Poetry and Your Photography

I chose these words to go with this image because they are lyrics from my current favorite song called “Let’s Go” By Calvin Harris. 

I think an audience would interpret my work by feeling calm and free.

SAFE TRAVELS 

I chose this image because it reminds me a woman with her hands resting under her chin. It also leaves you wondering if it could be a flower and that’s why I love Georgia O’ Keefe’s work.

CULTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY: READ AND RESPOND

This article is about how this man felt out of place while describing his photography and how he finally found that what he shoots fits under “Cultural Photography.” He says that when he searched it up “I found that culture did not mean just remote cultures. There is plenty of culture that exists within cities and densely populated places. The sort of exoticism that dominates photography of tribal cultures does not resonate with me.” 

The most interesting facts that I read about were that he was doing something new no one has really heard of and that he expanded the photography world and the ideas people can use when they’re shooting and basically shows that the ideas are endless. 

READ AND WRITE: PHOTOJOURNALISM

The job of a photojournalist is to tell a story by using pictures. Rov Haviv captures the event that happened about a year ago which was the raid of the Capitol. he tells this story by giving the reader background information, showing images of inside and outside the building, and what the people during the event were saying. All these things make the story that he is trying very clear. This event itself will go down in history as an impactful one. the event was triggered by the 2020 presidential election when Biden was elected. This event shows how divided the United States is.

CREATE A WORK IN THE STYLE OF  OF WASSILY KANDINSKY

I like this piece because it is interesting. There is a lot colors which contrast each other very well. The different colors also make it seem like there is texture in the piece and it also leaves you wondering what the piece is because you’re trying to figure out how everything works together while you’re trying to figure out what is trying to be made. Since there is lots of colors the piece is very eye catching. Something I don’t like though is that I still haven’t figured out what is trying to be made with the shapes. I think it’s a bird or even just a person. What do you think?

MY FAVORITE TEACHER

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEACHERS BECAUSE HE ALWAYS MAKES SURE THAT I’M OK AND DOING WELL. THIS MAKES IT GOING INTO HIS CLASS EASY AND FUN AND NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT A TOXIC ENVIRONMENT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. HE IS ALSO REALLY EASY TO HOLD A CONVERSATION WITH AND USUALLY I HAVE TROUBLE KEEPING CONVERSATION WITH TEACHERS BUT IT’S VERY EASY TO DO IN HIS CLASS.

