6. MOVEMENT: 3 Frozen, 3 Blurred

FROZEN MOVEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY:
Very fast shutter speed, possibly 1/1000 or 1/2000
   Not an extremely fast shutter speed, you can see how the waterdrops are halfway between blurry and precise. I would say maybe 1/500
Pretty fast shutter speed to get that movingn person so vivid. Maybe 1/500 or 1/1000

BLURRED MOVEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY:
Slow shutter speed to get that blur, but not the slowest setting because then you wouldn't actually see the person in the shot, they'd already be gone! Maybe 1/30, 1/15
You can barely even see the end of the bus, very slow shutter speed! Again, it's a moving vehicle so not the slowest, but maybe 1/30 or 1/60
Basically the only thing moving is his legs, which you can barely see (they must be moving very fast!)  Slow shutter speed, maybe 1/15

5. Interesting textbook image..

I don't particularly like this photo because it was taken with infrared film, but because it uses so many great techniques: RULE OF THIRDS (road), LINES (road), FRAMING (trees somewhat frame road) and DEPTH OF FIELD (road goes very far in this image).  I could definitely take a photo similar to this, using trees, mountains, and hills to capture divine nature while also incorporating another element, like a road.

4. Map of my neighborhood

3. Words that come to mind with this photo...



Freedom, dawn, old (wooden pier), quiet, cold, peaceful

2. List of pictures I'd like to take...

  1. Close up of a simple object.
  2. Reflections (example: reflection of a house in a lake)
  3. Unusual angles (example: shooting UP the trunk of a tree)
  4. Sky, clouds (that would let in a lot of light so you would need to use a small aperture)
  5. Moon (Would also let in a good amount of light, but using a slow shutter speed would make it look better, taking in the scene more)
  6. Shooting unusual material (glass, wood)
  7. Textures (skin, nature)
  8. Suspended motion (sports, jumping)
  9. Lights
  10. Emotion (screaming, smiling, etc)

1. Camera and Enlarger PARTS



Learning to think like an artist means...


Looking at things more closely than most people do

Finding beauty in everyday things and situations

Making new connections between different things and ideas

Going beyond ordinary ways of thinking and doing things

Looking at objects in different ways in order to generate new perspectives

Taking risks and exposing yourself to possible failure

Arranging items in new and imaginative ways

Working hard and at the edge of your potential

Persisting where others may give up

Concentrating your effort and attention for long periods of time

Dreaming and fantasizing

Using old ideas to create new ones

Doing something simply because it’s interesting and personally challenging to do

MY THOUGHTS:

Altering reality for the sake of photography

Analyzing, making the seemingly simplest things be the most complex.



Capturing emotion in a single second


Being able to look at your surroundings and see art beyond reality.
