Usual and interesting photos Part 1

Part 1

1. My reaction to his work was i liked what he did like he moved the pictures so you can see the like doubles and triple it was nice but i think he did it to much like all his pictures were like that it would be better if like a couple of them were like that.
2. I think he made those pictures by either talking photos of the same one but like in different dimensions and angles.
3. I would like him to take a picture like that of our capital and the eiffel tower those two buildings. I chose our capital its in Austin,Texas yes i could get easy access of the capital and the eiffel tower its in paris and no i could not get easy access to that building.

Nation Geographic photos and ethics in photography

This is my favorite photo because its cute. I absolute love how the photo came out the brightness and everything. I like the focus on like the wales and like the ice behind them is like blurry i like how came out i just love this picture.



this photo i would like to takes to submit to the photo contest because its pretty and it should deserve to win and i like how they took it and how it looks its just a really good photo.

Touching people

1. What i think about this project and photo essay was that it was kinda weird in a way but pretty cool cause i would want to know where would people touch other people if you tell them to touch something seems interesting.
2. I would say no at first with like a weird expression on my face but then i would tell them okay and ill touch somebody like on there face or arm but not in a weird way.
3. Umm i really don't know
4. The photography was good it was different not in a bad way it was interesting yea i liked looking at them well some where kinda weird how the like touch each other i mean there were strangers and they were touching each other like that was kinda weird but for the most picture there were interesting.

Birth: April 12, 1883 
Raised in Seattle, Washington
attended the university of washington in seattle
She was first majoring in chemistry but she but she was inspired by an encounter with the work of Gertrude Kasebier to take up photography again. 
with the help of her chemistry professor, Dr. Horace Byers, she began to study the chemistry behind photography.
After being graduated in 1907 Cunningham went to work for Edward S. Curtis in his Seattle studio gaining knowledge about the portrait business and practical photography.
She published: Portraiture,1997, On the Body, 1998

40 greatest photos taking

 Claude P. Dettloff:
 A line of soldiers march in British Columbia on their way to a waiting train as five-year-old Whitey Bernard tugs away from his mother's hand to reach out for his father.
I picked this photo because i like how all the soldiers are lined up and how thy took the photo i liked how the little kid was reaching for his dad like he didn't want his dad to leave it was taken right and in a good time. I think it made the cut of top 40 photos ever because kids feel like this when there dads are leaving and its just a good photo overall. 


Yomiuri Shimbun
 A 4-month-old baby girl in a pink bear suit is miraculously rescued from the rubble by soldiers after four days missing following the Japanese tsunami.
I picked this photo because i liked its a lot i liked how they took it, the brightness of the picture and just how he took the picture its meant something. I think this photo made it on the cut of top 40 photos ever because it was an interesting photo and it had meaning to this photo.


Vanderlei Almeida: 
A dog named "Leao" sits for a second consecutive day at the grave of her owner, who died in the disastrous landslide near Rio de Janiero on January 15,2011. I really like how he took this picture it was my favorite. I liked how he didn't zoom in all the way i liked how he got everything in the picture. I liked how the set up the photo. I think this photo made it on the cut 40 photos ever because it was a really good photo it had a good concept.

Camera history and information

1. The camera obscura it was the first camera the hole acted like a lens, focusing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark chamber.
2. When isaac newton and christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making quality glass lenses.
3. For the first modern camera Niepce invented a glass lens, a dark box, and film.
4. modern digital cameras have in common with the one that Niepce invented is that the light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film.
5.The digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD.
6. the difference between the auto mode and the program mode is that program automatic-assist, just point and shoot unlike full auto mode, you can usually control flash and a few other camera settings.
7. The portrait is use to attempt to blur out the background, the camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting(aperture).
8. The Sports mode is use to freeze motion , camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.
9. You should do a half press on the trigger button because the faster camera response time, more control over focus and encourages better composition.
10. this is the auto flash you would use this if the camera thinks it needs more light.
11. this is the disabled flash you would use it when you don't need the flash when you think the picture is good without the flash.
12. If you have too much light then the picture will be washed out.
13. If you don't have enough light then the picture will be too dark.
14. A "stop" is used in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change int the brightness of light.
15. There would be 1 stop brighter if the new planet had two sons instead of one.
16. There would be 2 stops brighter if the new planet had four sons instead of two.
17. The affect of a longer shutter speed would have more light.
18. The affect of a shorter shutter speed would have less light.
19. The aperture control is like a pupil you can control the aperture by setting the "Aperture Opening", also know as a F-stop.
20. Smaller F-stop numbers means larger openings and the larger openings mean more light, so you can increase the light by the longer exposures.
  

The camera

Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.
A Digital single-lens reflex cameras digital cameras combining the parts of a single-lens reflex camera (SLR) and a digital camera back, replacing the photographic film.

A pellicle mirror is an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight semi-transparent mirror employed in the light path of an optical instrument, splitting the light beam into two separate beams, both of reduced light intensity. 


A pentaprism is a five-sided reflecting prism used to deviate a beam of light by a constant 90°, even if the entry beam is not at 90° to the prism.

aperture- the aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane. 
shutter- is a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light-sensitive electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene.
exposure-is the amount of light allowed to fall on each area unit of a photographic medium (photographic film or image sensor) during the process of taking a photograph.
depth of field-is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image. 
F-stop - number is a ratio of the focal length of the lens to the diameter of the aperture.
focal length- an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.

Great black and white photographers



Harry Callahan- chicago 1950


Imogen Cunningham- Magnolia Blossom 1925


Alvin langdon coburn- St Paul's Cathedral from Ludgate Circus

Best and worst photo's

I picked this picture out of all of the pictures that i took because she's looking at the camera. I liked the angle of the picture and how i took it. Her smiling and looking directly at the camera made the photo looked better. How she was posing or standing made the photo look good.


I liked this photo the least because she wasn't looking she was closing her eyes. I didn't like this photo because she's not smiling. I caught her of guard thats why she looks like that. I didn't like it because she wasn't even posing and she was doing nothing just closing her eyes.
