Three Pillars of Exposure

 F16 Image Setting

F2.8 Image Setting

1. Eyes
2. The Smaller the aperture setting, the higher the aperture f stop.
3. Aperture is in charge of adding or taking away detail to specific things in the image

1. Takes less time to capture images
2. If there is a lot of light use the lowest ISO to capture high quality images
3. When there is not enough light

Brave Quick Write

I guess the most recent incident on being "brave" would be about three weeks ago when I drove to New Mexico by my self. I drove for 12 hours only stopping for gas or to use the restroom. I left my house at around two in the morning and once you get out of Austin you start driving on these long roads with no lights. The only light visible 100 ft in any direction is the moon and the headlights of my car. The thought of my car breaking down out there in the dark is legitimately terrifying. All alone with no signal on your phone.

Academics Photo Shoot

Framing

I followed this rule pretty well because of the way his head fits on the computer screen as if it is framed.
The subject is his head in front of the computer monitor.
It should be clear that this is framing because of how obvious the frame is around his head.
I could have gotten a closer shot to better define the frame.


Simplicity

I followed this rule pretty well because of the simple phone on the table.
The subject is the phone on the plain white table.
The phone is the only thing you see so the subject is very clear.
I could have moved the computer mouse wire away to make the phone the only thing in the whole picture.


 Lines

I followed this rule perfectly because of the lines on the Air Conditioner were the perfect example of lines.
The subject is the lines on the AC.
The lines really pop out and its the first thing you see so the subject should be easily seen.
I could have focused a little more to get a clear shot of the lines.


Rule of Thirds

I followed this rule very well because of the way I took the picture of the sphere in a very good position for rule of thirds.
The subject is the sphere in the corner.
The sphere is clearly in one of the corners of the image which guides the viewers attention to that corner.
I could have chosen another sphere with less things in the center to better capture the attention to the top right corner.


Balance

I followed this rule pretty well because of the amount of computers and desks on both sides.
The subject is the way the classroom is organized and how the sides balance each other out.
The computers and desks are the first thing you see so you can clearly see how its balanced.
I could have asked the girl to move from the center so I could get an even better example of balance.


Avoiding Mergers

I followed this rule pretty well because of the way I avoided taking the picture of his shirt combined with the red poster in the background.
The subject is shown sitting down working on his computer but the poster in the background matches his shirt, this is where I had to move at a better angle to avoid mixing them together.
I could have tried to focus on the poster a bit more to really show the how similar the colors are.

Room Quick Write

My room at home is very clean and organized. All of my friends walk in there and are amazed at how clean I manage to keep it. I make my bed every morning and make sure everything is in place before I leave. My stuff has a place where it goes, for example my backpack always sits slanted against the wall next to my door.

Great Black and White Photographers Pt. 3

Minor White

1. What first caught my eye when looking at his photography was the scenery. The simplicity of the photos is very plain but he does it so well. I think what made me choose them was the fact that I love photography with scenery and simplicity. Only few can impress me with such strategy and Minor White is one of them.

 I see the repetition of the trees and the continuous line the road makes. The shadows of the trees that reflect onto the road make it look really nice. Also the color of the trees, grass, and clouds look the same which makes the other colors really pop out. For example the road, mountains, sky, and the tree bark. 
I smell fresh cut grass or the smell of the outdoors. I can smell the pavement that heats up against the sun. The smell of fresh wind that the clouds create on this day.
I hear the wind blowing against the trees. The sound of nothingness as I stand out here in the middle of nowhere. I hear my thoughts perfectly in this tranquil scenery of nature.
I taste the cool wind and the moist air on this sunny day. I can sort of taste the fresh cut grass in the air.
I feel peace and calm in this area. Very quiet; makes me feel secure and away from everything else in the world. I feel as if nature is staring right back at me as I stare into it. I feel sleepy as if I can just lay here and sleep away the days.

 I see holes in the wall as if created by shots of a gun. The kid running away with what seems like a piece of cloth in his hand. The blurriness of the moving kid shows that he is running away for some reason. 
I smell wet cement in this old warehouse. The sweat on my neck on this hot sunny day.
I hear the footsteps of the kid as he paces away further up the street. I can hear the cloth flapping in the wind as it follows the running child. I can hear the creaking of the old warehouse as it has aged over the years.
I taste the warm air and the heat of the sun. I can taste the dirt of the floor as the kid ran by kicking up particles of the dirt.
I feel almost in danger. Why is the kid running? Is there someone chasing him? Or is he simply running home?


3. I feel the best way of showing this photographer to others is by a simple power point. The simplicity of this will show the main idea. For example, like the photographer Nick Brandt. His work was shown in a power point with nothing but his work and the main idea really stuck with me.
