keeps more of the background in focus. the last photo has a higher shutter speed too. the first picture shutter speed is lower then the other two photos. the best for stopping motion would be the last photo.





                    the  photo that leaves more light in is the first one, the first photo lets more light in as well. the last photo background is the most in focus, the picture that has the fastest shutter speed is the last photo too. the longer shutter speed is the first one. the last photos shutter speed stops the most action.

    Photoshop Tutorials

    I had trouble warping my face smaller and making it fit the little puppy head. I just didn't stop trying and after a while i got the hang of how to overcome my wall. I think i liked putting myself in a dog.

    I didn't know how to do the step that you had to merge but then i got it so it was not that bad. i called Julie to come and help me and she did. that i found cool that i never knew that i can create someone to make it seem like they are a cartoon.

    I Dint run in any problems on this one because i already had problems on the first sketch so then i got threw this one fast. i liked making myself into a sketch.

    i dint have any problems went threw it smoothly. i liked to see myself as a cartoon.

    i had problems knowing where to get the other picture to put in the background. i ask a neighbor if he could help me so he showed me where to get it from so that was nice. its cool to see a picture like this that i made myself.

    no problems. its cool to see me in a different perspective.

    no problems. its funny to see another person like your photo twins cx.

    i had problems warping my face big and like a bear. i got it after a while so that was good. it was cool to make my face as a bear lol.

    this was probably my easiest photo that i did because i look like a monkey so yeah lol cx. i liked to put myself as a monkey.

    i dint really have any problems on this one too. so i got threw it fast and easy. i like tigers so it was cool to put myself as a animal that i like.

    blog post # 6

    Blog Post #6:
    TITLE: Personal Compostion
    Take photos that show you understand the following composition techniques:
    • Rule of Thirds
    • Fill the Frame
    • Use Lines Effectively
    Post two of your best photos for EACH technique ( That is a total of 6 photos)
    For each photo answer the following questions:
    • What are the points of interest in this shot?
    • Where did you intentionally place the main subject?
    • Why do you think this is a strong example of the composition technique?
    • Is there anything that you think can be improved in this

    personal composstion

    the point of interest is to the left side and it is the mouse. i put the mouse hanging on a chain. i think this is a good rule of thirds because it is off to the left side more. i think the more crisp it could have been.

    the point of interest the photo is off to the left side and it is the mouse. i took this picture putting the mouse on a ledge. i think this is a good rule of thirds because the mouse is off to one side. i think that this photo is really crisp an stuff so i don't really know what i would have to fix on her.

    the point of interest is to the end of where the lines go to. i took it looking side ways on a wall in school. because the line of the wall are leading up to an end point. i would have liked to put something interesting all the way in the end to make the picture pop more.

    the point of interest is the wire leading up to the mouse. the main subject of this photo is the wire leading to the mouse in the middle. i think this is a strong example of leading line because it is cool to see where the wire ends up to. i don't really know really if i have to fix anything of this photo.

    the point of interest is the mouse. i placed this in the grass. this is a good fill in the frame because it fills up the whole image. really nothing has to be changed.

    the point of interest of the photo is the mouse. i took it on the ledge. its a good fill in the frame because it covers the whole picture. i don't have to improve basically nothing.

    leading lines








    This train trail is so cool because this project has to be about leading lines and this picture is so awesome and cool and the perfect photo I needed. Some several reason why i like this picture is because of the sun and clouds make it look cool,also because the graffiti around the walls and the grass.

    Rule of Thirds
    Fill the Frame
    Use Lines Effectively
    For the best example of each composition technique (This is only three pictures that your are writing about... 1 for Rule of Thirds, 1 for Fill the Frame and 1 for Use of Lines) write a short paragraph about how the photographer used the technique effectively.

    Fill In The Frame



    For Fill in the frame i chooses this picture because Halloween is coming up and I'm going go trick o treating and it makes me so excited just by watching all these candy's that I am get on Halloween. I all these candy in this photo are basically the candy's i love eating.
