review

1. Rule of thirds - A picture with the main focus off to the side.

2. Balancing Elements -  balancing things with the same amount 

3. Leading Lines - Lines that lead the eye to an object

4. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition) - symmetry is a photo you can split in half and it will be the same. Patters a reassuring shape or color etc.

5. Viewpoint - taking a picture from a unique angle 

6. Background - Whats behind the object in your photo 

7. Create depth - objects that over lap

8. Framing - Natural background that surrounds a object 

9. Cropping - A tight edit on a object in a photo

10. Mergers and avoiding them - An object blending with background, Try to take from different angel.

Aperture - Is like the human eye. It is what lets light into the camera. The smaller the aperture the more light. 
Shutter speed - is how fast the shutter is and that makes the picture less blurry. 
Iso - light sensitivity. It adds brightness and darkness into the photo.


Types of self portraits- 
Enviormental - taken outside 
Self - A picture taken where you can obiously see that you took it yourself. 
casual -  just a casual, not trying hard photo taken by yourself

Depth in field - where a object is very sharp but the backround and surroundings are blurry. 
exposere - how  much light or darkness is in your picture.
Focal length - the lens that you can focus and zoom in and out with.

• Favorite tips-

I liked how in the first article the author told you to get a text object to focus on before you start taking pictures with a timer so you know what your focus is. 

I also liked the authors tip on setting a high timer. Its smart, you get more time to get relaxed and ready for your picture. 

• Environmental portraits 

          

I picked this photo because i like how natural and canned it looks. This picture makes her look really at home i guess you could say 

I picked this picture because softball is really important to me and in this picture you can tell how much this girl also likes softball. she looks really natural and happy.

• Casual portraits 
  

This is a good casual picture in my opinion because it doesn't look posed at all and it looks very normal. Both the baby and the woman look really happy.

• Formal portrait

I like and choose this picture because it's formal. it looks really professional.

• Favorite self portraits

 I picked this because its fun. Its a good picture, not to serious, not to silly.                                                                                                                                                                 

I picked this picture because i like the font and i like how he took it. everything about this picture i like. 

      I will take pictures of both me and my partner. we will go outside and probably take pictures by a tree. I will set up a timer and take a picture of me and then ill take a picture of my partner. Im planning on continueisly checking my focus to make sure its a good photo. 

Three pillars of exposer

F16

F2.8

Question answers

1.) eyes

2.) the smaller the aperture the more light comes into the picture

3.)Aperture affects depth of field by making the background of the picture either sharper or blurrier. Which depending on the picture some look better with more focus and some look better with focus all around 

                                   fast shutter speed                                               slow shutter speed

2.)E

                                                                                                  Iso 200

Iso 3200

quiz- 

1.) the advantage of using a higher iso at a football game is it can open the iris up more without letting in extra light 

2.)When there is a lot of light exposure try to use the lowest iso possible 

• f4 - 1/125
• f5.6 - 1/60
• f8 - 1/60
