9/11 Compositions- Simplicity

Simplicity
I chose this image because simplicity is all about kind of keeping it simple (lol) yet making

9/11 Compositions- Rule Of Thirds

The Rule Of Thirds
I chose this image because the photograph considers the path of the moving smoke and it doesn't seem like there's only some smoke or the HUGE amount of smoke that was actually there. To me, it also seemed like the buildings were placed were the vertically and horizontally lines are connecting in the grid of Thirds.


9/11 Compositions- Lines

Lines
I chose this image because the "S curve" because I just liked how it was made by people, but also doesn't have a busy environment/background.The view point was EXCELLENT and I just really thought it represented Lines very well. (Even though diagnal lines are "Dynamic" I liked the "S curve" better.


9/11 Compositions- Balance

Balance
I chose this image because I thought that it was symmetrically balanced and the colors,shapes, and areas of light and darkness were well balanced and everything. In my opinion it was taken at a good view in which the background isn't too distracting or anything.


9/11 Compositions- Framing


Framing
I chose this image because the black things (which I'm supposing are buildings) on the side are basically surrounding the exploding buildings as if it were a "frame" and that is the point of framing.

9/11 Compositions- Avoiding Mergers

Avoiding Mergers

I chose this image because the image is focused on the principle subject only and not be destracted by the backgroud, which is the main point in Avoinding Mergers.

Negative and Positive pics

Some differences I noticed when comparing both pictures where that:
  • The negative picture is the opposite from the positive picture and vise versa.
  • the colors changed, the negative picture took everything that was dark and took it white. Then, when we turned them into positives, the white part became dark/black and the dark/black parts became white.
  • To me it seemes like in the negative picture, the trees were somewhat smaller than when I looked at them in the positive picture, but maybe I'm just halusinating.
I kind of liked the picture better in negative, just cause you can see it better and like just not see all dark/black.

Gamut- a complete range or extent

Pentaprism- reverses images laterally and reflects them to the viewfinder


Aperture- it limits the amount of light that is been passed through a lens


Shutter- a mechanical devise that allows the aperture to open or close so that it doesn't expose film


Exposure- when you allow a photosensitive surface to rays of light


Depth of field- a range of distances through the axis of an instrument object in which it will produce a relatively distinct image


F-Spot- the setting of an adjustable lens aperture in which is shown with an F number

Pinhole Cameras



I didn't like this picture at ALL because I think it was kept too simple, I mean it doesn't really have anything to it.

There isn't anyone in this picture except for the vases.There isn't a blur what so ever to it or a type of warping going on. The vases are in focus, but the background isn't, it's somewhat softer.

Pinhole Cameras



I really liked this picture because to me it seems like somewhere I would like to be at that moment. I love the view and how Rayn Maloney took the picture. It's a true scenic view.

There is no person in the photo and I really don't see it blurry or warpy. The middle, which is like the road and the snow around it was the more focused thing. I think that the trees were out of focus.

welcome to my blog!
