Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO
F2.8 aperture
F16 or higher aperture
1) We should closely relate aperture to the human eye.
2) The smaller the aperture the larger f-stop the higher aperture the higher the f-stop.
3) Aperture impacts the depth of field by: Wide apertures have bigger depth of field and thinner apertures have less depth of field.
High Shutter Speed:
Low Shutter Speed:
I was not assigned to Bulldogs and Hotdogs.
Three things the camera has regarding shutter speed:
1. ISO2. Aperture3. Shutter SpeedISO 200:
ISO 6400:
1. The advantages of shooting at a higher ISO at a sporting event is that the players won't be blurry.2. The suggestion the author made about low ISO were to try to stick to the lowest iso possible for the best image quality.3. The suggestion the author made about high ISO was to only use it when it is too dark to use the lowest ISO.
Aperture settings: f2.8-f22
Shutter speed settings: 1 sec-1/4000 sec
ISO settings: 100-25600
Academic Photo Preview
The Story: I like this picture because it shows the joy of the two girls when, it looks to me, their science class experiment works. The bubbles come up and their faces light up. Showing that maybe they working hard to get their experiment to work. This photo shows avoiding mergers because the girls shirt blends in with the wall.
1) I think I will want to take pictures mostly inside the classroom, but also a few outside.
2) I want to visit Mrs. Keyes room because she is going to have an interesting lab going on Wednesday. i'm hoping to capture some cool photos. Also, in the art room because they are always doing interesting assignments.
3) I will make sure to vary the photos in shape, color, shades, lighting, and subjects. I also will make sure to get all the photo rules.
Action and Emotion: I really like this photo because it shows the work put into the beautification of the school. The school even has a specific day for al the students to help beautify their school. By picking up trash, planting flowers, and picking up weeds or leaves. This photo shows rule of thirds because the person is in the third.
Most Interesting Stuff: I chose this picture for most interesting stuff because of the dry ice experiment. The whole class has gathered to watch the dry ice as it interacts with water. Balance is demonstrated because there are people are on both sides of the photo.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics
1) Some of the main points I read about were, photo integrity, who's to blame, what is and isn't acceptable for photoshopping, splicing other peoples faces onto different bodies, inserting people into photos they weren't originally in, and minor photoshops that I believe weren't a big deal.
2) They believe that photo integrity should be honored. They have even set certain guidelines at The Washington Post and New York Times for the photographers to turn in the original photos, and then the final composite.
3) I believe making minor alterations to someones features with the permission of the subject is acceptable because it doesn't necessarily change the overall composition of the photo. Also, you have the permission of the subject to do so. However, completely changing the colors, or who was featured in the picture, or splicing heads onto bodies, is not acceptable. These kinds of photoshop completely change the original photo. Also, it makes things worse when no permission is granted to do so.
I believe that this photo is very unethical. The editors took Oprah Winfrey's head and spliced it onto Ann-Margret's body from a completely different photo shoot. To make things worse, no permission was given by either of the two, Oprah and Ann-Margret.
For this picture, I think that the photoshop done was quite minor. All the editors did was change her teeth to make them look better. Nothing was changed about the photo composition.

9/11 Composition Review and Post Reflection
Rule of Thirds- I used this as rule of thirds because the subject is in the third section of the photo.
Simplicity- I used this picture because the subject is clear and focused on the falling man.
Lines- This photo has the lines of the building as the main focus.
Balance- I used this photo because if you split the photo down the middle, there would be people on both sides.
Framing- In this photo the jagged metal is framing the debris in the photo.
Avoiding Mergers- In this photo the child's hair blends in with the mans pants, who is talking to former president.

The Camera
Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved?
Inside a completely dark room, a tiny hole is created in one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall.
2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera?
The modern camera came one step closer when Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.
3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce?
A glass lens, a dark box, and film.
4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera?
Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film.
5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image?
Digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. Photographs are stored on reusable computer memory devices.
"Camera Modes"
6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode?
Auto- The camera will completely control flash and exposure. On most cameras this is labelled "auto", on others simply "A".
Program- Automatic-assist, just point and shoot. Unlike full auto mode, you can usually control flash and a few other camera settings.
7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work?
Portrait is to attempt to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting (aperture).
8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work?
To freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.
"The Half Press"
9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?
"Controlling Flash"
10. What does this symbol mean?
When would you use this?
Disabled Flash
no flash. There are many cases where you may not want flash at all. The mood of the photograph can sometimes be more dramatic when the natural light is used.
11.What does this symbol mean?
When would you use this?
Auto-Flash
In most camera modes, Auto-flash is enabled by default and will automatically fire if the camera thinks it needs more light.
"Introduction to Exposure"
12. What happens to your photo if there is too much light?
If there is too much light and the picture will be washed out.
13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light?
Not enough light and the picture will look too dark.
"The Universal Stop"
14. What is a “stop.”
A stop is a relative measure of light.
15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two suns instead of one?
One.
16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four suns instead of two?
Two.
"Shutters and Aperture"
17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have?
A longer shutter speed allows more light.
Inside a completely dark room, a tiny hole is created in one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall.

"The Half Press"
9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?
This is an easy yet essential skill for beginners to learn. The "half-pressed" button is helpful in many ways, including:
- faster camera response time
- more control over focus
- encourages better composition
"Controlling Flash"
10. What does this symbol mean?
When would you use this?
Disabled Flash
no flash. There are many cases where you may not want flash at all. The mood of the photograph can sometimes be more dramatic when the natural light is used.

One.
16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four suns instead of two?
Two.
"Shutters and Aperture"
17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have?
A longer shutter speed allows more light.
18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?
A shorter shutter speed allows less light.
19. What does the aperture control?
Before light reaches film, it must pass through an opening called an "Aperture".
20. When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light?
The shutter blocks all light from exposing the film UNTIL you press the button. Then it quickly opens and closes, giving the film a brief flash of light.
You can control the length of time the shutter remains open by setting the SHUTTER SPEED.
