2.) My best photo is my ISO 400 because its lighting is perfect and its every balanced.
3.) yes

Favorites of 2013

          Counting Stars by OneRepublic is my jam. For sure my favorite song from 2013. Its fun and catchy and it just puts me in a good mood. Especially in softball. ill be jamming out on the field with that song stuck in my head. 

        My favorite movie is a hard one. I would say that my favorite movie is This is the end. I love James Franco and he was hilarious in that movie. Plus all the actors in the movie are really good actors and are really popular right now. I think I've watched it about a million times. no joke, over and over. 

       The news story that affected me the most this year was the fire in Yarnell, Arizona. I lived in Az when this happened and i actually knew one of the firefighters who was my cousins friend. That impacted not only me but a ton of people. It was a big wake up call for especially me just knowing how people risk their lives everyday and sometimes its a risk that was to risky. So because of this i now look up to firefighters more and respect their jobs more.
       

                                                               

                                                                Malala Yousafzai
         Malala was shot in the head by an Taliban assassination attempt. She was a target because she was trying to speak out about bettering the girl education under Taliban rule. After she survived the shooting she started to tell her story all over the world.

    My favorite sports figure for 2013 is Arron Rodgers. He's the quarterback for the green bay Packers. I picked him because he's my favorite figure in the NFL and he's a great quarterback. All season he was out because of a broken collar bone but he played in a game against the lions on Thanksgiving and lead them to victory. 

best of 2013 pictures

This picture has simplicity and i just think its beautiful. Its extremity colorful and the sad thing is this is our ozone layer. So its extremely sad but beautiful at the same time. 

This picture to me is absolutely amazing. I used to live 15 minutes away from the canyon and i could never find a good picture of it that catures its beauty. This picture just makes you feel awed. Plus i would say this picture has pretty good balance.

I picked this photo because it amazes me that this guy is on fire. He is still taking the picture even though his feet are a flame! Thats extremely impress. 

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.

self portraits and portraits

• 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.

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
