Hurricane Ike

Symmetry and patterns. The first photo I chose, I liked it because of all the random clutter, the picture is very clear. I really like how the red chairs just pop out compared to the rest of the photo, and honestly I really love just that 1 tiger in the photo. I think the photo looks better now then it did before the hurricane.

 Framing. The second photo I like cause it shows how bad the hurricane hit. You can really see all the damage done.

 

 The third I like how is shows so much in the photo and you can see how high the water got. You can see the whole town, it looks so dirty but you can tell things are slowly getting better. Create Depth.

Robert Doisneau

Doisneau was born 1912. He is France's most noted and famous photographers. What makes him so famous is his unsuposing and playful images of everyday french life. Doisneau published over 20 books consisting of realistic quiet images of usually personal moments between everyday people in France. He was exposed to photography from Advertising Department of a Pharmaceutical Firm. He taught himself the way around the camera. He looked at it as a hobby. He would wander down the streets of Paris and take photos of what he thought was unexpecting, spontaneous, and exciting people or things he would come across. He wrote "The marvels of daily life are exciting; no movie director can arrange the unexpected that you find in the street." He started talking photos of just object themselves in 1930 and in 1932 he sold his first photo-story to the Excelsior newspaper. During World War || not only was he a solider in the war but he was also a photographer of the war as well. Some of his best work was known as his picture of  small children and how they interact with each other. Doisneau won the Prix Niepce award in 1956. In 1973 acted in a short film as a consultant to Expo '67, Canada. His later years he spent to himself, just like his photos he was a very shy away man just observing peoples way of life he was a very unassuming man, but a very talented one at that and loved by many. He past way in 1994, but his photos still live on.

Pinhole Final

1. Well for one, ones a negative and ones a positive.
2. There is a lot more gray in the positive picture then I expected
3. The positive is more clear.

Negative- noting an image in which the brightness values of the subject are reproduced so that the lightest areas are shown as the darkest.

It looks different because the negative has no detail to it, you can't see everything exact. PLus we had to put it threw all those chemicals to make the picture clear.

Composition 9/11

Simplicity

The photo demonstrates Simplicity because it background is really simple but you also get the idea of whats going on. Plus you can see how dramatic the scene is, coming from the look (sorrow and worry) on the women's face.

Rule of Thirds

 This photo demonstrates Rule of Thirds because it shows the Twin Towers in the corner of the picture so you can see the rest of the image and get a feeling of what was happening before the tragedy of 9/11.

Lines

 This photo demonstrates Lines because well its pretty obvious that there are a great deal of different kinds on lines in the photo. Plus the man free falling really brings excitement to the photo.

Balance

 This photo demonstrates balance because the photographer chose a great angle to shoot. All the buildings (form shapes) and they are all close yet spread out,

Framing

 I think this picture shows framing because well for one there really is a frame around the 3 images and 2 because it focuses the subject (big picture) in the middle the the photo itself.

Avoiding Mergers

This picture focuses on the people and they're excitement from 9/11 and the background doesn't have much going on so you can really and truly understand whats going on in the photo.

 

Great Black and White Photographers.

The Camera.

Aperture-a usually circular and often variable opening in an optical instrument or device that controls the quantity of radiation entering or leaving it

Shutter-a mechanical device for opening and closing the aperture of a camera lens to expose film or the like.

Exposure-the act of presenting a photosensitive surface to rays of light.The total amount of light received by a photosensitive surface or an area of such a surface, expressed as the product of the degree of illumination and the period of illumination. The image resulting from the effects of light rays on a photosensitive surface.

Depth of field-the range of distances along the axis of an optical instrument, usually a camera lens, through which an object will produce a relatively distinct image.

F-stop-the setting of an adjustable lens aperture, as indicated by an f number.

Focal length-the distance from a focal point of a lens or mirror to the corresponding principal plane.

My Words

Visible Spectrum-the range of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that is normally visible, from 380 to 760 nm.

 Electromagnetic Spectrum-the entire spectrum, considered as a continuum, of all kinds of electric, magnetic, and visible radiation, from gamma rays having a wavelength of 0.001 angstrom to long waves having a wavelength of more than 1 million km.

Etymology-the study of historical linguistic change, esp. as manifested in individual words.

Iris-the contractile, circular diaphragm forming the colored portion of the eye and containing a circular opening, the pupil, in its center.

Pinhole Camera Images.

I absolutely love this photo 100% It's so beautiful in every way. I love how the buildings are dark but the sky is so bright and full of color. The picture is so clear and the quality is fantastic. I also really like how the light reflected off the building and made sort of a rainbow color and fades off at the bottom of the photo. I really like the blurriness in the corners of the photo. It looks like this was take in the morning as the sun is coming up. I was think more of a early 7 o'clock feeling. Therefore I really enjoyed this photo.

This photo really confused me, I was searching for photos I didn't like and I was having a hard time coming across one and then I found this. I'm not saying I completely hate it. It just gives me a depressing feeling. Like I don't know what to think about it. There isn't much color and I know its not supposed to its just something about this that I don't like. Its not the quality or color or anything I just gives me a depressing ugly feeling. Plus I'm having a hard time trying to make out the object in the right hand corner. Overall this photo makes me think  of a huge storm that whipped out everything in its path.
