2.The best picture from the slide show was picture number nine. This picture was the best because it was taken from a really good angle, and there were many different shades of gray which helped to show that the picture had a lot of depth. The branches and leaves at the top of the photo made a really good frame for the picture as well.
3. My best work this semester was this picture. I feel like this was my best photo because it showed shallow depth of field. The colors were very vibrant and this photo also demonstrated the rule of simplification. If I had more time, I would have tried to take a photo of something more exciting.
4. My three rules of composition are viewpoint, color and using diagonals.
- Viewpoint: viewpoint is the position from which you photograph the subject
- Color: Color of the photograph is what adds emotion and mood to your photo
- Using Diagonals: Diagonal lines can draw the a person's eyes through the photograph and can also convey depth. This rule uses vertical, horizontal and converging lines as well.
5. This photo can apply to two out of the three rules of composition. The rule of viewpoint and the rule of using diagonals are shown in this photograph. Diagonals and lines can be found along the edge and side of the building. the diagonals also showed depth and how long the sidewalk was. This photo portrays viewpoint because the angle I chose the photograph this building allowed the side of the building to look like a mirror that reflected the people, the trees and the other buildings as well.
6. Mr. Farley's first rule of composition is to get closer to the subject who you are photographing. The closer you get to your subject, the better your picture will be because it gets rid of unnecessary backgrounds and can help focus on your subject more clearly.
7. Some benefits to working in groups include:
- Being able to share ideas with other group members.
- Being able to ask your group questions when you don't understand or you didn't hear the teacher's instructions.
- Working in a group makes it easier to find a subject to photograph
- It can be less boring when there are other people you can work with
- Completing a project can also be quicker and easier in a group
8. Some difficulties to working in a group include:
- People may have different opinions on certain topics
- You may have to do more work in a group setting
- Working in a group can make it hard to focus on a single task
- There may be more arguments associated with working in a group
- One person may have to do all the work for the group
9. My favorite project produced by another person in this class was this picture which was taken by Rashi.
A Little History:
10. The master photographer who I studied was Richard Avedon. He was a fashion and portrait photographer who took photos for many iconic fashion magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. He also took photos for Life Magazine. Avedon's photographs were usually in black in white, focusing on the model, with a plain white background. His photos also conveyed a lot of emotion and were usually provocative. Celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, The Beatles and John F. Kennedy were photographed by Avedon as well. Richard Avedon's photography helped define America's image of style, beauty and how photography was taken.
11. Dorothea Lange's most famous photograph was called "Migrant Mother". It was taken March of 1936 during the Great Depression in Nipomo, California. Lange was hired by the FSA (Farm Security Agency) agency to take this photograph.
12. Life Magazine started publishing in 1883, but became Life - Time Magazine in 1936.
13. Elvis was born on January 8, 1935.
14. Robert Capa was the founder of Magnum Photos which started in 1947.
