Warm Up

1. When looking through these images, I knew that something tragic was going to happen. Each photo showed the wife getting worse and worse as her cancer was taking over. The photo that really was heartbreaking is when her husband started shaving her head. From that moment forward it was so real. I felt very sorry for the husband and wife, because no one should have to go through that. Overall, I felt a great about of empathy towards the husband and wife.

2. When the photographer said, "These photographs do not define us, but they are us" he meant that these photos only show the external portion of there lives. Photographs do capture a lot of what is going on around us or happening on the outside of us, but it doesn't capture our character. It cannot show what kind of person we are or our feelings and emotions. Meaning, the wife did struggle with cancer but she wasn't the cancer. She was much more than her battles.

3. I think I could shoot photos like this if I was in this position because I would want to hold on to those good moments I had with that person. We all experience loss, and go through battles so I know I'm going to go through a tough situation at some point. And when that moment comes, I want to be able to look back on the photos and think about how that battle effected my life but how it didn't define who that person was.

4. If I could write Angelo a letter, I would talk about how deeply sorry I am for him. I would say that him and his wife were good examples of what love is and how he is an amazing person for sticking with her through it all. Also I would say that I know what you went through is going to be very hard but even though he physically lost her all those memories will always be there.

Academic Shoot

Image
The composition rule I followed for this photo is balance. The subject's are the two groups of people. They are both the subjects because the groups are very crucial to this image since they are the focus of the photo. The two groups are balancing each other out. People who are looking at this photo may not realize that this image has more than one subject. However, the photo is focused on the two groups, so if people know the rules for balance in a photo then they will know that the groups are both the subjects. I think I could have gotten a different angle in order to make one group stand out more than the other. To really show what the subject was I should have gotten down on there level and focused in on one of the groups with the other more in the back.  This photo shows rule of thirds. The subject is off centered, which allows the photo to be more visually appealing. The subject of this photo is the boy who is following the rule of thirds. I think it i...

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 b...
