Semester final part three

In this photo I see rule of thirds. The flames move from the top left corner and end with the bottle down near the bottom right. This cause the photo to have a movement taking up three frames of space. This was achieved by a fast shutter speed.  

Boarder/framing is the rule of this photo. The girl is framed by the green vines on all sides, top, bottom, left and right.  This was achieved by the angle of the shot and the depth. 

I feel that Simplicity is the rule of this photo, and the focus of it the small monkey biting her ear. The rest of the frame is blurred so the only focus is the monkey with the plain background. This was achieved by focusing on the monkey with a close shot. 

This photo's rule is Mergers. The way that the sun was caught in the background to merge with Obama's hands makes him look like he's summoning the sun in his hands. The photographer achieved this by changing angles. 

Semester final part two

The fire is out of control. Local policeman was caught on horse back.  

Rhino goes home. After kept in captivity Rhino was let back into the wild.

Man is killed today. A drug trade went bad, gunman died. 

Planning Ahead: Self Portrait

Okay I plan to take pictures of either myself or my sister. Or both at the same time. The photo's will more than likely, nine times out of ten be taken in the creek/wood things in my neighborhood, just because where else do I have to take photo's that isn't my house? Not many cool places. I plan to try and use the tree's and things to make a odd effect, I might even go for a theme, and dress my sister up, you never know. Things could happen. Lot's of things. It's called creative freedom, an idea might spring to me as I get out there. I'm not going to be boring and stick to what I tell you word for word. Good photography shouldn't work that way.

Photography Self Portraits

1. (Couldn't find credit)

So this picture was the first one I saw in a sea of other portraits so this is the one that I chose to be my first. Obviously I like this one because of the felt mustache and the giant eye lashes. Comical, but also weirdly cute.

2. Abelardo Morell

So this guy is hanging upside-down and then there's the cat that's just sitting there. I just imagine the cat attacking the feet and then there he goes. Crazy photography guy is going down, head first.

Formal Portraits

1. Allanah Ahutchison

Obviously I chose this photo because the baby is cute a doot doot. You can just tell even in black and white that the baby's eyes are green.

2. (Couldn't locate credit)

I like this portrait because  Einstein looks like a crazy old guy who conducts a whole orchestra or something, but you know he would frickle frack it up.

Casual Portraits

1. Stock Photo

I chose this portrait because look at these people. They look like fun people. Look at the dad sandals. Look at that boy and all his sass.

2. Andy Sowards

Much edge. Very punk. So pretty. Wow.

Environmental Portraits

1. Mtomaselli

I chose this photo as the first Environmental Portrait that I liked because of how much wonder was on the little boys face, and how much the mother looked to love her child. It was a simpler photo not much going on except for the boy and his mother, but there was emotion in it.


2. Francine Schaepper

I chose this Environmental Photo because of the movement. The way the skirt looks to flow.

Self portrait preview 2-3 tips.

Bring something to focus your camera on so you can make sure that your photo will be focused on you, the subject when you take the self portrait, and won't be a blurry mess.

A tripod is helpful so you can have further away self portraits, and portraits without the camera in the photo.
