Landscape Photography

1. Where is one place on the internet you might go to better prepare yourself for the location you are shooting at?  Online map service, such as Google Maps. Google Maps show great detail of locations. 2. What is one app you might download to help you when trying to pick the best angle to take landscape photos?   The app Photographer's Ephemeris that will help you predict the angles of sunrise and sunset. Includes features that will tell you the best angles and when to shot your landscape photos. 3. What is the biggest problem shooting with a zoom or telephoto lens? You want to shoot details from a distance to make the foreground and background to appear to be very close together. The biggest problem with these is they distort the photo , making the sequence harder to put together. 4. Instead of using the HDR method you learned in my class, what is another technique the website suggest would be acceptable for compensating for sky and ground? A ND grad filter can capture both d

Merger Photo Preview

1. A problem with these photos could be avoiding mergers and trying to make every photo have a similar background but just with the subject changing throughout the photo. 2. A great place to take this photo could be in the courtyard or on the football field. Somewhere that has a lot of space. 3. Something creative I could do in the photo is complete some sort of action that flows. For example, I could do a cartwheel and show the start to finish process all in one photo. Also I could spell out something, that has a start to finish as well. 4. I could wear something simple, but also stand out. The main focus of this photo is what the subject is doing, so I would want to make myself noticeable.

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image? You must take multiple photos that are taken at different exposures. You must be able to manually change the ISO and Shutter Speed and different factors in the camera in order to either under expose or over expose your shots.  2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image? The equipment needed is a camera that is able to manually adjust the settings, a tripod to ensure stable shots, and HDR photo blending software.  3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image? Designed to help people take better looking photos. For example, landscapes have contrast between the sky and land which is difficult for your camera to deal with in just one photo. With HDR, you can capture the sky's detail without making the land look too dark and vise versa.  4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might

Runner Up Videos Travis Haughton Photo of stories Bad quality, cannot see all faces, do not like picture of signs Action shots, full body image shots, interesting backgrounds My overall impression of the photographer is that he takes shots of many different things and that keeps his portfolio interesting. However, some of his photos don’t have a clear subject and are not the best of quality. He could have used more rules of composition in photography within his portfolio. Jordan Murph Sports They like his angles, captures the perfect moments, and good graphic composition Do not like colors merging, often no clear subject, bad lighting, posed action I liked the photographers unique angles and composition when taking the action shots. However, sometimes his subject is not clear and the lighting is not set for a certain photo. Also some of his shots are too staged and should be showing more action.