DOUBLE EXPOSURE

CANON LENS EXPERIENCE 

PETER TELLONE WAS A LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRPAHER. TELLONE BELIEVES LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRPAHY MOVES AT A SLOWER PACE. ACCORDING TO TELLONE, THE PACE IN WHICH A SUBJECT MOVES IN NATURE ARE USUALLY SLOWER, AND MOST OF THE TIME IS MOTIONLESS. FOR TELLONE LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY MOSTLY RELIES ON HOW ACCURATE YOU GET THE PHOTO RATHER THAN THE SPEED, SILENCE, OR SMOOTHNESS. TELLONE’S PHOTOGRAPHY WORK IS MOSTLY CATEGORIZED BY HOW THE LIGHT AND PRESPECTIVE INTERACT WITH THE ENVIRONMENT. HOWEVER, SINCE TELLONE LIVES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MOST OF HIS WORK IS BASED OF THE NATURE AROUND HIS HOME. THIS MOSTLY INVOVLES PICTURES OF OCEANS TO DESERTS. HOWEVER, THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR OF TELLONE’S WORK IS PERSPECTIVE. HE SHOOTS LOW AND ULTRA WIDE WITH FOREGOROUND SUBJECTS CLOSE TO HIS LENS. ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER IS JEREMY COWART WHO IS INTO CELEBRITY PROTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY. HE HAS A LOT OF WORK THAT YOU WOULD REZOGNIZE IN MAGAZINE SHOOTS OR EVEN ALBUM COVERS. COWART HAS MOST RECENTLY DONE A HOLIDAY ALBUM COVER FOR KELLY CLARKSON. HE FIRST BEGAN AS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER ALONG WITH MANY OTHER THINGS. HOWEVER, HIS MAIN SUCCESS WAS BECOMING A PHOTOGRAPHER. COWART RAN HIS OWN DESIGN COMPANY FOR A WHILE BECAUSE HE PICKED UP A DIGITAL CAMERA AND THOUGHT IT WAS COOL TO SHOOT TEXTURES AND MANY OTHER DIFFERENT THINGS. ONCE HE BEGAN TO TAKE PICTURES OF TEXTURE, HE KNEW THAT BEING A PHOTOGRAPHER WAS SOMETHING HE WANTED TO DO. HOWEVER, HE STARTED OFF WITH A DIGITAL CAMERA SINCE HE WAS NOT AN EXPRIENCES OR TRAINED PHOTOGRPAHER. STEPHEN FRINK IS AN UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER, AND FOR FRINK BEING AN UNDERWATER PHOTOGRPAHER IS A THRILLING EXPREINCE. THERES SOMEHTING ABOUT SWIMMING NEXT TO A BOAT, DOLPHINES, OR EVEN A SHARK AND CAPTURING THEIR MOVEMNT IS EXHILARATING. HOWEVER, IT CAN ALSO BE EXTERMELY DIFFCULT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU NEED A LOT OF EXTRA GEAR TECHNIQUES AND PRATICE. STEPHEN IS GREAT AT UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHER SINCE HE HAS BEEN DONG IT FOR OVER 30 YEARS. HE HAS SHOT MANY THINGS FROM SPERM WALES TO OLYPMIC SWIMMERS. BEING A PROFFESIONAL HAS GOTTEN HIM MANY JOBS LIKE SCUBAPRO, VICTORIA SECERT, ROLEX, AND AMERICAN EXPRESS. HE’S BEEN ABLE TO SHOOT FOR MANY DIFFERENT MAGAZINES, ADVERTISEMENTS, AND EVEN HIS OWN STOCK PHOTO AGNECY AND HE EVEN HAS A SIDE JOB TEACHING MASTER LEVEL COURSES IN UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY. IN ANOTHER RELATED CATEGORY RALPH LEE HOPKINS PREFERS TO TAKE PICTURES OF WILDLIFE. HOPKINS’ GOAL WHEN IT COMES TO PHOTOS IS TO CHANGE WHAT A PERSON’S MIND THINKS OF WHEN THEY THINK WILDLIFE. ALMOST EVERYONE’S MIND AUTOMATICALLY GOES TO PRANCING DEER, SOARING BIRDS, AND ATTACKING GOFERS. HOWEVER, FOR HOPKINS TAKING PICTURES OF WILDLIFE GOES WAY BEYOND TAKING PICTURES OF DIFFERENT ANIMALS AND SPECIES. HE WANTS TO SHOW THE DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DIFFERENT SUBJECTS AND THEIR OWN ENVIORNMENT. ALTHOUGH HOPKINS GROWING UP IN NEW YORK CITY HIS INTREST IN WILDLIFE GREW AFTER GOING TO UNIVERSTITY IN AZ. HE WAS ALWAYS AROUND THE GRAND CANYON STUDYING THE WILDLIFE. THIS TRANSITION GREW TO ALSO INCLUDE OTHER LOCATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE PHOTOGRAPHERS HAS GREAT AND UNIQUE STYLES OF CAPTURING NATURE.

Read and Write

Five ways to have stronger composition when you are behind dslr camera or cellphone is including a focal point, follow the rule of the thirds, balance the image diagonally, shoot from a lower angle, and include foreground interest.

1. Having a main subject in your photo a great for composition. It gives it a main point of interest. Without a main focal point it probably not catch the interest of you viewers.
2. Using the rule of thirds can help. The rule of thirds can help you make your image look more balanced. The rule of thirds is really just a guideline.
3. Using the diagonal principle is another way to balance your image. If all of your points of interest are on one side of the image it makes it look unbalanced. Using the diagonal principle it help prevent this.
4. Don’t always take picture at eye level. Taking pictures at different angles help give the viewer a viewpoint they normally never see.
5. Frame the subject. If you frame the subject it makes it standout while also making the image as whole more interesting. It also puts the subject in the context of it surroundings.

Raw vs. Jpeg Capture

The difference between these two is that a RAW file is a file containing all of the information recorded by your camera’s sensor during exposure. In contrast, a JPEG file is a file that has been compressed by your camera, and does not contain all of the information recorded by your camera’s sensor during exposure.

WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT CAMERA EXPOSURE AND CAMERA MODES

The Shutter Speed is how long light is exposed to the camera. “It is a sensor that will be open or closed to incoming light from the camera lens.”

The Aperture controls how much light comes into the lens. “Setting controls the area over which light can pass through your camera lens.”

ISO speed determines the sensitiveness the camera has to light coming in. “Similar to shutter speed, it also correlates with how much the exposure increases or decreases.”

Camera Exposure Modes: Auto (green square), Program (P), Aperture Priority (Av), Shutter Priority (Tv), Manual (M) and Bulb (B) mode.
