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.
