Fixed Photo Shoot Post Shoot Reflection

1. What did you learn about the camera when you took these photos?
What i learned about the camera when i took this photos was that the photos came out blurry when i had took them and at first the first two pics with the ISO 100 came out blurry but light, and the rest that i took when i took them at a time would get darker and darker.


Look at the photos you took, they are located here:
Jstudents > (your period) > TRIAL PRACTICE SHOOT > (folder with your name on it).
Make sure you view the photos as Extra Large Icons to see them fully.


2. What do you notice about all the photos and the way they look?
What i notice about all the photos that i took is that they are dark and blurry.

3. Can you tell the difference between each ISO? Explain how.
Yes i can tell the difference between each of the ISO is because ISO 100 came out dark and somewhat blurry and not focused, and after that the 6400 ISO was bright and not focused at all so as it went down from 100 it started getting lighter and not focused.

4. What does this tell you about ISOs and what it does when you change it when you take pictures.
It tells me that ISO is the focus and brightness of the photo, and when i changed it when i take pictures it shows the brightness and lighting of the photo.

5. What about focus? Can you see a difference in the photos? Tell me what differences and similarities you see.
What i see about the focus is that at ISO 100 the focus is not so focused but you can see whats in the photo, and as you go to a bigger number of ISO its not focused and its really blurred.


6. Post the best photo you took on your blog. Make sure to label the following things: ISO, Shutter Speed, F-stop, Distance, Focal Length, Lighting.
 ISO-100
SHUTTER-1/15 SEC
SPEED-1/15 SEC
F-STOP-F 4.5
DISTANCE-
FOCAL LENGTH-
LIGHTING-

7. What do you need to concentrate on when you go out to shoot next time when you have to shoot in Manual setting?
Next time i need to concentrate on the focus of the photo and the lighting.

Great Black and White Photographers part 3

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?
What caught my attention on my photos was the angles of the photos, and how old in the back days that the photos were tooken. What also caught my attention was the setting of the photos, they look really chilled and like a normal simple life photos.

2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog.

  • I see a cloudy, fall day on the photo where the tree is not bloomed and the house is in the back.
  • I smell dirt, and trees in the 2nd and 1st photos and maybe like paper for the one with the women that is walking out of a company or store.
  • I hear people talking in groups on my first photo on the second one i hear a quiet neighborhood maybe birds chirping, and on the last photo with the man walking in and the women walking out i hear people in a office of store talking to each other.
  • I taste-
  • I feel- a breeze in all the photos, and i feel like its also fall in the photos because of the way the sky is and the brightness thats in the photos.

3.) Finally, what would you like to create to show the world your great photographer. Ideas include, posters, power points, a blog, etc. You tell me what you would like to create so we can come up with a plan to share your thoughts and ideas about your photographer with your classmates and with the rest of the school.
  • To show the school or my class mates id like to make a powerpoint with his life story and a biography about him, and whats his done in life and what led him up to a good photographer.
