Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

1. What first caught my eyes about this pictures were that they are real people on the pictures. Something particular that made me choose them was that I liked the first one was just a woman that looks like a hard work lady ready to take a picture and the second one looks like a poor mother that her kids are just laying down sleeping and all dirty and she is just looking at them.

2. I see in the first picture a woman ready to take a picture. With that slight smile like should take the picture or not. On the second picture theres a mother that is tacking care of her children that are asleep. Also that her two children that are laying in the ground the one on the right is not wearing a something in the bottom. And she looks tired and sad. I smell in the first picture a woman that was just ready to take a picture with a slight smile. Also I smell like nature like if she lives on a farm. On  the second picture I smell a single mother that is tacking care of her 3 children. I also smell the outside, I smell the city around them. I hear in the first picture just like nature around her, and in the second picture I hear a mother probably asking for help. On the first one I smell nature because I just hear by the wood the background of her picture. On the second picture I hear help because she is just looking at her children that are all asleep. The first image I taste like happiness on the woman because it looks like she is not that rich but is not that poor either. I taste this because I can tell by her slight smile that she wants to give. The second image I taste sadness because I see a single mother that's probably poor and doesn't have enough money to take care of her children. I feel on the first photo that the lady did wanted to take the picture. On the second image I feel that the mother just wants help with her children.

3. I would like to create big pretty posters and put them around the school so everybody can see the my great photographer. Also I would like to do a blog with all the cool pictures taken by him and I would copy the URL and post it on Facebook, Twitter, and etc so everyone could just click it and go and look at it too.

Mural Project Preview

1. Theme I would use for the Akins mural would be sports. I would include soccer, basketball, football,    and softball.
2. I think this theme would take time for devoting because is something that all students from Akins like  or just like to watch  this. I think others would care about this theme because they can probably capture good pictures of them playing.
3. The advantages of tacking pictures with a phone is that you can use your phone and a disadvantage is that the photo won't probably come out good.
4. The advantages of using a SLR camera  is that photos are going to come out good and the disadvantage  is that we don't get to use our phones.
5.  I think we should use SLR cameras because the photos are going to come out better than a phone.

Africa

1. This was one of my pictures because I think, well you can tell that the lion on the left is sad and the lion on the right is giving some support.
2. Its simplicity, because its just on both lions and the background is the sky.

                                                                        Nick Brandt
1. Brandt used Pentax 6711 with only two fixed lenses camera.
2. He works on a combination on epic panoramas of animals with dramatic landscapes.
3. To capture a good spirit of the animal. 
4. "To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera."

Academic Shoot reflection

1. Problems I encounter was taking framing pictures.
2. The technical aspects were focusing the camera to the subject like for example the rule of thirds.
3. Something I would do differently is focusing really good the camera on the subject.
4. Things I would do the same is holding the camera in a good position.
5. I think the easiest to achieve would be the rule of thirds and simplicity.
6. I think the one that would be harder to capture would be framing.
7. The one rule I am still not clear on is framing, something I can do to figure it out is to go over the pictures we've seen before.

Academics Shoot

Lines

1. I think I did follow the rule of lines because majority of the  picture has lines.
2. The subject of the picture is the green thing that covers part of the tennis court.
3. I think it's not one hundred percent clear of the subject if somebody else is looking at the subject.
4. Something I would do differently is try to focus it more on the subject.

Simplicity

1. I think I did follow the rule of simplicity because half of the picture is focus on simplicity.

2. The subject of this picture is the guy standing with the soccer ball next to him.

3. I think it's half percent clear of the subject.

4. Something I would do differently is that had moved more the camera to to the right so it could just be focus on the guy and the background could just be the grass and the sky.

Rule of Thirds

1. I did follow the rule of thirds because the soccer ball is the point of the thirds.
2. The subject of this picture is all the guys trying to get the soccer ball.
3. I think this picture is clear of what the subject is.

Balance

1. I think I did follow the rule of balance because there is a balance between all three guys.
2. The subject of this picture is the guys trying to hit the soccer ball.
3. I do think this picture has the subject clear.

Framing

1. I think I didn't really follow the rule of framing because its not really focusing on somebody.
2. The subject of this picture is the guy trying to kick the soccer ball.
3. I think the pictures subject is not clear.
4. Something I would do differently is that I would of gotten closer to the guy.

                                                                          The Story

                                         
This photo shows the best story because everyone is holding hands, I think the story is there are all praying for something good.

                                                                    Action & Emotion

The action of this photo is the two girls are working on a experiment. The emotions of the girls look happy, they are smiling.

                                                                     Filling the frame 

This photo is filled by people, it can tell that an organization or something are giving food to the elderly people.

I picked this photo because I like how they took it from above his head and its focus on him and the books. I think they are using the framing rule.


1. I think I could take pictures like I saw today like in science classroom or in the gym.
2. I would like to take pictures in Ms. McDaniels or Ms. Medinas classrooms.
3. I would take them really good using the photo rules like framing and simplicity.
