Blowout & Panning

I created blowout by using an ISO of 50 an Aperture 100-001 of and a shutter of 1/15, I don't think this was the best way to do it, I could of done something different to make the picture better and make Adam more visible. Panning is when your emphasis is in focus while everything around it is out of focus. The emphasis should be in focus and everything should be out of focus and all blurry, I think i could of done a better job with panning. I could of followed my subject better to get a better picture. ISO-100 Aperture-100-0015 Shutter-1/2sec. The difficult part was the whole thing, trying to make your emphasis in focus and everything all blurry.

Shutter Speed

Shutter determines how long light gets to go in the camera. The setting in the room was dark all the lights were off for these three pictures, we had to set our camera to ISO 500 shutter to two seconds and the aperture was large. This was a fun experiment, I learned how to take cool pictures with my camera, and how to make shadows with ourselves. Because the shutter lets us all be able to be in the picture and lets us do what we want to do. The first two on top because its cool how Adam and I look like ghosts, and how were both in different spots at the same time.

Aperture

Aperture is the size of the hole that the light travels through. In this picture the hole is big because its capturing the whale and the moutain. The number is small because the hole is big. The f-stop would be a small number because the hole is big.

ISO

ISO 5000

ISO 800

ISO 400
ISO 50

ISO FLASH

ISO is the speed of the camera, it refers to the films speed when light enters the camera. When i used the flash it made Adam blurry and out of focus and it was bright, and when i used ISO 50 it wasnt blurry but it was dark, ISO 400 wasnt blurry and you can see Adam but it was a little sandy, ISO 800 was that alot brighter than ISO 40 but it was a little more sandy than before, and ISO 5000 it was like the lights in the classroom were on it didnt seem like we were in the dark at all but it was really sandy. The first picture is bright then it goes dark then it goes lighter then lighter then lighter but it also gets more focused and more sandy. I would choose ISO over flash because flash makes the camera blurry and out of foucs and ISO make the picture more focused and it isnt blurry. How sandy it is, also when your outside it can make everything bright in the background and make the foreground dark.

Flash

The pros for using flash are: it adds light, and it freezes, eliminates blur the cons for flash are: the flash may disturb the subject, it creates ugly lighting situations, red eyes, and makes backgounds dark. When your outside and theres shadows on someones face or when your taking a picture under a tree. When you want more color in your picture the flash should be off, or when you dont want a blurry picture. The picture i choose is better without flash because if it had flash the background would be pitch black and you wouldnt be able to see the color of the lights the bridge has. Also if flash was on you wouldnt be able to see the reflection of the bridege in the water.

Metering

Light metering is when the camera measures the light, when you wanna activate light metering you have to hold the shutter button down half way. It makes sure that there's enough light. The fist picture is brighter than the bottom picture because I metered the computers light than took a picture of the computer and my partner, so the light from the computer helped capture the light. The second picture I metered my partners skin tone and then took a picture of him and the computer so its darker because there wasn't any light for the camera to meter. If its dark and i wanna take a picture of someone then I can meter the light from something and get the picture.

Surrealism: "Foot Fishing"

In this picture I’m sitting on a broken boat in the middle of a blue ocean, there’s a lighthouse a couple of miles down, Drevon is waving for help by the lighthouse. There’s green fish swimming by the boat and foot fish as well, there’s a foot fish hanging from a fishing pole that’s lying on the boat. The water and the boat obviously go together but the feet fish does not really tie with everything else. There's normal fish and then theirs feet fish the feet don’t tie with the whole picture. I don’t think this picture has an emphasis I wanted people to look at what interests them it does not have to be one thing if they see something they like they should look at that first. The artist used the feet to guide the eye to Drevon and the light house, they also used the fish to guide the eye through the picture. It feels like this picture is showing a little bit of sadness because the person on the boat looks sad and the fish look worried even though it looks a very up beat picture there's something about that makes me seem like its sad. I think the artist did a good job with creating the fish and the water and how they put this all together because if I didn't see this before and I had to make a picture out of water, fish, a foot, a fishing pole, a lighthouse, a boat and a person it wouldn't be very easy to make it all combine.
