Web quest Reflection

I was pretty familiar with the majority of these photography concepts but I was not aware of the purpose behind the leave room and the rule of odds. Those two concepts allow for a greater amount of emphasis on the main subjects of the photo and remove potential distraction as well. The rule of odds was the most interesting idea because it explains the strange fascination we have when things are organized in odd number (1,3,5, etc.) The leave rule was also pretty useful though because it allows basic photography like selfies and portraits to be more dynamic.

Still life

1. I liked the idea of a metallic theme to every piece in the shot
2. direct lighting
3. levels, shadows, highlights
4. Maybe adjust the angle of the shot

Questions
1. I like the last shot best because I like seeing the varying ranges of green throughout it
2. The second shot
3. line and texture
4. The last shot because the filter enhanced the color range

Ted questions

1) The most important aspect was imagination because that was the root of his art.

2) The most interesting thing about his work was the fact that he didn't need to be in the right place at the right time but rather planned out how he could create it. He focused on putting himself in situations where he could maximize its potential.

questions
1.  I have no idea what is about. I just thought it looked cool
2. It was fairly easy to find the resources because I had most of them already from the landscape in a bottle
3. Brush tool, layer masks, clipping layer
4. Could be larger

HDR Photography

HDR photography stands for high dynamic range. These photographs are able to capture both ends of the light and dark spectrum using an unusually high dynamic range. To achieve successful results, you can take a range of picture of the same subject and blend them together, or using a camera that has auto bracketing mode.

I like this image because it does a really good job of capturing the different vectors of life. It looks pretty surreal.

Exploring Landscapes

1. I did use rule of thirds. I emphasized land
2. Proportion, I used it to
3. A little after noon. I thought it was. It highlighted the foreground.
4. I tried to keep them relatively similar in size

Landscape photography

1. The macro lens was actually fun to use
2. The second one, I liked seeing the folds on the flower
3. The third one
4. Balance and emphasis in the third picture

Cinema graph

1.  I wanted to make it look like he was blowing bubbles forever. I think I succeeded at that idea
2. I was more involved in the technical portion because the video work had already been shot
3. I would have had the bubbles stay instead of letting them disappear
4. Nothing really. It was pretty straightforward
5. I was sick, didn't really have a team.

Questions

Station 1

1. It was not easy to get a good shot because it was difficult to find a good focus point

2. I liked shooting with the flash because it highlighted a lot of the changes in the surface of the water'

Station 2 

1. The timing of the drop was difficult to get right

2. Pictures were sorta poorly lit

Questions
1. I used my iPhone camera because it was quick and convenient
2. The second frame because it looks like he broke his neck
3. It was interesting seeing motion portrayed through the motion blur
