9/11 Compositions: Balance

I think this photo shows balance because the 3 men in front are running away from the ash and debris in a triangle/geometric shape.

9/11 Compositions: Rule of Thirds

The World Trade Centers
I think that this shows rule of thirds because the man is standing in the lower right corner of the photograph and the American flag is in the upper right corner.

9/11 Compositions: Simplicity

A picture of planes striking the towers
I  think this image shows simplicity because the sky behind the towers are very calm and plain while your eye is drawn to the tower being struck.

9/11 Compositions: Lines

Falling Man

I believe this photograph shows lines because the lines are pointing towards the ground like the man and the lines draw your eye to the falling man.

Camera History and Information

Camera History and Information

1. The "camera obscura" effect is latin for "dark room". It works (achieved) inside a completely dark room, a tiny hole is created in one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall. 
2. The invention during the 17th century that helped get us a step closer to creating the modern camera was high quality lenses.
3.  The parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce were a glass lens, a dark box, and film.
4. modern digital cameras work the same way as Niepce’s camera because the light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. 
5. Digital cameras use an electronic sensor called a CDD to capture an image.
6. The difference between the auto mode and program mode is in auto mode the camera will completely control flash and exposure while in program mode you can control the flash.
7. Portrait mode is used for blurring out the background. The camera will try to use the fastest available lens settings.
8. Sports mode is used to freeze motion. The camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.
9. You should half press on the trigger button because you get better control over focus,you get faster camera response time, and it encourages better composition.
10. The symbol means that the flash is disabled on the camera. You can use this when the natural light is more dramatic than the flash.
11. This symbol means that auto flash is on.  You will use this when you want the camera to decide if you need more light or not.
12.  If there is too much light the photo will be washed out.
13. If theres not enough light the photo will be too dark. 
14.  A "stop" is a relative change in the brightness of light.
15. The new planet is 1 stop brighter with two suns.
16. If there are four suns instead of one the new planet is 2 stops brighter.
17.  A long shutter speed  has the affect of more light.
18. A shorter shutter speed has the affect of less light.
19. The aperture controls the light before it reaches the film. 
20. When adjusting the aperture you can increase the amount of light by changing the aperture settings from  f16 to f8.

What I'll Remember

I took a picture of this bulldogs stone because it reminds me of my first day of bowie high school. I like it because the bulldog, chair and vines are very clear while in the background the people walking are blurry. This reminds me of my first day because to me everyone was blurry as I rushed to my classes.

My free choice

 I chose this flower as my free choice because I was very proud that I got a clear picture of the flower even though it was extremely windy outside. I think I made this a really cool photo because I captured different flowers in the background. I also love how the flowers in the background are blurred so that you are focusing on the purple flower.
