Semester Final Exam Part 2 and 3

part 2

  Bonfire Night Horse ride

  On November 5th, James Smith fearlessness rides a horse in the roaring fires to celebrate the death of the Guy Fawkes at Bonfire Night in England.

In November 1605, the infamous Gunpowder Plot took place in which some Catholics plotted to blow up the English Parliament and King James l, on the day set for the king to open Parliament. The men were angry because the king had treated them badly and they didn't like it.

The story is remembered each 5th November when 'Guys' are burned in a celebration known as "Bonfire Night".

 Monk on Fire

  A young Tibetan monk ZhangYu burned himself Monday in protest against Chinese rule in Tibetan-populated areas and demanding the return of Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama.

 
  The self-immolation came more than a month after a Tibetan father of two burned himself to death in Sichuan province to protest against Chinese policies in late September.

Rhino transported

  On Sunday, a rare black rhino Ray is airlifted by helicopter as part of a WWF conservation campaign to protect the species from poachers.

  The relocation, one of 10 which took place in the KwaZulu-Natal region of eastern South Africa, comes just days after the Western Black rhino, a subspecies of the black Rhino, was officially declared extinct after last being seen in 2006.

Part 3

Lines

  A continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point; it may be flat (pencil line) or three-dimensional.

  This line divide the space and volume they are in. At the same time, they can unite and tie elements together.

 Rule of Thirds

  Imagine that your image is divided into 9 equal segments by 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines. The most important elements in your scene along these lines, or at the points where they intersect, which is the person in the photo, doing this will add balance and interest to the photo.

 Repeating

  Those rain drops create interest, movement, and harmony and unity. Rhythms can be random, regular, alternating, flowing, and progressive. Classes of pattern include mosaics, lattices, spirals, meanders, waves, symmetry and fractals, among others.

Simplify

Having too much going on in your frame can me the person who's looking at it will just keep searching it for a point of focus and soon get bored of looking when they can't find one. This photo also have a great background, which is all clean, neat, and nice.

 Frame

The picture with many grass, leaves and trees, which makes a perfect natural frame. By placing these around the edge of the composition, it helps you to isolate the main subject from the outside world. The result is a more focused image which draws your eye naturally to the main point of interest.

TIPS


Environment, sometimes environment can inspire the image. For instance one night of January was extremely foggy.

Background is the key.

The Three Pillars of Exposure: Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed

 F2.8

 F16

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?

 our eyes.

2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture less light enters the retina, the higher the Aperture  more light enters the retina.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?

 the part of image that is sharp and blurry.

 slow

high

 at Blue and Gold night, i would use high shutter speed to take pictures.

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light

• a.) the dunking booth
•  fast
• b.) the food eating contest
•  fast
• c.) the rock climbing wall
•  slow
• d.) someone working at a booth
•  slow
• e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
•  slow
• f.) the Diamonds performance.
• fast

Towards the end when there is no sun and it is dark so there is not enough light to see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

• a.) the dunking booth
•  slow
• b.) the food eating contest
•  slow
• c.) the rock climbing wall
•  medium
• d.) someone working at a booth
•  slow
• e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle
•  medium
• f.) the Diamonds performance.
•  medium

2. List the THREE settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words

Aperture Priority: auto set aperture speed

Shutter Priority: auto set shutter speed

Manual: set both aperture and shutter manually

ISO200

ISO6400

• F4 
• ---1/112 sec
• F5.6 
• ---1/60 sec
• F8
• ---1/60 sec
• F11
• ---1/60 sec
• F16 
• --- 1/30 sec
• F22
• ---1/15 sec

Now its your turn at each F-stop tell me what the background looks like. Is it in focus or blurry? 

blurry

Finally, what is happening to the subject (the people) at SLOW Shutter Speeds? What could the photographer do to help combat this problem?
slow motion
What is the lowest Shutter Speed do you think a photographer can hand-hold the camera without a tripod?

 100
