Rules of Composition Part 2

                                                                       Rule of Thirds

                                                                              

 The rule of thirds is a powerful compositional technique for making photos more interesting and dynamic. 

Balance/Balancing Elements

Balance is a compositional technique in photography that juxtaposes images within a frame so that the objects are of equal visual weight. 

Lines/Leading Lines

Leading lines are lines within an image that leads the eye to another point in the image, or occasionally, out of the image.

Simplicity/Background

Keeping things simple sometimes is the best way to get a good photo. Look for uncomplicated backgrounds and try to focus on keeping objects out of the picture that may draw attention away from your subject.

Framing

Framing is the technique of drawing attention to the subject of your image by blocking other parts of the image with something in the scene.

Avoiding Mergers

A merger in photography occurs when a background object is directly in front or behind a subject.

Symmetry and Patterns

an object or design that is symmetrical has two halves that are exactly the same shape and size. The pattern was perfectlysymmetrical. symmetrically adverb. Definition of symmetrical from the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English within. the topic SHAPES, PATTERNS.

Viewpoint 

viewpoint has a massive impact on the composition of our photo, and as a result it can greatly affect the message that the shot conveys.

Background

The human eye is excellent at distinguishing between different elements in a scene, whereas a camera has a tendency to flatten the foreground and background, and this can often ruin an otherwise great photo.

Create depth

You can create depth in a photo by including objects in the foreground, middle ground and background. Another useful composition technique is overlapping, where you deliberately partially obscure one object with another.

 Framing

By placing these around the edge of the composition you help 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.

Cropping

By cropping tight around the subject you eliminate the background "noise", ensuring the subject gets the viewer's undivided attention.

Part 4 Questions

1.What was the best ISO setting to use for your portraits?

My first best photo is 800 & 1600 

2.What was your next best photo?

 Second is 3200 liked the brightness 

3.Were you able to create equivalent exposures to your best photo by changing the aperture and shutter speed? 

Yes , the more that i changed the ISO the better the picture got .

4.What did you learn from this activity that you will apply to your real portrait shoot?

I learned that if you need to focus on the objective . to get a better clear picture .

Fixed portrait shoot

Manual Photography

Aperture

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

 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. 

2.The smaller the Aperture the biggest the area of focus, the higher the Aperture 

the smaller the area of focus.

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

The size of the aperture has a direct impact on the depth of field, which is the area of the image that appears sharp. 

4. Using a class camera, list ALL of the F stops available on the lens currently attached.

F4.0 , F4.5 , F5.0 , F5.6 , F6.3 , F7.1 ,F8.0 ,F9.0 , F10

5. What is the highest and smallest aperture numbers available on the kit lens?

    F,425

SHUTTER 

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

1.) the dunking booth    ( SLOW ) 

2.) the food eating contest   ( FAST )

3.) the rock climbing wall   ( SLOW ) 

4.) someone working at a booth  ( MEDIUM ) 

5.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle   ( SLOW )

f6) the Diamonds performance  ( SLOW )
              
 You cant even see the sun anymore its dark outside should the camera be slow or fast.  

a.) the dunking booth ( FAST )

b.) the food eating contest  ( MEDIUM ) 

c.) the rock climbing wall  ( FAST )

d.) someone working at a booth ( SLOW )

e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle ( SLOW )

f.) the Diamonds performance.  ( MEDIUM )

ISO

The one on the left side is iso 200 .   The one with the 3200 is on the right 

1. What are the advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game? 

    When shooting at night with a higher ISO the chances of you getting a good picture is low because of the light there the high the less chance you have.

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?

   it has a lower brightness instead of it being high.

3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?

   The lighter the better chance of getting a good picture at night in the foot ball game.

4. At the camera near you, please tell me what ISO's are available on your camera

               Most IP cameras are assigned a temporary IP address by your router.
