1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs night, which was a few months ago, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree FAST
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings SLOW
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym SLOW
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard FAST
e.) people streaming in from the front doors FAST
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop SLOW

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree SLOW

b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awningsLONG

c.) the Stars performance inside the gymSLOW

d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyardSLOW

e.) people streaming in from the front doorsSLOW

f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoopLONG

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.
Auto- shutter speed and aperture are automatic
Aperture priority- set the lens aperture, the shutter speed is automatic
shutter priority- set the shutter speed and the camera aperture is automatically
manual- set both

Then answer the following questions:

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game? get a better image of everything thats going on considering the low lighting
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO? plenty of light
3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO? low light

Africa

I think Nick Brandt is very innovative, and I love how he's approaching photographing these animals. His approach is much more interesting than most, even though not much is going on in them. In a way, they're very insightful and intriguing especially with the color and lighting.

This photograph of a man holding elephants tusks is my favorite because of the color scheme, and the raw, meaningful message it delivers.


Rule of Thirds- the man's head is on the lower right point
Simplicity- there is a simple background and all the colors are very pronounced
Balance- The mans and the tusk even out both color wise and weight wise
Merger- Although on purpose, it seems as if he has tusks.



He uses a Pentax 6x7 and chooses not to use a telephoto lens. It's important because it means he captured close intimate photographs.


Brandt wants to show how threatened these animals are and how beautiful they are just being them.


He wants to capture the animals in a state of being.

"What I'm trying to do is give a sense that this is a vanishing world."

Peer Reflection

The photo that I liked most was framing, it was well done and showed she had scoped out all the angles.






I think the rule she had the most trouble with was simplicity, although she followed through it didn't seem like much time was spent on finding it. Overall, her pictures were very clear and is good at photographing people. I think she could work on making objects appear more interesting.
