Semester Final Exam part 2 and 3

"The Man on Fire" is another monk protest, people are appalled as they see a man running and screaming while caught on fire. They know its part of his protest, but catching yourself on fire to show your point is just a bit unordinary, don't you think?  

A drug dealer is caught by police officers outside his home. While he tries to flee, holding a gun in his hand ready to shoot at the officers, the police men defend themselves and kill the man.  

After a flooding, a rhino is being rescued and transported somewhere safe. A helicopter carries this creature to a animal shelter where he will be examined and later return to a safe habitat.

Part 3 

Rain
This picture shows a good example of balance, because the picture is in all black and white , it also involves lines that lead to the main point in the picture. the person is not the only main focus in the picture, because the rain in the center also draws a lot of attention, balancing the whole picture. 

The Olympics 

this picture shows a great example of point of view,  if the photographer was not standing in that spot when he took the picture, it wouldn't have come out the same. the moon looks as if it is a sixth ring at the bottom. point of view is a technique in photography where you stand in a certain place showing how it is that that picture appears to be different than if you were standing and facing another direction.

Splits
This picture shows a great example of simplicity, because although it involves action, there is not much going on in the picture, the girl is the only point of focus and the background is balanced with itself. 

Royal Soldier

this picture shows a great example of rule of thirds because the soldier is sectioned off to a certain part of the picture. rule of thirds is also a technique in photography, but here, the picture is sectioned off into 9 equally sized squares, two horizontal lines and two vertical lines, if the main point of the image falls in one of those lines, then the photographer was using rule of thirds. also, the photographer helped making the soldier the main part of the picture by having the background blurry, making the soldier the main point of focus.

Three Pillars of Exposure

Aperture F2.8

aperture F16

what part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
our eyes
the smaller the Aperture __the larger the f-stop__, the higher the Aperture ____the smaller the f-stop____.
if the aperture is small, the picture will come out evenly focused. if the aperture is large, the background will be blurry and the foreground will be the only point of focus

shutter 

high shutter speed:

low shutter speed: 

reasonable light 

• a.) the dunking booth- high shutter speed
• b.) the food eating contest- low shutter speed
• c.) the rock climbing wall- low shutter speed
• d.) someone working at a booth- low shutter speed
• e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- low shutter speed
• f.) the Diamonds performance.- hugh shutter speed

dark 

• a.) the dunking booth- high
• b.) the food eating contest- low
• c.) the rock climbing wall- low
• d.) someone working at a booth- high
• e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- low
• f.) the Diamonds performance.- low 

other than shutter speed, our camera has three other functions. auto mode, aperture mode, and manual. 

how do they work?

auto- both shutter and aperture are set 

aperture- the camera goes to shutter speed

manual- both shutter speed and aperture are set manually 

ISO 

ISO 200 

ISO 6400

1. What are the advantages of shooting with a higher ISO setting at a sporting event like a night football game?

since it is too dark, setting a higher ISO setting will freeze the image

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?

to keep it low to add more detail to the pictures and a higher image quality

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?

its a good idea to use it when you need t get ultra-fast shots 

• F4 looks better at 1/125th of a second shutter speed.
• F5.6  looks better 1/60 of a second shutter seed
• F8 looks better 1/60 of a second shutter speed 
• F11 looks better 1/60 of a second shutter speed 
• F16 looks better 1/30 of a second shutter speed
• F22 looks better 1/15 of a second shutter speed

in F4 and F5.6, the background is blurry and only the couple is focused 

in F8, F11, F16, and F15 the background is a little bit more visible and the whole picture is darker
