9/11 reflection

This is a great one because the lighting is beautiful and the balance between the smoke and the remainder of the building its a part of history in my eyes the remainder of the twin towers all the smoke makes a good image

                                                                              Balance 



           

Simplictiy

                                                                                 
 this pic has great simplicity good outline of the pic









                                                                             Shape

This is a good picture you can see the shape and angle of the building and you can tell the amount of fear this guy has on his face and you can see the outline of the building and has a great angle
     
                                                                            





Line
This is an another example of line photography you can see the lines of the building and the guy flying off the building 



this is an another example of line photography you can see the lines of the building and the guy flying off the building great focus and great angle 



Mergers 




This is an example of merge theres a lot of things in the background destrating the picture you see the bridge and the other towers still a good picture because the timing of the explosion but look at the back ground and you can see the destration 





This is a example of simplicity nothing in the background to destroy the picture and has great focus on the building explosion etc.


Simplicity 



Framing 

This picture has some good frame you can see the buildings u shape in the destruction

Elements of Art and Principles of Design

Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.


Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.
 

 Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.


Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.  Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.


Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.  Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.


 Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or  negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.

i like the way how she added the flash and i also like the angles she used

one thing that you can improve is to hold the camera still

camera history

To take good photos, it is necessary to understand the parts of a camera and how they work to take photos. To learn more about cameras click on the following link and click on each category.



1. Explain the “camera obscure” effect. How is it achieved?
 In ancient times, Greek and Chinese philosophers discovered a curious optical effect, and it worked like this:

2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera?
In the 17th century, the modern camera came one step closer when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses

3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce?
Soon there were small, portable camera obscures, but an important piece was missing..

4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera?
 New cameras are very easy to use, just point and shoot. The camera's built-in computer handles focus and exposure so you don't have to. 

5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image?
So what has changed? The most recent revolution in photography is the invention of digital film.

6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode?
Old fashioned cameras have one mode.. manual. Camera settings would have to be figured out by the photographer, along with focus.
7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work?
Of all the shooting modes, Auto/Program is probably the most useful. Most people don't really want to learn about how a camera works, and point and shoot photography is the perfect solution. The fully automatic Auto or Program mode is the default for most modern cameras. The photographer can simply aim, press the button, and almost be guaranteed a great image.
8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work?
While Program is the most important for everyday use, most cameras have dozens more.. it's like having an assistant photographer inside your camera who tries to figure out what you need.

 9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?
 Most of the time, the inside of the camera is totally dark. When a photograph is taken, the camera opens and light from outside floods in through the lens. Light is projected onto film to make the exposure.
10. What does this symbol mean?
 When would you use this?
11.What does this symbol mean?
When would you use this?
 
12. What happens to your photo if there is too much light?
Aperture, shutter, and film settings are all divided up into "stops", even though the numbering systems are different.
13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light?
 


The term "stop" is used in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change in the brightness of light.
 
14. What is a “stop.”
In order for an image to be captured on film, it must be exposed to light. The camera has two settings that control light, and they work very similar to the human eye.

15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two sons instead of one?
The shutter blocks all light from exposing the film UNTIL you press the button. Then it quickly opens and closes, giving the film a brief flash of light.
16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four sons instead of two?
 Before light reaches film, it must pass through an opening called an "Aperture". The aperture is like a pupil. You can control the aperture by setting the "Aperture Opening", also known as an F-Stop.
17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have?
Determines HOW LONG the shutter stays open.
18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?
Like the pupil in a human eye, the aperture on a camera controls light.
It does so by closing up to restrict light, and opening up to let it through.
 
19. What does the aperture control?
Exposure is about different combinations of shutter and f-stop settings. These combinations can drastically affect the finished picture. For example, the following three pictures have been given an equal amount of light, but the f-stop and shutter combinations make each one unique.
20. When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light?
  Since f-stop and shutter are both measured in stops, keeping balance is easy. If you take away 2 stops from the aperture, you can give 2 stops back with the shutter and end up with the same exposure level.
