Web quest Reflection

For this project what I learned about this was that I know know how to take clear pictures about certain subjects and I also learned how to make the composition good and have clear and bright lighting. I learned that for rule of thirds its interesting to put the subject in the corner of the picture or off to the side. I realized and learned that the best background is a clear and plain one too. I also learned that the picture would look rather interesting and cool if you use different angles vantage points. I also learned that Action shots are better if there is space for the subject to go.

Surreal photography

• What is the most important aspect when creating his work?

The most important aspect when creating his work Perspective and Lighting. and another important aspect when creating his work is making images appear real. 

• What do you find interesting about his work? 

• What I found most interesting is how he's able to blend the individual images. He is able to make images look real and fake at the same time.

    2• Which shot shows the best use of the elements of art?
    3• What principles of design are used in your favorite image?

1. my favorite shot is the shape with pattern that is photoshopped because it has a weird form to it and it looks cool.
2. The texture with line because you can see the shape, line, color and space.
3. in my favorite picture the principles of design that were used were unity, proportion, emphasis and rhythm.
4. my favorite image and filter is the abstracted because its blurry but the color looks amazing

HDR PHOTOGRAPHY

In photography HDR is high dynamic range. this means that the camera will process photos slightly differently than normal in order to capture greater detail from bright and dark areas in your photo. 

#1: You can take a light, a dark and a medium photo and plug them into the software. 
#2: You can take a picture with the iPhone 6 or take an HDR picture with a camera that has that feature. In this picture I am impressed because the lighting looks cool and also the way the top of the stairs looks like you're entering a new world.

Exploring landscapes

burning edges
1. Did you use the rule of thirds? What did you emphasize with it sky or land?

I did use rule of thirds, i emphasized the sky because its darker now. (Burning edges images)
2. What Principles of design did you use and how?

 I used emphasis, proportion, variety, unity
emphasis: I emphasized the library. 
Proportion: i tried to balance the light poles so they can be the same
Variety: The plants, library, light poles, and railings are the variety. 
Unity: the lights poles and the plants are the unity. 

• What time of day was your image taken? Was it a good time to shoot or not? Why?
It was about 1:35 pm it was a great shot because the lighting and balance are really good. 
How did you use the foreground/background relationship?
The things in the back ground are more in focus than the foreground because they are more in focus. 

Which method do you think produced the best result for you?
I think the best method was saturation because it looks really nice and the quality of the picture is elite. 
• Did you achieve a large value range for each image? If not, which methods worked the best?  
I didn't really get a good value range for each image because there really dark but have good quality. 

Close Landscape

1. It was pretty great since the shots seem really nice and creative.
2. My favorite picture is the one with the clearest angle which is clear.
3. The top picture shows the best rule of thirds.
4. Balance, unity, proportion and emphasis.

Cal high video questions

How can you view cal high differently?
you can plan a scene ahead to make cal high better and make it seem look interesting and well detailed

How could you photograph it differently to make it look exciting and interesting?
You can try to take a bunch of pictures with different perspectives and angles to get a good picture.

Cinemagraph

1. Our teams concept was too have Bryan sitting completely still, have the bubbles coming out of bryans mouth. We were successful because we met the goals we set out and it looks good.

2. I was in the photographic portion of the process because i took the video of bryan blowing the bubbles.

3. I would've made it more clear so it doesn't look so pixelated and i would do bryan drinking water while holding the peace sign out
4. nothing the project was pretty simple.
5. Everyone worked great and the work was divided up evenly.

Photographing water

1.it was hard to get a good picture because it was hard to focus on the water dropping and the lighting was hard to get right.
2. I didn't like how difficult it was to get the right light because it was challenging.
colored water no flash
F8 shutter speed: 1/500s Iso: 3200


shoot water with flash.
1. This was the easiest shot to get a good picture because it was easy to focus and not too hard to take the picture.
2. I like that this angle with the camera was easy to focus and get a good shot.
F8 shutter speed: 1/500s Iso: 1600




shooting water in burst mode
1.it was time consuming because it was to hard to wait and be patient to get a good shot because it was hard to focus.
2. i didn't like how we needed more light to get the good picture because it was hard to focus and get the right angle.

burst mode colored water
1. it was hard to find the perfect angle for the picture because the lighting was hard to achieve
2. our team tried many angles to get a great shot and it seemed to work.

1. The car doesn't look real because the car doesn't look like its moving.

Step and Strike (6 frame story)

1. The camera that I used was my phone because it was the easiest to use because i just held down the camera button and it took about 25 pictures in about 4 seconds.
2. My favorite picture is the last one because you can see Bryan's emotion of the game and the course of the action is done. This is also my favorite picture because Bryan's face looks really funny.
3. You can find cool moments in pictures and they show a lot of interesting things of how things are done throughout the process of the action.


Description: Trevor and Bryan were in there stances getting ready to snap down, as they snap down they're getting ready to hear the cadence and they are getting ready to fire out to step and strike. As they hear the cadence they fire out meaning they take a step or 2 to extend there arms to hit there target which in this case is the air.
