Abandon Theme Parks

     1) The park I like to visit would be the Glen Echo park. I would like to visit the Glen echo park because it is old fashioned hand I like old fashioned. It reminds me of what it would have been like in the park and I would have loved to go there. I would take pictures of every thing because I would want to remember that day.
     2) Here is a photo of the Glen Echo Parks, Crystal Pool
     3) list 5 unusual place I would visit
        - the forest
        - a island
        - a castle
        - a abandon amusement park
        - ruins of an ancient civilization
    4) Here are some pictures of a couple of ancient civilizations
     5) It would be really fun to document these location because, well what photographer wouldn't want to take a picture of these ancient places. Who knows what secrets the ancients had held in there kingdoms, there are still many things we don't know that we could discover. I would really love to go to these places and more to take these photos and keep them forever.
     6) it wouldn't take me anything ftp go to these locations,money would be ok, but beside the point I love the ancients, and I would love to visit these places. first off I would need a camera and I would definitely need a guide,  because I don't know where is where and I would hate to get lost. The law that concerns me the most would be getting my passport, that is the only law that concerns me.

American Soldier slide show and captions (review)


         1)
this photo to me is the most powerful because it is about a soldier who is going to a war and might die but only time will tell so the parents dare saying good bye hoping he will come back

     b. From image 1 to image 10 he is at home in Denver
         From image 11 to image 50 he is in military training
         From image 51 to image 70 he is in Iraq
         From image 71 to image 83 his back home
     When he is returning home is the most powerful set because he is welcomed back with open ams and he is where he belongs
      c. They were taken in a type of order where he starts out in Denver signing up in the army then training in the army then going to Iraq then finally coming home

   2)
        a. The verbs are mostly Past tense
        b. By letting the reader know what is happening
 
   3)
"Falling asleep"who knew the barber would be so boring  just sitting around doing nothing right before he joins the army. They just stood there doing nothing, why would they just sit there and let him sleep

 "Falling asleep again?" I guess this guy is a lazy one who doesn't feel the cold whip cream on his head maybe instead of a soldier he could be the sandman. he grabbed the wrong can he was suppose the get the can filled with sand.

  "Hiding" he finally has the courage to go outside and hide from his nightmare, thats what he gets for sleeping to much. In a leafy forest, or a big bush, he must hide from the thing he fears most.

     5) a. They make it clear on what the photo is
         b. The videos show more than what the pictures show us
         c.  the photos don't take as long as the videos and you can see the caption so they tell you the strory

Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO - how they all work

Here is an example of a photo taken at aperture F2.8
And here is an example of a photo taken at aperture F16
1) What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
     we should closely relate the aperture to the cornea in our eyes
2)  Finish this sentence- the smaller the Aperture___F stop___, the higher the Aperture ___size___
3) in your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?
     If the F number is large, all objects in the background or foreground will become focused,but if the F number is small it will make all background objects blurry and foreground objects sharp.

Now that we are done with Aperture lets look at Shutter speed, here is an example of high shutter speed
 Now here is one with slow shutter speed
1) I was not at Blue and Gold Night so I can't answer this question
2) List the three settings your camera has regarding shutter speed ( these are found at the Shutter Speed website) explain how each works -DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.
    a. Auto- the camera automatically activates shutter speed and aperture
    b. Aperture Priority- you set the lens of the aperture while the camera automatically activates shutter speed
    c. Manual -you set aperture and shutter speed.

Now that we are done with Shutter speed we will move on to ISO, here is an example of an ISO 200
and here is one with ISO 3200


1) It is better to shoot at a higher shutter speed at a a sporting event because you will get a better picture
2) Always take low ISO pictures when there is enough light
3) Always take high ISO pictures when there isn't enough light

 Now that we are finished with that lets move on to the acidity Sim Link
       Ex. F2.8 looks the best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed
Answers: F4 looks the best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed
                F5.6 looks the best at 1/25th of a second shutter speed
                F8 looks the best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed
                F11 looks the best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed
                F16 looks the best at 1/30th of a second shutter speed
                F22 looks the best at none
What is happening in the background?
         Ex. at F2.8 there is no background visible- it is very blurry and all you can really see is the couple.
                At shutter 1/500, F4 there is a background that is very blurry, the picture has gotten darker, and the couple is the only thing visible             
                At shutter 1/500, F5.6 there is a darker color on everything the background has become a little more visible
                At shutter 1/500, F8 there is the entire picture has gone darker the couple is starting to disappear
                At shutter 1/500, F11 there is dark background and you can only see the couples arms and barely the neck
                At shutter 1/500, F16 there is nothing visible
                At shutter 1/500, F22 there is nothing visible

What is happening to the people themselves at slow shutter speeds?
     The couple is either very bright or shaking
What could the photographer do to help combat this problem?
     He could make the shutter speed faster instead of slower
What is the lowest shutter speed do you think a hand-hold a camera?
     I think 1/8
How did you do on the depth of field test?
    I didn't do so good I still need to learn more about Depth of Field
How did you do on the shutter speed and motion test?
    I did good ,I now know my shutter speed and motion
