Macro Photography

Image
Macro Photography is when you take a picture of something that is supposed to be small but you make it look bigger.  List 3 things to keep in mind when shooting macro photography make sure that the focus is on the object that is closest to you to make it look clear  Make it so that the background behind the object so that the focus of the picture is the object closest to you you have to get close to your object so it can get the details of the photo like a leaf and all of its texture List 10  other  subjects you want to explore using macro photography.   Flowers Bugs Grass Screens Clothing paper rocks Metal rubber Eyes They took this photograph by getting extremely close to a leaf that had water on it and focused on the water droplets. I took a close up picture of my eye to show he lines and details in the iris, it is focused on the eye, there is not much background but there is a lot of depth and it is well lit  ...

Action photography

Image
Does the action photo show faces/emotion? it freezes the moment Does it show the ball/equipment being used?yes it doesn't it shows what they are doing and gives context to the photo Does it show people moving or do they just look like they are standing around? moving Does it have good lighting? it is very well lit Is it cropped to help focus on the subject in motion? yes Is it focused or is it very blurry?  (For this project, some blur can be ok! Especially the if it's the object in motion!) very focused Was the  panning technique  used?  no Keep the subject as the focal point anticipate whats going to happen adjust your camera to ensure it is clear put on burst mode follow your subject One of the strengths in my action photo was getting them in the middle of an action One of the challenges for my action photo was getting a photo that wasn't wildly blurry In the future, I would overcome the above challenge by bring my stupid camera instead of...

Landscape Cityscape continued

Image
Where did you go to capture this photo?  put the phone sideways and got the sunset on the pier What was your focal point? the person as well as the sky What time of day?  7:50 From what angle?  a straight on What was the weather? Clear Did you use panoramic mode? No  Why or why not? because I did not think of it and it wouldn't have looked as good Where/How did you utilize leading lines/rule of thirds/blue hour/golden hour/etc?  The person is placed on the middle line in the photo, so the person is right in the center of the photo. Unfortunately I did not go to the city for spring break so this is a picture from march when I was at the wrestling state finals Where did you go to capture this photo?  I tried to get the lamppost and the sign  into the picture the best I could. What was your focal point? The stadium What time of day?  10 am From what angle?  Straight on What was the weather? Clear Did you use panor...

Panorama

Image
1. Stay as steady as possible in order to get the most stable result 2. Use a more raw image image. Usually panoramic pictures are of nature so don't use as many filters or adjust the image as much. 3. Make sure you can pick your focal point properly and then position the rest of the picture around that point. 4. Overlap the different parts of your picture properly so that your shot looks fluid and smooth. 5. Balance natural colors properly. This is a clone picture of Josh that i used the trees to make it symmetrical and it looks very good, looks like something straight out of a movie. To get this shot I had josh stand in one place then run behind me to a different place which gave it a cloning effect. The hardest part about this shot was the shadows which made him not visible so it took a few tries.  This is a sloppy photo but it raises junior up, it did not take long i moved the camera up to move it up  same as above This is a normal panoramic of the sc...

Landscape Cityscape

Image
What is the difference between Landscape and Cityscape photography?  Landscape is of land and tress, mountains, lakes, Cityscape is of the city, like a skyline What is panorama/panoramic photography? the camera stitches together a group of photos to make it into one photo What is the Golden Hour?   What is the Blue Hour? I chose this  picture  because I have always wanted to see the Northern lights. Time of day/night - Night Angle of shot -  Towards the sky Weather - It is clear out Panoramic mode - it would have to be horizontal to include all of the trees and the northern lights I love the Pittsburgh  skyline Time of day/night - Night Angle of shot - it is downward towards the city with the bridges serving as the leading lines Weather - Clear Panoramic mode - it is horizontal to get all of the skyline into the picture LANDSCAPE Where are you going to go? Backyard or wherever I go for spring break What will be your focal ...

Foreground, Middle Ground, Background

Image
You will see in my background... a blue sky with a orange sky You will see in my middle ground...trees that don't have tops to them You will see in my foreground... a goose drinking from water The most challenging part of this assignment was I could not find any freaking images that matched the rest....and I overcame it by doing my best to match the colors with the rest The strongest area of my project is the building of the image which was challenging because it was hard to make it all look united I was good at building the image because i'm a crafty kind of guy.

Abstract Photography

Image
The photographer took this picture by getting very close to a dollar bill so that we can just see an eye and the paper and if it weren't for the green and the nose i would not have been able to tell what it was or where it was from. Helpful Hints 1. Zoom in a lot on an object with a simple design. It'll most likely look strange and abstract. 2.Shoot through another object to create distortions. 3.Flashes in a dark room are an easy way to get a shadow that looks abstract. 4.Lines and curves create simple patterns found in abstract photography. 5.Texture and patterns along with lines and curves can further provide designs found in abstract photos. Wavy Color The dangers of soap, food coloring and milk My favorite of the two is the wavy color one because the colors are bright but there are lines and circles cutting through it and its honestly confusing, taking an up close picture makes it more abstract due to the absence of context clues and other hints...

Leading Lines

Image
Leading lines are a set of lines used by the photographer that direct the viewer through the photo. A photographer might use leading lines in an image to direct a viewer to certain points in that image Symmetry is when the image is the same on both sides, a mirror image the photographer use the road and landscape to lead up to the vanishing point in this photo I used the rails to lead up to Emily in this photo What did you do to shoot your photo?  I used the railing to lead up to emily What did you use as your leading lines to draw the viewers attention to a focal point? The railing  Who is your focal point?   Emily Is your composition symmetrically balanced?  No not exactly  What does this do to the composition?  It makes it look a little less professional
