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.
