Final Exam

4)

The picture above was my transformative photo. It changed my view on photography because I found out how pictures can be angled to be more dramatic and mysterious-looking.

5) The element shape involves geometric 2D shapes such as circles and squares or organic, free-flowing shapes. They give me a feeling of flatness and simplicity. Forms involve three dimensional objects showing length, width, and depth. Form pictures display vividness and pop out at you.

6) A picture involving patterns include a symbol or shape appearing throughout the picture. That gives the picture a recurring theme on all its parts. A repetition picture uses pattern to make the picture seem more active and creates unity in the picture. Repetition gives a feeling of energy when looked at.

8) Last Three Projects:

Final Project

Presentation Project

Commercial Shoot Project

I believe my best work was the Commercial Shoot Project. This is because I learned ways to emphasize an object and make it better- looking by angling, applying lights onto, and editing pictures of the Nike Shoes. This project changed me because I learned how to make a specific item look more glorified and better. I saw photography different because I had acquired new photography skills on how to make something look better.

Story With a Photo - A Crowd Forming

This picture tells the story of the beginning of each lunch period during multicultural week. Enormous amounts of students pour into the horseshoe area to prepare for immense spending. Most prepare to wait in line to buy tickets while those who preordered tickets begin to buy food. This results in a very crowded space in the horseshoe parking lot.

MSJMCW Story

Partner - Jonathan Luo

On a weekday morning, the thought of purchasing tickets, the currency for Multicultural Week, and food plagues the minds of students throughout MSJ. Freshman eager to participate in the festivities go online to pre-order tickets. Most of everyone else decide to wait in a long, grueling line to purchase their tickets. When the time finally comes, leaders from each club gather to their booths and stands to prepare for the onslaught of hungry, restless students ready to pour money into the overpriced selections of nourishments to the booming music in the background. In the midst of eating a one dollar burger that costed them four dollars, the thought of wasted money finally pours into the students' minds. After an extremely long one hour and eight minute lunch period, some students throw away their trash into garbage bins while others litter onto the ground with ease. The club leaders begin to gather the leftovers and equipment to leave. Thus, the day has finally ended.

Principles of Design - Unity

Increased contrast and saturation. The children in this image are united.

Shutter Speed and Everything After

Partner: Frankie

Shutter: 1/1000

1. This picture utilizes a fast shutter speed because of the moving trucks on the right side. A quick shutter speed is needed because the vehicles move at a fast speed.
2. One rule of composition that applies here is space to move. This is because the image shows the foward path for the trucks on the right.
3. The Line element of art applies here because of the lane line and divided in the middle.
4. This photo emphasizes movement. You first look at the truck on the left, then the near one on the right, then the truck farther down.

Best Represents Variety

Picture 4 was the best representation of variety in "Documenting the Blues in the Mississippi Delta".  I believe this was the best choice because of the different pictures being hanged on the wall.  There's Malcolm X, the great civil rights leader, and then two pictures of scantily clad models next to him. In addition there are numerous sports flags arranged in a row beneath those pictures. All of these elements contrast each other in that they are unrelated and yet all very important to the people in the bar where they are hung.

Principles of Design - Repitition

Increased Saturation. There is a pattern in all the plants and petals.

Principle of Design - Balance

I increased contrast and cropped the picture. There is balance between the two sides of the building.

Increased saturation and there is emphasis on the plant.

Period 4 - Semester Final

1. Picture 7 on the slideshow was my favorite picture. It was my favorite because of the large range of colors, its interesting feel of depth, and the dark and light nature.

2. The best photo of the slideshow was picture 5. It was the best because of the use of depth of field, many details, like the objects on the beach or the subtle waves in the background, and the organization of the parts of the photo. The photographer cleverly used the row of rocks to create a feeling of layering for the picture.

3. I feel that my best work was the Master of Photography project. http://jasonyuthegreat.blogspot.com/

This was my best work because of three reasons. First of all, I put in a lot thought and effort into these works. I always sought to take pictures whenever I felt that something interesting was nearby. If given more time, I would have added pictures I had taken during my trip to Yosemite as I took many interesting photos.

4. My three rules of composition are simplicity, depth, and space to move.

5. The photo below, Relaxing at the Beach, was taken during a beach trip and illustrates my ability to apply the rules of simplicity and depth. 
  

6. Your first rule of composition is depth of field. It is very important because it dictates what the picture is supposed to mean to the viewer. Depth of field tells people what they're supposed to be focusing on in the picture.

7. There are many benefits with working in a group. Advantages includes receiving help, being able to help others, getting new thoughts and ideas, being able to know more about other people, and the distribution of work.

8. Downsides to group work include needing to rely on others, not wanting to let group mates down, disagreement among groups, the dislike for a certain individual, and there could be a freeloader, a person that does no work, in the group.

9. The picture below was taken by a fellow classmate, Darin Chamberlain.

10. The photographer I based my project on was Oskar Barneck. His major contribution to photography was the invention of a 35mm camera which made mobile photography possible.

11. Dorothea Lange's most popular photo is the photo of a migrant poverty-stricken mother holding her two children. It was taken in Nipomo, California. She was employed by the FSA, or the federal farm security administration.

12. Henry Luce created Life Magazine on March 1st, 1967.

13. Robert Capa was a founding member of Magnum Photography, that was started in the year 1947.

14. Robert Capa took the picture "Falling Soldier" in Vietnam on September 5, 1936, during the Vietnam War.
