2. Explain how we use blogger.com in this class. We see the post the teacher gave us on http://www.akinsphotojblog.blogspot.com/ to do and we basically answer it on our blog at http://www.blogger.com/ and post them as a post on our blog.
3. Explain the process of creating a pinhole camera. Get an oatmeal can and cover the inside with black construction paper with nothing but black showing. Also cover the cap. But make sure it will still be able to close. After make sure that everything is black. Cut a door about 1.5 inches on each side (only 3 sides! the other side is still stuck on the can, gets a door figure). After that, but a piece of foil covering the square where you can see through the door you made. Put the shinier side facing out. After that put a half a needle through the foil, right in between! So that when you open the door a little light goes through.
4. Explain how the pinhole camera works and how the image is transferred to the paper inside. Put the picture paper in the pinhole camera. The pinhole camera works better with objects that arn't moving, if your a begginer. If its more light the lesser senconds you leave the door open. The less light the more seconds you leave the door open. You can't move the pinhole camera or the picture will come out blurry because of the moving.
5. Know how to define and explain the 10 rules of composition, these 10 rules will be a MAJOR portion of the final and you better know how to recognize these rules, explain these rules and show me you understand them:
5a. Rule of thirds- Its a picture cut into 9 squares. You want to put the main subject at the very far end of the left or right side. So the subject in the picture has somewhere to go and room to go somewhere.
5b. Balancing Elements- Is to where you put your picture and make sure you show it's balance and where the subject isn't falling out of your picture.
5c. Leading Lines- Any lines in the photo showing it's balance and leading the way to it's main subject in the photo.
5d. Symmetry and Patterns (repetition)-Where the main subject or whatever your picture is, repeats. (Like on the picture of lisa simpson on the plane her picture repeats on the seat screens.)
5e. Viewpoint- Is where you can see the subject in different view points. Like taking a picture of someone from the top or the bottom. If someone is working on something you can stand on a chair and take a picture from the top, which also makes the picture better because you can cut off the people from the backround.
5f. Background/simplicity- Is where there is only "one" main subject in the picture. Nothing else in the backround but "only" that subject.
5g. Create depth- Is where you can tell the depth of the picture. Like taking pictures of a mountain range you can see the different hights. Picture can be 3-D, makes it seem like you can step in the picture easily.
5h. Framing- Is where you take a picture and something can frame your picture. Like trees on the edges of the picture, also balancing it.
5i. Cropping- Is taking a picture but as in taking picture of an eye ball. Cropping everything else of the subject and focusing on something of that subject.
5j. Mergers and avoiding them- Mergers are things that arn't supposed to be in the picture. Like when someone takes a picture behind a tree and it seems like something is coming out of their head. Avoid mergers!
6. Explain how action and emotion impact a photograph- Action and emotion impact a picture because it makes the picture more interesting and wants the person on the picture to think about what the picture is doing or what is happening.
7. Explain how a photo can "tell a story"- A picture can tell a story by whats happening in the picture and you can tell what is happening or what is going to happen.
8. Explain what the word "multimedia" means and share some examples of how we have seen them in class (on the blog)- Videos, text, graphics, images, and audio. We have seen them on the blogs by looking at videos with photographs and audio. It explains the pictures better. Text, which also explains the pictures better. We use it in our blogs to understand pictures and write our opinions about them.
9. Know how to correctly write a caption. I HIGHLY suggest you rewrite the rules on your blog and find at least 2 photos on the internet, post them on your blog and write correct captions for them. This will be a MAJOR portion of the exam as well.
"Justin Bieber wins four AMA awards in 2010 for best new artist, favorite pop/rock album, favorite pop/rock male, breakthrough artist, and favorite artist. Justin posed with his awards and showed how proud he was for his hard work.
"Justin performs "Pray" at the AMA awards while a choir joins in for backround singers/assistance. Justin kneeled down to express his emotions while he performed.10. Explain how "strong action" verbs enhance a caption- It enlarges a caption by the writer explaining more of what is going on in the photograph and telling more detail about it.
11. Explain how ethics come into play in regards to photojournalism and compare and contrast this with fashion photography. You really need to get the idea that changing photos to fit a need or to make something look like something else is VERY unacceptable in photojournalism.- Ethics play a big part in photography because people can change pictures and add things in pictures and that is unecceptable!
12. Explain the difference between a portrait and a self portrait.- A self portrait is when "you" take a picture of your self. Portrait is when someone else takes a picture of someone.
13. Explain what characteristics of a good portrait are.- Characteristics of a good portrait are
14. Explain what the major differences are between newspaper and yearbook. - Newspaper you tell a story for the picture and the subject. Yearbook you write about peoples opinions and the people's pictures, also has spreadsheets.
1. Aperture- A device that controls the amount of light admitted through an opening. In photography and digital photography, aperture is the unit of measurement that defines the size of the opening in the lens that can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or digital sensor.
2. Shutter- A mechanical device of a camera that controls the duration of a photographic exposure, as by opening and closing to allow light coming through the lens to expose a plate or film.
3. Exposure- The image resulting from the effects of light rays on a photosensitive surface.
4. F-stop- Number is a ratio of the focal length of the lens to the diameter of the aperture.
5. Single lens reflex- Is a camera that uses a semi-automatic moving mirror system which permits the photographer to sometimes see exactly what will be captured by the film or digital imaging system, as opposed to pre-SLR cameras where the view through the viewfinder could be.
6. Negative- A piece of photographic film showing an image with light and shade or colors reversed.
7. Positive- A film showing a photographic image whose tones correspond to those of the original subject.
8. Contact sheet- An 81/2 x 11 sheet of photo paper with 6 to 8 color images, generally referred to as proofs.
9. Agitation- Keeping a chemical moving.
10. Enlarger- A specialised transparency projector used to produce photographic prints from film or glass negatives using the gelatin-silver process, or transparencies.
11. Stop bath- An acidic bath that is used after the developer to stop development and reduce fixer contamination.
12. Fixer- Used for processing all commonly used films, including black and white films, colour negative film.
13. Safe light- A light source suitable for use in a photographic darkroom.
14. Burning- Increases the exposure to areas of the print that should be darker.
15. Dodging- Reducing the exposure to areas of a print that would otherwise be too dark (specialized darkroom technique).
