Best Photos Of 2013

I think this picture is really interesting because its a really dangerous storm but it looks so beautiful. The way this picture is its kind of off center so the photographer used the rule of thirds to make it so much more attractive. This is a dark eerie photo but sometimes dark is beautiful and soothing.
I think this photo is a cool photo because its a little desert fox so its really cute to the eyes and the background was a desert biome so the fox goes great with this background. This picture has the most interesting concept to it its a simple concept and can be categorized as simplicity. The edges of the fox are really defined and sharp although the background is blurry its a great photo.
In this photo is a field of crops surrounded by cherry blossoms, in my opinion cherry blossoms are very beautiful and has a beautiful shade of pink that anyone would like. Cherry Blossoms are on trees and the trees are kind of out of the frame but are still noticeable. This photographer did a good job on this photo this shows the element of balance.

Aperture

F2.8 Aperture
F16 Aperture
1. We should associate aperture with probably the face or the torso area.
2. the smaller the aperture the brighter the picture is and the lower the definition is, the higher the aperture the darker and more defined the picture gets.
3. it impacts depth of field by focusing on something so the background is usually blurred or just dark.

Academic Shoot Reflection

  1. The main problem was getting the pictures to not be blurry other than that the rules were pretty easy to follow you just have to put thought and your own imagination to make it your own work.
  2. The focus, Framing and Holding the camera good enough to get good pictures. To get that i basically held my breath and held the camera really still.
  3. I would try to not have crappy pictures and focus more on actually getting some good shots instead of trying to just get it done.
  4. My ideas were pretty good so i would keep my concepts and help the camera focus.
  5. In my opinion it would be the lines or avoiding mergers because they have the simple concept to follow and its easier for me to take a bad picture than any other rule.
  6. Framing
  7. Nothing

Academics Shoot

                                                                            Lines
I followed this rule somewhat bad because i meant for the lines to be the lining up of the desks but it was put somewhere irrelevant. The subject is supposed to be the desks going diagonally in a line. In this picture the subject is very unclear and most people wouldn't get it. I should have aimed and guaranteed a line visible to everyone.

                                                                         Simplicity
In this photo i kinda followed the simplicity rule the only flaw is that its poorly thought about and shot. The subject is the drawing and its mega interesting. This shows a clear dominant image and subject shown by the artwork. I could have just shot this picture better or just took a picture of something simpler than this drawing.

                                                                     Rule of Thirds
I followed this rule kinda poorly too. The subject of the picture is a grow of students working in history class. If you were to see this picture you could very easily see the subjects of this photo. I followed this adequately all together but there are still some improvements i could make like make the picture less blurry.

                                                                             Balance
This picture was poorly shot as well. The subject of this picture is the two students standing equally apart. When you see this picture the subject is clear in every way. This photo can be improved greatly by just simply just taking a more balanced photo than this.

                                                                            Framing
I feel i followed this rule good. The subject of the picture is the  students clumped together and the frame of the picture is supposed to be the higher wall on the ceiling. The subject in this picture is clear and is also interesting. I could improve the quality.
                                                                 
                                                                     Avoiding Mergers
I followed this rule pretty good. The subject is the student in the black shirt but the one that has the texas jacket is being cut off and is blurry. The subject is clear in this photo but its blurry at the same time. I followed this rule great i mean who can't take a bad picture.

Academics Shoot Preview

The Story
It shows how two people are working together to create a light source i think the story behind this is they were in class and the electricity went out and they used those tools to create a source of light so they can work normally.
                                                                      Action or Emotion
It shows the two students messing with the teacher and it shows a whole lot of happiness between them this photo is a good way of expressing the feeling of happiness.
 Fills the Frame
This shows students helping the homeless by handing out food and drinks this certainly fills the frame of the picture with a lot of action and and people.
I picked this Photo because i like music so by putting the liquid on a subwoofer and making it bounce like that just seems cool to do this shows emphasis on the subwoofer and the bouncing paint in the middle.

I could take pictures like these in many places like my classes and the office and the theater and all that good stuff. I would like to take pictures in the theater class or possibly my english class. I will try to practice putting stuff in the frames and lining it all up i will also try to improve on my steady hand so i can get more clearer pictures.
