Wrapping things up

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get close, capture real moments, and capture action or emotion? How did you deal with these?
Well when I went up close to people and tried to find a good angle to shoot at they'd stop what they were doing to look up to see what I was doing and then they would try to pose. So what i did to deal with it was tell them to ignore me and most of them did.
2. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) did you find yourself thinking about the most, and how did you make sure you did these correctly?
The thing I was thinking about the most was my focus on my subject and make sure that they stood out in the picture.
3. Describe how you attempted to use at least one of the advanced composition techniques when you shot.
One of my pictures was of lines, the picture had a row of computers pointing at a angle at a boy looking at a book.

Bob Rosato's Favorite Shots

  • In the picture i think the photographer was standing probly in the stand because it kinda looks like their looking down at it because you can see the ground.

  • I think the shutter speed is on fast because the car in action and they would have to have it fast to capture the moment.

  • Also i think that the aperture setting is big because it looks dark outside and it would need more light to get the picture.

  • The Focal length of len is probly long so they can see far because i know if i was at a race track thing i wouldent want to be all close up to a car driving that fast.

9/11 Composition

Simplicity

I pick this one for simplicity because theres a guy and a little girl in the picture, but in the picture its focus on the little girl.




The Rule of Thirds
I picked this one for the rule of thirds because the towers are in the lower left of the picture.While the smoke is traveling up and to the right.



Lines
I picked this one for lines because the red and white lines on the flag are leading straight to the guy.




Balance

i picked this picture for balance because where theri standing up to make the flag is looks even and balance.

Avoiding Mergers
I picked this picture for avoiding mergers because they took the picture at a low angle, So the focus is not on the guy but on the flag.





After Printing Post

Cleaned Negatives-washed them

Loaded Negative into enlarger-I put it in the tray thing then put it in the enlarger then closed the enlarger

Focused image-we used a microscope thing to look to see the crystal

Set aperture-twisted the knob

Made test strip-I put a black thing over my photo and moved it over for diffrent times to see which turned out better

Made Final Print-I put my paper down under the enlarger then set my timer and turned it on then put it in the chemicals
