SIMPLICITY

In this photo it catches you're attention because if you look really really close you can see people in the building some even jumping out the building its really shocking to see somethinng like this its increbile the this day even happened.

RULE OF THIRD

This picture is an example of 'The Rule Of Third" because if you imagine to divide
your picture area into thirds both horizontally and vertically,
you will see our subject

LINES

The lines on the buidling are just one thing in this photo like the man falling what an intersting picture but straight lines. Doesn't even look like a building really though.

BALANCE

The Balance in this photo is something else from black to white it has great balance if you ask me. This picture is really worth a thousand words. Great balance!

FRAMING

the framing in this picture is good if you closely it looks like the boy in the photo is going to hit the ball toward you. I think this photo has great framing.

AVIODING MERGES

The buildings in the background are to much some people might not know what the photographer was really taking a picture of.  Theirs so many things happening even the plane seconds before making contact.

ELEMENTS OF ART

 Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.
The lines was just a simple picture which was easy to decide.

Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.

I choose these images because we can see a lot of triangles.

Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.
Color in many ways but the like the bottom one because it looks pretty cool.

Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.  Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.

I choose these pics because the contrast is very clear and we can see the change of the values, light grey, grey, dark grey, light black...

Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

This picture shows 3d and shading in the background.

The bee is such a good picture it look like its on my screen or something.  

 Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.  Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.

What has more texture then a brick wall? Nuff said

Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or  negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. 

Watching the sky set to dark is quiet amazing.

The Principles of Design

Balance is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art.  There are three different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. The human figure is symmetrically balanced; the same on the left and right side. The tree is asymmetrically balanced; its branches are not distributed equally on each side, but their total weight is balanced left and right. The sun is an example of radial balance; all its rays are equal in length from the center.

Contrast is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas. It is used to make a painting look interesting.

Emphasis in the focal area of an artwork gives it 

importance.  An artist may stress some elements of the design over others. The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition.

 

  Movement in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area.  Movement is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position.  Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with the placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.

Patterns are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.  Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.

Rhythm is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms.  Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly.  Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.

Unity means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony.  Unity brings together a composition with similar units.  For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.

The Masters of Black an White Photography is the best. All the picture are cool and all but the one with the tree and clouds by far the best photographic photo.

And the ones with the girl in class "Stephanie" are good to, i did find the background to be distracting and the one thats actually focused on her is great to.

One thing that could be improved would probably the information your giving is a lot to read although it might be important try to edit and make it shorter.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

In this article the photo has been altered and theres a missile added that was never their the began with. they photoshopped the picture to make it look more terrifying and threatening. I think its acceptable because everything is a lie anyways in these magazine and web site they just make them more interscting to get people to buy there product.

This photo isn't a real picture and even after photoshopped nothing was done to it. This is the original photo and after the edit the light in making the picture brighter and more clearer. 

National Geographic Warm-up

This photo is pretty awesome just everything about is pretty cool and intense it makes you feel like you could be standing right there with it its crazy picture. much credit to the photographer that shot this photo props.

A tree would represent life in mean ways like a human like  trees get old and so do we till they die.

This man in front of four tanks isn't just because he's dangerous but it is for a good cause. He's fighting for something and the way this photo is taking the its really rare and exciting and shocking all in one.

After being four days missing is really shocking to hear that this four month baby went missing during a tsunami is amazing that this poor child went threw all this and at the end of it is found safe and all good condition. 

  

At this time was one of the greatest photos this photo was taking right after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. And Lyndon Johnson takes the oath to be president. With John F. Kennedy wife right now to him.

"Camera Parts"

Aperture- An opening, hole, or gap.

Shutter- A device that opens and closes to expose the film in a camera.

Exposure- Is the amount of light allowed to fall on each area unit of a photographic 

Depth of field- The distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give an image judged to be in focus in a camera.

F-stop- A camera setting corresponding to a particular f-number.

Focal length- The distance between the center of a lens or curved mirror and its focus.





Flash button - controls the flash on camera.

Power switch- turn on/ off on camera.

Red-eye reduction lamp/ Self timer - removes red eye and is also a timer 

Direct print button -  To work as a printer to produce printed material.

Magnify button- Make something appear larger than it is, esp. with a lens or microscope.


Setting Button- When using the view camera, the settings you adjust to control projection.

Camara History

1. Inside a completely dark room, a tiny hole is created in one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall.

2. Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.

3. Niepce added film to the camera. 

4. Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film.

5. Replacing old-fashioned plastic film, digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD.

6. The fully automatic (A)uto or (P)rogram mode is the default for most modern cameras. The photographer can simply aim, press the button, and almost be guaranteed a great image.

7. To attempt to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting.

8. To freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.

9. Faster camera response time, more control over focus, encourages better composition.

10. NO FLASH!!!

11. Auto flash.

12. Too much light and the picture will be washed out. 

13.Not enough light and the picture will be too dark.

14. Is used in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change in the brightness of light.

15.  2 stops brighter

16. 2 stops brighter 

17. More Light 

18. Less Light. 

19. The aperture is like a pupil.

20. Determines how long the shutter stays open. Longer exposure the more light.

Masters of Black and White Photography.

 

Edward Weston (March 24, 1886 - January 1, 1958) was an American photographer he received his first camera for his sixteenth birthday. Kodak Bull's-Eye and his photographs were already being exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute merely a year later, in 1903. Weston worked mainly with nudes and still life and landscape subjects.

Walker Evans (November 3, 1903 – April 10, 1975) was an American photographer best known for his work for the Farm Security Administration documenting the effects of the Great Depression.

In some ways Evans is perhaps the first and greatest of those photographers of the American social landscape.

William Eugene Smith (1918-1978) was an American photojournalist known for his refusal to compromise professional standards and his brutally vivid World War II photographs.

Smith began his career by taking pictures for two local newspapers Eagle and the Beacon.

First Photos ---- Best and Worst

The lighting in this photo is great making it a great picture. And she doesn't look to bad smiling and everything. The equality of the photo is good making it a awesome picture.

 Not only she wasn't looking the but picture is pretty dark making it hard to see. She looks like she didn't want to take the picture. but other then the lighting and not looking this would be the worst picture.
