The flag on this photo is basically the frame because of the outline of the flag and so the viewer can see the wellness of the flag.

Balance
On the photo above the person that is looking at the photo can see the balance between the light and the sky.
Lines
The lines on this photo takes the person that's looking at it to the center of the photo and then the person can see that happen.
Rules of thirds
On this photo as you can see is has the Rules of thirds because it has the photo centered.
Simplicity
On this photo the woman experienced the ash after the twin towers fell and this photo is Simplicity because the woman stands out
Elements of Art and Principles of Design
Line : Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.
I choose this photo because of the lines on the poles and that it stands out to the people looking at the photo.
Shape Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.
I picked this photo because of the shapes the photographer used on the benches.
Color Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.
Value (Tone) Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between. Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.
Form Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.
Texture Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless. Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.
Space Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.
As you can see on the photo it has a lot of space involved in the photo.
Balance Balance is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art. There are three different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. The human figure is symmetrically balanced; the same on the left and right side. The tree is asymmetrically balanced; its branches are not distributed equally on each side, but their total weight is balanced left and right. The sun is an example of radial balance; all its rays are equal in length from the center
Contrast Contrast is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas. It is used to make a painting look interesting.
Emphasis Emphasis in the focal area of an artwork gives it importance. An artist may stress some elements of the design over others. The eye of the viewer will focus on the area of emphasis or center of interest first, then take in the rest of the composition.
Movement Movement in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area. Movement is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position. Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with the placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.
Pattern Patterns are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again. Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.
Rhythm Rhythm is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms. Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly. Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music.
Unity Unity means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony. Unity brings together a composition with similar units. For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.

I chased this photo because of the texture that really shows

Great Black And White Photographers Part 2
Yousuf Karsh
Yousuf Karsh
Born on December 23,1908 Died on July, 13, 2002
Born in Mardin, Turkey
For his Education he briefly attended school there and assisted in his uncle’s studio.
Karsh was a master of studio lights. One of Karsh's distinctive practices was lighting the subject's hands separately.
Some of his published work are
- Faces of destiny; portraits by Karsh (1946)
- Canada: as seen by the camera of Yousuf Karsh and described in words by John Fisher (1960)
- In search of greatness; reflections of Yousuf Karsh (1962)
- Karsh portfolio (1967)
- portraits by Karsh (1968)
Photo manipulation and Ethics
- The reading was about what happened on April fools and why they named the first day of April "April fool's day''. The reason they named it like that is because on that day photographer Menahen Kahana edited a photo to make The United States think they send 4 missiles but in reality Israel only sent missiles.
- I think that the type of photo editing is unethical because you can see that they edited the photo.
Not good
This is not a good one because as you can see as you can see, the woman had tooth job and makes there teeth look better, and on the other photo the same woman's teeth don't look so good.
Okay
As you can see Opera's head is put on Ann Margaret's body, but they made the photo look realistic and believable.

Post Shoot Reflection
http://lesliereneecontreras.blogspot.com/
- I like how the photos are clear.
- One other thing i like is how the angle you used to capture the photo.
- One thing you can improve is labeling the photo, zooming in on the metal.
National Geographic
The photo you see is my favorite because i like the details on it and also the colors it has. The one that took the picture took the photo at a good moment.
i would take a photo of a flower because its illustrates the world because its sensitive. The little things can do a big change on the world.

Auto- The camera will completely control the flash and exposure Program- Automatic-assist, just point and exposure
7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work?
Making the background blurry and focusing on the person, or thing
8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work?
To freeze motion camera will use the highest shutter speed Possible
Half press
9. Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?
Because a half press on the trigger button because there is a faster camera response time, more control over focus, and it makes it better composition.

Auto flash
When would you use this?
doesn't matter

Your photo will be washed out
13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light?
It might be to dark What is a “stop.”
The Universal Stop
14. What is a “stop.”
Is a relative measurement of light.
15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two sons instead of one?
The new planet is going to be one stop brighter if there are two suns instead of one.
16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four sons instead of two?
The new planet is going to be two stops brighter if there are four suns instead of two.
Shutters and Aperture
17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have?
More light
18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?
Less light
19. What does the aperture control?
Is like a pupil.
.20. When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light?

Best Photo
As you can see, the picture above it's the best picture i took so far, the reason why because like how both of the people in it are focused on one place.
Worst Photo
This picture is not the best i took, because it came out a little blurry and it didn't involve both of the people that were in front.
