Final Exam

Part 2

Gunman killed

What I see in this photo is that the person was shot through a car

window. The shattered glass lets you know that he was shot especially

the two holes in the glass.

Bonfire Celebration

what the picture looks like to me is that it seems to be pretty old

I think its similar to a painting. I like the way how the horse is running through

the fire and the jockey is keeping is face form being singed by looking away.

Monk Protest

 This photo really stands out to me because the way how the monk set himself

on fire to protest and get people's attention. What is another thing i noticed is

that all the people stopped to get their camera's out to take photo's.

Part 3

Forest

I like the way in this photo how there are still nature surrounding

and still the lighting be perfect. It gives the image a good look to it

and the angle they shot it at got the whole path.

Rain

the way how they set up the lighting in the background with

the girl in front it makes the image really stand out and makes the water more out there.

The lighting give the image a black and white feeling 

Soldier 

This image and the way how the photo is focused on the man's face make him

look bold. The sunlight in the background makes a perfect lighting for the focus

Broken Clock

I like this this photo because it resembles that it's been through a lot.

Probably war, and of course its aged greatly.

Self Portrait and Portraits

I like how they focused on the hand but you can still see the face some what

I like this photo because the focus and the black and white

I like the fish eye lens they used in this photo

                                             I like the lens they used in this photo

                                            I like the way how the face is focused on

iso aperture and shutter speed

                                              Aperture, IOS, & Shutter Speed  are the three pillars of photography

Simply put, aperture is a hole within a lens, through which light travels into the camera body. It is easier to understand the concept if you just think about our eyes. Every camera that we know of today is designed like human eyes. The cornea in our eyes is like the front element of a lens – it gathers all external light, then bends it and passes it to the iris. Depending on the amount of light, the iris can either expand or shrink, controlling the size of the pupil, which is a hole that lets the light pass further into the eye. The pupil is essentially what we refer to as aperture in photography. The amount of light that enters the retina (which works just like the camera sensor), is limited to the size of the pupil – the larger the pupil, the more light enters the retina. So, the easiest way to remember aperture, is by associating it with your pupil. Large pupil size equals large aperture, while small pupil size equals small aperture.

                                                                     F 16 aperture

ISO is the level of sensitivity of your camera to available light. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive it is to the light, while a higher ISO number increases the sensitivity of your camera. The component within your camera that can change sensitivity is called “image sensor” or simply “sensor”. It is the most important (and most expensive) part of a camera and it is responsible for gathering light and transforming it into an image. With increased sensitivity, your camera sensor can capture images in low-light environments without having to use a flash. But higher sensitivity comes at an expense – it adds grain or “noise” to the pictures
