Funny Captions -Hoesay

 Betty and Jackson are burning rubber, what about you? Everyone else headed to their destination by foot to the Olympic Games. Try racing them next time you see them.

 Susan and her husband Ronald deciding to give youngsters some life advice about how bad they had it back in the day. We shouldn't take things like iPhones and Androids for granted and should enjoy the moment we have it.

With plenty of years alive, lighting one up and losing 15 minutes from Anne's life doesn't seem to bother her too much. Probably enjoyed 4/20 and wouldn't mind being born that day.

Great Black and White Photographers Part 3 -Hoesay

Mural Part:

 I think using our phones will be fun to do since we don't have all the fancy features that professional cameras have. It'd push us to get better lighting and angles, however, it'd have to be simple stuff. We wouldn't be able to get birds in high definition flying from one tree to another. Putting the murals around the part where the hallways divide, the little void between one side of the hallway and the other would be creative. They'd look like curtains almost.

Great Black and White Photographers:

1. What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? Post the images with your writing.


This photo caught my image because in my opinion it's ahead of its time. This was taken during the early 40's. Much of photography was still undiscovered and this kind of style wasn't really present with the works of other photographers during his era.





Along with this one is how he was able to blur everything else in the background. The title claims that the car was parked, however, creating the blur in the background makes it seem as though the car is actually moving. Something that really caught my attention.






2. Look at those 2 photos you posted last tie in the assignment Great Black and White Photographers Part 2. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos.
- In both photos there was a lot of noise, along with movement. I have to approach both shoots properly and get the perfect angle or else it won't be perfect. If these come out perfect I'm going to change the world of photography, I know I will.

3. I think a powerpoint would really be helpful with showing people I'm a decent photographer. Especially if I work alone I know I can come up with something really creative. It'd be on my own theme and I could manipulate it however I want to.

Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique -Hoesay

What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? Trying to think outside of the box and provide pictures that although didn't have academics clearly. Thinking abstractly will reveal the message behind it. 

What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly. I figured most people would do the mainstream pictures of a clear academic subject without embedding the subject within the picture. A picture is worth a thousand words. 

If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? Ask my teachers ahead of time if I could go into their class and provide mainstream photos. 

What things would you do the same? Continue to think outside the box. 

When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve? Simplicity 

Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture? Rule of thirds 

What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is? I think I understand all the rules properly and know how to execute them.

Academic Post Shoot Reflection and Peer Reflection -Hoesay

I followed the rule of framing, by literally taking a picture of a drawing that was already framed. The subject is also clear as to what I wanted the main focus to be. 

Rule of simplicity. My subject was clear, although it doesn't express academic clearly, I tried making it to where although it wasn't a direct picture of students working on something each of the signs had something to do with academics. Class room locations, portables, Fine Arts, etc. 

Simplicity, again my subject is clear and it shows academic activities after school. If I could re-take this picture I'd rather do it following the principle of the Rule of Thirds. 

Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO -Hoesay

Aperture 

Aperture Setting F2.8

Aperture Setting F 16

1. Our eyes themselves work similar to a camera. Pupils will get bigger which allows more light in and vice versa they shrink.
2. The smaller the aperture, the larger the f-number. The larger the aperture the smaller the f-number.
3. The size of the aperture affects the background more importantly. It can make the foreground in focus and completely blur the background and not allow anything in the back to distract the viewer from the foreground. Vice versa, it can still focus clearly on the foreground but it'd leave some details in the background still visible and can distract the viewer from the foreground.

Shutter Speed

Slow Shutter Speed that could've been taken with a high shutter speed

ISO 

1. What are the advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?
 Even though the lighting isn't too great the camera can still work with the dim lighting and although the picture might appear grainy it'll still produce an image. 
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
Always use it in order to have the highest definition and retain the most detail. 
3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
 Only increase it when there's little light in order to freeze motion. 

Academic Shoot Preview -Hoesay

The Story

An experiment is being conducted by students about water and how it reacts with certain chemicals. The two girls are surprised with their finished product as it just bursts into the air and I'm guessing gives them the result they were investigating for. Water molecules are all over the place, some have landed on the table all ready and some are still airborne.

Action and Emotion

Once again another experiment is being conducted by students. The product being produced is similar to that of dry ice and is spreading across the entire table getting ready to pour over down to the floor. All of the students are amazed by what's happening right in front of them as the fog itself goes over their hands without hurting them in the slightest.

Filling the Frame

A picture of feeding the homeless the entire frame is full of students giving homeless people food and other materials. The angle in which it was taken shows the line of students one after another just giving back to the community and showing nothing but love; from one human to human. Filling the frame not only with pixels, but with a message, give back.

Favorite Photo

My favorite photo is of two girls that are on their school campus picking up trash. Being an environment lover I really like how they have a day where students go out and not only make their campus cleaner but help the earth as well. By the looks of the background most of the area where both of them are at don't seem to be that dirty anymore. Implying that maybe they were working for quite sometime when the photo was taken and it was getting close to being done. Another thing, the angle in which the photo was taken was really low to the ground, maybe to add some effect, making it seem as though the photo was taken by the ground itself.

Questions:
1) I chose this photo because it had good organization and there wasn't anything distracting from the subject at hand. It was simple and created a story.
2) The rule of this photo was simplicity, it had an obvious subject and nothing complex about it.
3) Probably in an art room or a science room
4) I want to try and think outside the box and show academics without having to go into a classroom, it'd be challenging and allow for some creativity to take over in my head.
5) Look for angles to make photos more interesting.
