Framing

Shapes or Other Elements that Enclose the Object


Light/Shadow

Environmental Elements

Architectural Elements

Reflection:
  1. What camera metering mode (evaluative/matrix, center-weighted or spot) did I use for each image and why?
    1. For all of the photos, I used center weighted metering because all of the photos have a subject that needed to be exposed correctly. 
  2. What white balance settings did I use for each image?
    1. auto
    2. auto
    3. Sunny
    4. Cloudy
  1. Do I have a strong composition? Give specific support as to why/why not.
    1. Yes, I think I have strong composition. In image 1, the rail frames the subject really well and I also like how it looks like she is "spilling" out of it. In image 2, although the "frame" does not have all four sides, it still causes the audience to focus in on the subject because it is framed by two fixtures. In image 3, the leaves and branches of different depths, and the web itself frame the spider. In image 4, the steps frame the subject that sits in the middle.
  2. What would I do differently if I shot this assignment again?
    1. If I were to do the assignment again, I would re shoot the third and last. I feel like (for the third one) that I could have found a better angle for more framing. For the last one, I would have the subject maybe step down one step so they are in the very middle of the steps (so that there is red all around her).
  3. Do you think your photo(s) should be considered as one of the best from your classmates? Why or why not?
    1. No, I would not consider my photos the best of my classmates because there is a lot of room for improvements and more creativity.

Assignment #5: Texture 101

My Photos:  Technical: Exposure- 1/320 sec    F Stop: f/8  ISO: 800 Technical: Exposure:1/320 sec     F Stop: f/8   ISO: 100 Technical: Exposure: 1/320 sec    F Stop: f/8  ISO: 800 Technical: Exposure: 1/320 sec    F Stop: f/8  ISO: 100 Online:  by, Scott A. McDaniel I like this photo because I can see all the ice on the chain- from the tiny ball-looking ones to the sharp icicle looking ones. The clarity of the chain and ice looks really good and pleasing to the eye against the green, blurry background. I also like the light and brightness of this photo.

Assignment #24: TED Talk

David Griffin Brief Summary:            David Griffin, the photo director of National Geographic, gave a TED talk that touches on looking at photography in a new way. He covered different the different situations and conditions that other accomplished photographers have captured. Some of these included slums, underwater, people, animals, etc. One interesting point he said was that "Everyone has at least one or two great photographs in them." He spoke about the stories around the world that were told through photos. Through his TED talk, Griffin showed the world the different ways to look at photography.             Thoughts:          I think this is one of the most interesting and engaging TED talks I have ever watched. David Griffin is a cool guy. I feel like he touched all the points of his shpeel with grace and good flow. My favorite part (which is probably everyone else's as ...
