Mural Project

1) I think a theme that we could take pictures of around the school would be nature. I think that pictures of nature brighten up a place. It makes the building look nicer and happier.

2) I think that people should use whatever they want to take photos. Because not everyone has iPhones, or not everyone has a camera. Some people don't have either, so the school should lend out cameras if some people don't have anything to take photos with. Or, two people could pair up to take photos.

3) I think that we should put the murals everywhere on campus. Especially on the ceiling, I've seen it done before and it was so beautiful! Also, we should put the murals on the hallways to make the hallways look more appealing and nice to be in, and help make people feel welcome and safe.

Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1) Challenges I encountered was actually building up the courage to go into the classrooms. Because I get scared going somewhere alone into a place where I don't know people.

2) I found myself thinking most about the focus and angle of the camera.

3) Something I would do differently would to go with a partner.

4) I would keep the same thing that we did where we had to go into classrooms.

5) The easiest rule to achieve on the next prompt would be rule of thirds.

6) The hardest rule to capture was everyone but rule of thirds and simplicity.

7) I am still not clear on all the other rules but rule of thirds and simplicity. I could look them up online and go over the definitions till I remember each of the rules.

Post Shoot Reflection

1) The rule that i followed was simplicity. I just too a photo from on top of the stairs looking down at the students. I just placed them in the middle of my photo.

2) The subject of the photo is all the papers on the table. Because i wanted to show how much students have to study to get a good grade on tests. 

3) I think I could have been more specific on what the subject is. I think that the way  think of the subject is different than others. 

4) I think i could have put the focus on a person to make my subject more noticeable. Or, i could have positioned the camera differently.

1) The rule that I used is Rule of Thirds. The girl in the yellow shirt draws your attention to her because of her bright shirt. She is also shifted to the side. 

2) The subject of my picture is the girl in the yellow shirt. This is because the first thing you look at is her because of her bright shirt.

3)  I think that it is pretty clear what the subject of my picture is. But, some people may think that it is the teacher.

4)  I feel like I did a pretty good job on this picture of "saying" what the subject is. 

1)  The rule I used was a simple background. So that you only focus on the girl reading, and nothing else in the background. Because, there is nothing else distracting in the background.

2)  The subject of my photo is the girl reading. I zoomed in on her, and tried to take out any distractions in the background.

3)  I think that is clear that the subject of my photo is the girl reading because thats the first thing you look at in the photo. Also, she takes up the while frame of the photo. 

4)  I think that to be more clear on my photo by maybe in photoshop figuring out how to change the color of her scarf. So that you look at her, and not the scarf, because it is the only bright color in the picture.     

ISO and different setting numbers

1. The advantages of shooting at a football game at night at a higher ISO is that the higher ISO helps freeze, or capture the picture better. SO that the picture isn't as blurry. 
2. The suggestions that the author are to us about low ISO is that when there is plenty of light you should always use low ISO. 
3. The suggestions the Author made to us about high ISO is that when  you shoot indoors without a flash, you should use high ISO. 

Aperture Settings: 2.8, 4,5.6,8,11,16,22

2. Auto mode is when the camera automatically selects shutter speed or aperture. Shutter Priority mode is when you choose to turn on shutter speed, and the camera automatically chooses aperture.
Manual mode is when you can choose to turn on shutter speed and aperture whenever you need to.

Aperture Settings

F2.8

F16

1. The part of the body that we can most relate aperture to is your eye. Well, more specifically the  pupil of your eye. 
2. The smaller the Aperture means that less light is able to get through, so the lens is more focused on everything. The higher the Aperture means that the lens is bigger and more light can get through, and so the picture is focused just on one subject. 
3. Aperture affects Depth of Field because it makes the image look sharper. 

Part Three

1. - lookout for those quiet moments to take pictures of, because they are hard to find.
    - take pictures that make have a memory of something, that reminds the viewer of something that    
      they remember.
    - look at where the light is, and use it in your advantage in the picture.

4. This photographer didn't really follow the rules of this photo. The photographer didn't make that flower take up the whole frame. But the photographer did follow the rules of the photo by making it a simple picture, with a non-distracting background. 

5. The style of painting that would influence me is outside photos. Or, like some photos taken in nature. Because I love seeing the beauty of everything outside, and it aces me feel happy.
