Stock Photography

1. It gives you permission to use that person's face/body in your photography. You need it because some people might not be comfortable being exposed.
2. So buyers can find your photos and it helps categorize your photos.
3. So you're not promoting them without their knowledge or associating them with you and they have no idea who you are.
4. Room for text or logos.
5. They don't have to worry about anyone claiming the image.
6. Anyone can use the same image.
7. Rights Managed photos.
8. RF - anyone can use, not all photographers are careful with model releases. RM - you can pay them to do a shoot for you, and they have all their legal ducks in a row.
9. If you can use pro-athletes photos or not
10. It's interesting because you don't think about it as you shooting and also no one thinks to read the fine print.

Still Life Preview

1. Fruit, furniture, flowers

2. When doing still life, you have to remember that the objects cannot be portrayed as moving or even being alive. You have to also somehow capture the audience's eyes by arranging the scene in interesting way. Lighting is a huge key as well. Your lighting will set the tone, mood, or feeling for these inanimate objects. Shadows can either be an enemy, or a useful technique.

3. Determining the amount of light you will expose.

4. Allows in a lot of light.

2. The train tracks by my home, the woods, the river, graffiti

3. Companies

4. $$$$$$$$$$$$ You get paid for the simplest photos.

PLANNING

1.  Keys, vases, train tracks, paths,books

2. Traveling or busy life.

3. Bright sunset or sunrise

First Free Shoot

 The subject is the flowers.

 The subject is the center of the flower.

 The subject is the eye/pupil/iris.

The subject is the petals of this flower.

1. I'm happy with the lighting and texture in these photos.
2. Next time I'll try to find more presets that fit my shoot.
3. I learned how detail matters and so does the weather(it was windy).

Lightroom Presets

Example:

I want to use the X-Equals.com presets, where they change the tone in the pictures.

Lightroom Practice Free Shoot

The subject is the flag. I'm happy with the amount of focus. Next time I'll try different angles. I learned how lighting can really make a difference.

The subject is the ribbon. I'm happy with the clarity. Next time I'll try to get more background. I learned how detail is important.

The subject is the flag. I am happy with the angle and light. Next time I'll try to keep the ceiling out of the photo. I learned how making sure there's no distracting factors is important.

RAW vs JPEG

PART 1:

What are three advantages of a RAW file:  Admissible in court as evidence because you get all the information, It let's you use your camera to it's full, Lower in contrast

What is one disadvantage of a RAW file:  Requires a special software to view the images.

What are three advantages of a JPEG file:  Take 2 or 3 times more photos, You don't have to process it in software, Sharper images

What is one disadvantage of a JPEG file: Lower in dynamic range

PART 2:

JPEG- a smaller bite, better quality, quick photo option

RAW- a more dynamic, useful, retains more information, little more difficult options for photos

PART 3:

1. It captures all the data without compressing it.

2. You can edit the pixels like your camera would do automatically; i.e. white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colors and saturation.

3. Not every camera has the option to shoot in RAW, takes up A LOT more space, you can convert RAW to JPEG but not the other way around.

 4. For more flexibility and more control over your image outcome.

PART 4:

1. Cloudy days or landscape photo shoots, portraits, if you want highlights/details in your photos

2. Quick shots for sports, macro pictures, anything with low light

Sunny 16 and Basic Exposure Constant

The Sunny 16 should be used because it's going to almost always give you sharp, good photos when shooting outside on a sunny day.
What ISO to use with F 16 (Sunny 16)? ISO 100
A "stop" is a general term used in photography to describe the change in brightness.
How many stops brighter is a room if you start with one lightbulb and then add another?
+2 Stops or double as bright.
 Using the "Standard full-stop f-number scale" what aperture settings represent a full stop worth of light? The next whole number up.

NOTES:

• The proper exposure is determined by the ISO of the film/sensor setting
• For ISO 100, at mid day(10am-5pm) outdoors with sunlit mid-toned object, set the aperture at f16, and the shutter at 1/100th

Camera Simulator Review

PART 1

Reflection Questions:

1. The people become blurry with lower shutter speeds.
2. Change the aperture to a higher one.
3. 1/20

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO Review

Aperture

F 2.8

                                                                             F 16

1. The iris of the eye.

2. The smaller the aperture, the brighter the picture. The higher the aperture, the darker the picture. The higher the aperture, the less depth there is. The smaller the aperture, the more depth there is.

3. Aperture directly impacts how little or how much depth you will see in your picture.

4. F 3.5 to F 36

5. F 3.5 is the smallest and F 36 is the highest.

Shutter

Question:

1. The players will come out in focus while the background would be blurred.

Stick to high shutters that night of Blue & Gold so you can to create a frozen in action like photo.

Fast Shutter

                                                                         Slow Shutter

(1.) In the beginning

 a. Fast

b. Medium

c. Medium

d. Medium

e. Medium

f. Fast

(2.)  Towards the end

a.  Slow

b. Slow

                   Three Settings The Camera has for Shutter:

Auto: automatically sets your shutter for you

Aperture Priority: automatically sets the shutter for you

Shutter Priority: you choose the shutter

Manual: you set everything yourself

Shutter Settings on Our Cameras:

1. From 30" to 1/4000

ISO

ISO 200

ISO 6400

1. Higher ISO is going to give you sharper images, more focus on your subject.

2. Basically use the lower ISO's (100-200) as much as possible, especially when there's plenty of light.

3. Use the higher ISO when there is very little light.

4. 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400

My Type of Photography

The type I chose is: Urban
Example:

    I like this photography because it gives you a different look at everyday life. The colors contrast, sometimes the mood can be raw and at the same time it can be soft. Urban photography means a lot of things so you have more to work with when you go for a shoot. To me, it's exciting because you never know what you'll come across, the city is always changing. I want to learn how to make simple city life come alive in a photograph with objects/buildings/people and what angles to use.

Major Project

Major Project Idea

1. My project will be on how many people in the world have heart surgery and the causes.
2. I'll interview people from the Social Services academy.
3. I'll use photos of hearts or take photos of my interviewees in their uniform.
4. I'll research the statistics.
5. I want to use info gram.
6. This is best for my project because I'll be using statistics.
7. I'll do this asap.
8. See above answer for when I'll embed images.

Newspaper Design

Front Pages of The World

     My favorite newspaper is from Ukraine, and it's my favorite because the entire from page is one big photo and massive headline.

It's from Kiev, Ukraine.

My favorite headline is the only one you see because it definitely catches the reader's eye and quickly tells them what they want to get across.

There is only 3 stories.

The things newspapers have in common are big headlines, one main big photo, generally the main headline has a fancy/different font than the rest of the newspaper.

The difference in newspapers around the world are how they design their layout, what fonts they use, how they position photos, ads, and side stories.
