Academic Shoot

Rule Of Thirds:

1. The composition rule I followed is rule of Thirds and I believe I followed the rule because the girl is to the left of the picture.
2. The subject of this photo is the girl to the left.
3. I believe it is clear to see what the subject is.
4. If I could have made this more clear then I would have maybe put her a little more to the left and maybe blur out the lockers so that is not a distraction.`

Merger: 

1. The composition rule that I followed was merger and I think I followed this rule because there is a block in front of her.

2. The subject of the picture is the merger which is the pole and the girl.

3. I think the subject is not clearly seen because of the merger.

4. I think for me to make this picture better I could have not included the merger and focus on the girl.

Simplicity:

1. The composition rule I used is simplicity and I think that I followed this rule because it is just the boys and computers.

2. The subject in the picture is the two boys working on their computers.

3. I think that the subject is clearly seen because the picture is very simple and is focusing on the boys 

4. What I could have done differently to make this picture even better is to go closer up and not do an overhead shot.

Framing:

1. The composition rule is framing and I think I somewhat followed this rule because there are distractions.

2. The focus of the picture is the girl working on her artwork.

3. I think that the focus is clear because the girl is in the center of the door which acts as a frame around the focus.

4. The things I can do to make the picture better is to show more of the doorframe and not see the other doorframe.

Balance: 

1. The composition rule for this is balance and I think I followed this rule somewhat because the one girl to the left is cut off.

2. The focus on the picture are the students on each side which shows balance.

3. The focus of the picture is well shown but could be better. The reason it is shown is there are people on each side.

4. What I could do to make this picture better is include the other person on the left and take the picture not at the angle but in the center.

Lines: 

1. I think I followed the rule of lines because it shows the rows and lines of the desks and students.

2. The focus of the picture is the lines of the desks and rows of the students.

3. The focus is somewhat clear in this picture because it is showing the lines of the students however, there is a lot going on.

4. The thing I could have done to make this picture better is to not make it so cluttered and cramming as much as I could into one picture.

Great Black and White Photographs Part two

Ansel Adams was born on February 20, 1902 and died on April 22, 1984. He was born in San Francisco, California. He got his education from Yale and Hardvard University. His jobs were being a photographer and a Conservationalist. Some of Adams most famous books are The Print and The Camera. Some awards that Adams has one are the Hasselblad Award, and Presidential Medal of Freedom. He mostly took photos of landscape black and white. A lot of his pictures have been widely produced on calendars, posters, and books.Adams first portfolio is called Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras. He used the Korona view camera to take his most famous image in that portfolio called Monolith. Even though Adams is most known for his black and white photographs he also worked with color as well. He invented the zone system which basically allowed photographers to have better control over finished products/photographs. He also created the idea of visualization which measured the amount of light values on the photograph. Adams dies in ICU on April 22, 1984 in the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey, CA. He was 82 years old and he died from cardiovascular disease. He had a wife, two children which were named Micheal and Anne and also he had five grandchildren.

Academics and community Service

1.  I picked the photo of the man standing in science gear and pouring the two different colorful liquids into the beaker.

2. The rule of photography that I see very much in this photo is balance. I see this because there is one beaker in the center and then the man is holding two beakers one on each side which balances everything out.




1. I think I could get photos like the ones I saw today by going into science classrooms while there is a lab going on so I can get the students in action.

2. The classroom I would like to visit and take photos in is Ms. Keyes classroom to get the pictures of students while doing the science lab.

3.  As a photographer I will make sure to get under and on top to get an overhead and under view at different levels and perspectives. As well as try to keep balance and framing and all of the rules in place.

Filling the frame

This picture is shown filling the frame because everywhere there are people left right up and down and the picture is filled up by people and supplies for the homeless.

Action and Emotion

I think that tis picture shows the most action and emotion because of the bubbles floating in the air. This picture was obviously taken during an action and the look of the students face looks happy.

The Story

This photograph shows the best story because I think that these are students who come here every morning to pray before the school day around the flag pole.

Rule of Thirds

I picked this picture for the Rule Of Thirds because the smoke is coming from the building on the far right and traveling to the left or the other side of the picture.
