Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

     1) The reason I choose John Gutmann's"Archer", was the fact that I love the past and the fact that I prefer the weapons of the past than the weapons of the present

     2) Promenade Deck

     I see a floating circle on the side of a deck just floating there. I see a small island in the horizon that we are heading to. Another thing I see how the sky and the sea cooperate with the earth making us a show that is beautiful.
     I smell the air that we smell when we are at the sea or ocean. I also smell the fresh air of the outdoors and the sea.there is no better smell than the smell of fun or freedom.
     I hear the waves hitting the but and people enjoying their cruise. I also hear the sea creatures dancing in the water jumping in and out of the water. Another thing I hear is a something calling me making me want to go in that direction and hearing new things that are out there.
     I taste the little drops of sea water that the boat runs into. I also taste the food that I was served at this ship, spaghetti, water, jello, and buffalo wings. Another thing that I taste is the taste of adventure, exploring what is out there and tasting freedom.
     I feel the fresh air, the water hitting my face, I feel the freedom of a animal. I also feel curios about what is in the black circle is it a portal to a different dimension? Or is it hole to the bottom of the ship. I also feel like it will lead me somewhere special that no one has been before.

        Archers
     I see modern day women going back into the past. I also see what it was like in the past, seeing these women makes me think that everything in the photo is in the past. Another thing I see is the house in the background reminding me that we are not in the past but how much the past meant to us.
     I smell the fresh air of the past. I also smell  the smell of the bows and arrows as if they were new. Another thing I smell is the perfume the woman are wearing.
     I hear the sound of arrows being launched and hitting the floor. Another thing I hear is the sound of cars passing by and kids playing outdoors. I also hear the birds, both passing by and the ones being frightened by the sound of the arrows hitting the food or passing by them.
     I taste the air of the past. I also taste that pie someone left out to cool down.
     I feel what it is like in the past. The excitement of what it is like to see professional archers shoot bow and arrows. I also feel the air that is passing by me.

Academic Shoot Reflection

     1) The only challenge for me was the challenge of remembering the rules
     2) The thing I had thought the about the most was focusing, I would keep my finger on the shoot button an when i had a good shoot my finger would press the button halfway down and click
     3) Nothing it went good and I haven't learn anything really new so I would do the same as last time
     4) I would do the same thing
     5) Framing and/or mergers would be the easiest
     6) lines would be the hardest but it isn't that hard
     7) lines are the ones that I have a little trouble remembering nut i can look back at the early post or assignments and restudy it.

Academic shoot - post your photos

simplicity
Avoiding Mergers
Balanced
Rule of Thirds
Framing
Lines

1) It depends on which rule I used, it could be the rules of how I took these pictures, if we are talking about the six rules of photography then the rules were pretty tough to follow and if we are talking about the rules of the academic shoot then it was very easy.

2) The subject of the photos are that many things are happening at once but no other scene is distracting the other, in the photos of lines one is putting make up near the center, at the left side we could see someone talk to another,and in the back two girls are doing nothing but poking up into space.

3) It is only clear to the people that can see it can not be entirely clear for those who can not see it and for those who can see it, they can see it in their own perspective, so in a way it can't be entirely clear

4) I would find a way to take a picture and make it look like it is the six rules of photography.

Mural project preview

      1) A theme that we could use for a mural is friendship, trust, or teamwork.
      2) We should open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones.
      3) In the cafeteria were everybody can see it even the teachers.

Africa Project preview

     1) My reactions to these photos of Africa and it wildlife is outstanding and simply amazing, the animal there are spectacular and wonderful and I really like these photos.
     2) This photo is my favorite of the photographer.
     3) This is my favorite photo for a couple of reasons the, first is that this picture is of a lion they are my favorite animals, the second reason is that the wind blows the lions mane one direction while the lion looks at the other direction, and the other reason is that the photo really catches a scene where the lion looks to his kingdom.
     4) This photo has balance in it for everything in the photo are balanced, the only lines I see are the ones in the grass and in the lions mane, this photo is simple.
     5) Nick Brandt used a Pentax 6711 with only two fixed lenses.
         While directing Michael Jackson's Earth Song in Tanzania, in 1995 that Brandt fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa.
         Over the next few years, frustrated that he could not capture on film his feelings about and love for animals he realized there was a way through this with photography
         Brandt loves Africa and he says,"That there is nothing that can take me out of Africa and its wildlife."

Academic Shoot Preview

"The Story"
     The story in this photo is one about people coming together an becoming friends. Friends can come in many shapes, sizes, and age.
     I think this story is about people getting along because the people in this photo are having fun and not arguing.
"Action and Emotion"
    The story in this photo is more about action because the two kids in this photo are using fire to cut or bind an object.
"Filling the Frame"
     This photo fills the frame because the room is filled with the people working together for a specific purpose.

     I picked this photo because it is an outstanding photo of a young girl putting some red food coloring in a box covered in a black bag and the center is jumping up with title pink clumps
     I see in this photo the rules of balancing, mergers, framing and lines (the lines pare on the edges of the bag

     Most of the photos are being taken in a science classroom and one in at a desk or an office but these photos are taken in the classroom
     All of the classrooms that will let me in
     Put everything that I had learn into the photos I would take

National Geographic Warm Up

2) This is my favorite photo because it reminds me of the story of Moses. The only difference is that in my eyes it is showing us that even in the darkest places there will always be light. another reason why this is my favorite is that the light looks like it is swirling in the cave which makes it look spectacular.

3) I would try to take multiple pictures of volcanoes and choose which one is the most amazing then enter it in the contest.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

1) This story that I read of the missiles was really interesting how the changed the three missiles to four. The military was suppose to take a picture of four missiles being launched but it didn't work so they used photoshop. They used it to clone one of the missiles and make it seem like it was a successful photo taken. 
b)to me this photo is Unethical because it is not a real photo
2) To me this is an unethical picture because it makes this man more scarier and blacker which in my opinion is wrong
b) To me this is the least unethical because you could barley see anythingnwrong with until you look close

Archers

post shoot reflection

     1)  The rain was one of the challenges because the camera was not suppose to get wet and we had to cover the top and make sure to get a good photo at the same time

     2)  The thing that was in my mind the most while taking photos was the focus I had to press the button half way to focus it then take the picture.

     3) I might do everything again because I had learn the different ways to a picture and make it good

     4) Focusing the camera that is the same thing I would do

     5) I might of achieved framing some of my photos but that was not my goal but to be honest I had no goal

     6) YES because it is fun and I would like to do it again

reaction to the falling man

My reaction at first was wow this is a cool stunt, but when I read the story and found out that this was real and I couldn't believe he would jump off the my reaction went from wow to oh no

The Rule of Thirds

I think tis is a good example of third because now you can see the smoke and what the people do, at the center you can see smoke and people walking on top you can see the buildings starting to get covered by smoke and on the bottom you can see cars and people just walking.

simplicity

This is a good example of simplicity because it is simple and not to complicated for people to see or wonder what is happing

lines

In my opinion this is a good example about lines because  the trade center has lines on it going up & down from both of the buildings.

balancing

once again I am not sure if this is a good example but in my eyes everything looks balanced like they are all on equal ground.

avoiding mergers

I'm not sure if I am avoiding merger considering that the bottom of the building is cut off but it would be hard to take a picture of the whole building since it is surround by buildings

Framing

This is a good example of framing because the trees and the buildings are there framing it, since the buildings and trees are not perfectly align this type of frame is unique
