Great Black and White Photographers part II

   For the great black and white photographers i had chosen Man Ray because he captures the emotion of the photo he makes me feel something just by looking at the photo. Man Ray was an visual artist he spent most of his career in France. he was a significant  contributor dada and surrealist movement.

  Man Ray was born August 27, 1890 in Philadelphia PA.Man Ray dies November 18,1976 in Paris France. He produce a lot of major works in a variety of media but he liked to be considered as a painter the most.He was most know for his photographs he was also a renowned fashion and portrait photographer.

Man Rays story is also being made in a book called "Man Ray " its currently being printed. his photos are being exhibited there are venues coming up to     see in The Phillips Collection in Washington DC October 10, 2009 – January 10. 2010 and University of New Mexico Art Museum Albuquerque, New Mexico February 6, 2010-May 30, 2010

Academic Shoot reflection and critique

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? 
its was hard  to get some of the rules and make the photo look good and when i went to go shoot they didn't act normal and it was hard to get balance because every room is different.2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
during the shoot i thought mostly about how to hold the camera and what to focus the camera on like who well be my subject and how was i gonna frame the subject in the photo.when i went to the class i had set up my camera to look at the girls but they didn't all fit so i to hold the camera different and frame just them.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? i would of been more creative with my picture choose then just getting the basic rule.

4. What things would you do the same?
i would keep my same subjects.
5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?
mergers and lines for sure 
6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?
framing is the hardest for me to find.
7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
simplicity is one i don't understand i don't know to be honest 

Step 2: On your blog copy and paste the link for the student's blog.

Step 3: Write two positive things about the photos.
 1)nice colors 
2)was very creative 

Step 4: Write about one thing that could be improved in the photos.
1)try to make there subject clear to the viewer 

ISO/DSLR camera

ISO 200

ISO 3200 or 6400

1. What are the advantages of shoot at a higher ISO at a sporting event like basketball or a night football game?
because you can get more light in and see the movement.
2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?
The less light you get.and there is enough light already in the room.
3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?
more light you get or is taken in. when there is no light or not enough light.




This simulates a DSLR camera. Make sure you set the camera on MANUAL setting at the top.

List the aperture settings available on this camera.

Shutter Speed

slow Shutter Speed-

fast Shutter Speed-

       

1. If you were assigned to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs night, which was a few months ago, what shutter speeds do you think you would have to shoot at the following events that night I would like you to answer the question for the following two situations:

At the beginning while the sun was still up and the courtyard had reasonable good light

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree-high(fast)
b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings-(high)(fast)
c.) the Stars performance inside the gym-(low)(slow)
d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard(low)(slow)
e.) people streaming in from the front doors(hight)(fast)
f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop(low)(slow)

Towards the end when there is no sun and has gotten dark enough that you can't see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

a.) a booth in the middle of the yard near the Tree(low)(slow)

b.) a food booth outside under one of the big red awnings(low)(slow)

c.) the Stars performance inside the gym(high)(fast)

d.) students dancing near the center of the courtyard(low)(slow)

e.) people streaming in from the front doors(high)(fast)

f.) the basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs at a hoop(low)(slow)

2. List the three settings your camera has regarding setting shutter speed (these are found at #5 on the Shutter Speed website. Explain how each works - DO NOT COPY AND PASTE, use your own words.viewfinde,
1) “Aperture Priority”-, often abbreviated A or Av  on a camera mode dial, is a setting on some cameras 
2) aperture-stop of a photographic lens can be adjusted to control the amount of light 
3)“Shutter Priority”-setting on some cameras that allows the user to choose a specific shutter 
4)“Manual- control of the aperture, and shutter speed is calculated by the camera 
5)“Auto-determine the correct exposure for pictures 

Aperture

aperture setting F2.8

 F16 

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
The most part we should relate aperture is the main subject.
2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture the lest light, the higher the Aperture the more light.
3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?
   The bigger the aperture means that the main subject and background are both in focus but the smaller the aperture means the main subject is focused on and the background is blurry.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

A. What are some of the main points you read about in the website above regarding manipulating images?  how we get and resevive the information,If something is "ethical"by definition it is "conforming to professional standards of conduct " those standards are the ethics themselves, or a set of moral principles or values.

B. What is the philosophy of newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York times regarding image manipulation? They photo shot and edit the photo this makes the video un natural .

C. What do you think are acceptable things you could do to an image and not cross the line unto an unethical manipulation? I think whats executable is changing the lighting of the photo or filtering the color a little and fix the blurriness or fix any mistakes.

On your blog

D. Post the manipulation (this means get that image and post it on your blog) that you think was the most unethical, and explain why you think it was unethical. If you do not know what the word ethic or unethical means, look them up on the internet. It is very important you know what those two words mean. Please write at least 2-3 sentences explaining why you think it is so bad.

this is unethical because its not the original photo.They fixed it up to make her look better but its not what she really looks like.The photo on the right is unethical.

E. Post the manipulation that you consider the least unethical, and explain why you think it is not as bad as others. Please write at least 2-3 sentences explaining why you think this one is not so bad.

This photo is less unethical because its the original photo.Plus they didn't or change anything in the photo.And a other thing is that they didn't need to add or take anything away from the photo
