Surrealism

Surrealism is when a picture has elements of real object but are put into unusual places which can make it seem like a dream of some sort. This picture is a great representation of surrealism. This photo has many objects that would mostly not go together. The picture takes place in the sky above a group of clouds. There’s a little hut on top of rocks and a ladder leading down. The tree is covering the hut with some sort of shade. The picture has great shadow, and it makes it look realistic. I chose this photo because it would be something that would pop into a dream. The round rock in the center of all the other rocks is also eye catching for me because how it’s balancing and keeping everything up. This picture is just really interesting and its fascinating how someone would come up with this. (Art Work of Paul Bond)

Shadows and Light

This photo is a good job of showing shadows and light. The shadow and light on her face almost balance each other out. The shadow isn’t too dark, and light isn’t too bright which makes the design on her face recognizable. The amount of distance between the girl and the camera is a little far but all the little details are still visible. The depth of field makes the girl pop out more. The photo can make the viewer experience the feeling of the shadow being on their face because of the warmth it gives off. The pattern consists of hearts, arrows and ovals all over her face and body. The colors that the girl is wearing are all light and a hint of a bold color on her lips which can stand out. Also, the girls’ lips is in the center of the shadow which can be the center of the photo. Overall, the photo is clean and is an amazing example of shadows and light.

Composition

Aug18

: This photograph shows contrast because the red bell pepper stands out than the green apples.

: This photograph shows a viewpoint because the camera is faced straight up showing buildings.

: This photograph shows rule of thirds because if there was a 3×3 in lines the sunset and the dog would be a main point.

: This photograph shows a pattern because the spider weds lines are identical each row.

: This photograph shows diagonal because the stairs are going up/down instead of side to side.

: This photograph shows shapes because each hexagon are similar and fit together like a puzzle.

: This photograph shows a primary point of interest because the island is in the middle of the photo and catches the viewers’ attention first.

: This photograph shows balance because the background is like a gradient which fades in together making it balanced.

: This photograph shows framing because the trees make a frame for the lake in the background.

: This photograph shows repeating lines because each line is placed behind one another and it keeps on going.

: This photograph shows simplicity because the one droplet in the front is clearer to see than the others in the background blurred out.

: This photograph shows leading lines because the fences on the side seem to lead the viewer to a light house.

Texture

This photograph is successful in many ways. The bricks are vibrant, there are different types of shades of blue. The black outline does a great job of showing the different sizes of bricks and how they all come together.

The lighting is perfect, it’s not too dark and it’s not too bright where you can’t figure out what it is. The photograph seems like it has a rough texture too because of all the sandy cracks and edges.

Overall, this photograph is successful because of the color, the different sizes of bricks, the lighting and the texture.

I chose this photograph because it stuck out to me. The color was distinct because other photographs had browns or light browns. It’s more interesting to see an object that’s not in its common color catches someone’s eye.

It’s predictable how the texture is going to feel like seeing it. The texture is like a paper crinkled and opened back up.

What I learned about camera exposure and camera modes

Aug10

Camera exposer is about the exposure of light when taking a photo. There are three different types of settings, aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. These three settings make an exposure triangle. Exposure can be like getting rainwater in a bucket you don’t want too much (overexposed) or too little (underexposed). To get a perfect picture, width, time, and quantity will be a main part. For the same amount of rainfall there would need to be a bigger bucket to spend less time in the rain. Rainfall or in other words sunlight is not under your control. The exposure triangle is made up of three types of settings, aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. Aperture can control the area of how much light can come in the camera. ISO controls the sensitivity of the camera’s senser to an amount of given light. The shutter speed controls the amount of exposure given. Each setting can also influence different properties. The shutter speed is about how long light can get into the camera. If the shutter speed is faster, it means it has a shorter time to let light in or exposure. If the amount of time of the exposure doubles it will also double the amount of light. The aperture setting is in control in which area can get light into the camera lens. As the f-stop decreases the camera lens gets larger. Cameras can have a different range values. The aperture setting determines the depth of a photo. The ISO setting is the sensitivity of how much light is coming into the camera. The ISO setting is almost like the shutter speed, but it can determine how much image noise there can be. There are different modes in a camera, and they can influence the three settings. Cameras also have different pre-set modes like portrait, night mode and landscape mode. The modes rely on the cameras metering system to know the proper exposer.
