Balance

You could split this down the middle and it would still be to different photos

Avoiding Mergers

This image is a good example of Avoiding Mergers because the distance from the both builds help to show that are different objects

Rule of Thirds


This photo the element Rule of Thirds because the main focus is not in the center but off to the bottom on the image

Framing

This is a nice example of framing cause the building act like a frame for the middle of it

Simplicity

The main focus of this picture would be the faces of the people and how they look seeing there friends and family on the wall

line

This is a nice example of line because it is straight line going on and on fading in the back before ending.

Great black and white photographers, PART 2.

exposure-To expose too long or too much

depth of field- the range of distance in front of and behind an object focused by an optical instrument, such as a camera or microscope, within which other objects will also appear clear and sharply defined in the resulting image Compare

Camera History

1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved?
Inside a completely dark  room, a tiny hole is created one wall. through the hole light is 
focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall.

2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera?
When Isaac Newton and Christian perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.

3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce?
A glass lens, a dark box, and film.

4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera?
Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. And guess what? The end result is still a photograph.

5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image?
Digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD.

6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode?
On program You can control flash and a few other setting, while Auto controls all settings.


7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work?
To focus on 1 main object, It blurs out the back ground.

8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work?
To get fast moving object's using the highest shutter speed possible.

9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?
Take time to explore the composition of the scene. Wait for focus lock. While focusing, the camera will show a blinking focus indicator (usually a green dot).

10. What does this symbol mean?
No flash, There are many cases where you may not want flash at all. The mood of the photograph can sometimes be more dramatic when the natural light is used.

11.What does this symbol mean?
In most camera modes, Auto-flash is enabled by default and will automatically fire if the camera thinks it needs more light.


12. What happens to your photo if there is too much light?
Too much light and the picture will be washed out.

13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light?
Not enough light and the picture will be too dark.


14. What is a “stop.”
The term "stop" is used in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change in the brightness of light.

15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two sons instead of one?
There would be 1 stop.

16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four sons instead of two?
There would be 2 stops.

17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have?
Longer shutter speeds = more light.

18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?
shorter shutter speeds = less light.

19. What does the aperture control?
he aperture is like a pupil. You can control the aperture by setting the "Aperture Opening", also known as an F-Stop.

20. When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light?
Smaller F-stops numbers = larger openings
larger openings = more light

Best and worst photos

Best Photo
Worst Photo

This is a good picture because it is simple but show's his full emotion. It has a nicely token photo by the photographer. The second photo was the worst because you can not see the subjects face.
