Great Black and White Photographers Part 3

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? That he took photos that caught your eye. cause there was on that a guy was sitting there and he looked sad because right next to him there was a women and a man kissing. That they have a story.

see:There is a guy that looks upset that there is a girl and a guy kissing, i think it looks like she is cheating on him.

I smell:Smell the smoke from the guys cigarette

I hear: The silence 

I taste: The smoke taste

I feel: Upset, sad, down

see: The ear that is listening to the world

I smell:The smell of gravel

I hear: The wind passing by the rocks

I taste: The dryness in your mouth

I feel: At peace with everything

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? 
That it was hard to find picture that had one of the rules. You had to really look for that rule that you wanted.

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.
I was thinking of focusing the camera. i use it before i took a picture and i waiting till it looked at its best and then took the photo

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
I would concentrate more on

4. What things would you do the same?
that i took a lot of photos

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?
The easiest rule i think will be Simplicity

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?
Balance

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
The rule of Balance. look back at the post i have and see from there.

Academic Photos

Rule of Thirds

Because the girls are on the middle left part of the photo.

 Simplicity
Because the background of the photo isn't distracting.

 Lines
The lines on the paper

 Framing
The cabinet and the table are framing him

Merge 
The two guys are merged they look like they have two heads on one body

Balance

There are the guys making a triangle.

Filling the frame

This is the most interesting to be because she is in a cooking class and you always want to know what someone is gonna make. so thats what i found interesting about it.

Action and Emotion

This photo has the best action and emotion because there laughing and one of the guy is playing around with the teacher. there all expressing emotions.

The Story

It a story of someone helping someone out one step at a time. its like one of them is telling the other what to do and they are doing it together.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 3 prompts (Red, Metal, Happy)  That it was hard to find good photos that had what we were looking for and that it i wanted it to be of something. 

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. i thought about focusing and holding the camera. I need to focus the camera so the picture would look good and i need to hold it right so that you could see the picture straight. 

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? i would trying to use some of the terms that we have learned like balance, the rule of thirds, etc..

4. What things would you do the same? i would try to take the same photos cause the photos i took had a good quality.   

5. Finally - go back and edit your blogs with the 3 photos (red, metal, happy), tell me what rules of composition (which you just learned about) did you end up actually achieving? Did you have any? I didn't really have any rule.

6. Are you interested in shooting those prompts again, why?  i am so i can use the new terms and new things to do when you take a picture.
