The Camera

Image Capture: referred to as digitisation, is the process of creating a digital representation or image of an original through scanning or digital photography.

Lens:  is an optical device with perfect or approximate axial symmetry which transmits and refracts light, converging or diverging the beam. 

Focus: maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system

Film Format: is a technical definition of a set of standard characteristics regarding image capture on photographic film, It can also apply to projected film, either slides or movies.  primary characteristic of a film format is its size and shape.

Shutter: a mechanical device on a camera that opens and closes to control the time of a photographic exposure

Aperture: In optics, an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels, the aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane.

Exposure: exposure is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium, during the process of taking a photograph.

Depth of field: the distance in front of and behind the subject that appears to be in focus

F-Stop:  steps or stopping points for adjusting the aperture of a lens, either marked on a ring on the lens and adjusted by rotating that ring or marked in the display of a camera.

Focal length: the distance from the lens, whether a lens or mirror, that an image of a target at infinity is brought to a focus.

Hurricane Ike

 

In this photo it looks like it could be categorized under "framing" because it looks like the photographer just took a snapshot of this.

This photo struck me because before the hurricane this was just a normal road, by the beach and buildings, ect.

Hurricane ike made this look not even look like a road or anything anymore! 

This is why the photo struck me mainly cause of the before and after image. 

I think this photo would also be categorized under framing, mainly because its a snap shot, and not cropped.

The  image struck me because the before image, was all green with land and trees, roads ect. 

The after image looks like an island from all the flooding and you can actually see the road if you look closley.

So i thought this image was pretty cool. the hurricane wasn't cool but i though the photo was.

Pinhole Finale

There were alot of differences between the two images. The positive was mainly all black and you couldnt really see anything. My negative came out pretty good because you can actually see stuff in the back such as a couple cars, and thats about it. The main difference out of the  two  was the image quality.


Negative: noting an image in which the brightness values of the subject are reproduced so that the lightest areas are shown as the darkest.

My negative looks different because the brightness changed and the dark areas are lighter in the negative, than in the positive.

Avoiding Mergers

Avoiding Mergers
this photo shows the whole picture its not cut off or cropped, to be smaller so this would be avoiding mergers.

Framing

 Framing

  this is the center of attention at this point, so this would be framing.

 

Balance

Balance
 you can see the balance in the objects in this photo, so this is balance.

Lines

Lines
you can see the lines in the building, so its shows that this goes in the lines category.

Rule Of Thirds

Rule Of Thirds: 
In this photo george bush is coming from the left side of the room, so it shows that its the rule of thirds.

Simplicity

Simplicity
The Man is the center of attention because he is speaking to the people and everybody is watching and focused on him.

Arnold Newman

Pinhole Camera

  I like this photo because the camera is focused in the center and the image is unusual and different.Another reason why i like this photo is that it has that 4th of July feel to it
The photo was not focused (soft).     

     I don't like this photo because it reminds me of the movie "Nightmare on elm street", and when i first saw that movie i couldn't sleep that night. The focus in this photo was good (sharp).
