How is it photography connects people? As demonstrated by the ted talk. Photography can be used to convey emotion, story telling, and overall beautiful quality that is closest to the eye. In the emotional aspect we can take adoption advertisement images as a prime example. Nothing makes you feel like adopting a puppy more than a black and white picture of a sad puppy. Or consider a picture of a shore littered in fish with no end in sight, as an emotional warning towards global warming, striking fear into the audiences heart.

Of course there’s always the basic, “i can communicate with people across the world,” which you can indeed share a visual experience with someone that otherwise would have never seen something like it. We can use photographs to share experiences in more ways than one, we feel gratitude and awe after looking at the beautiful image of a scenery thousands of miles away.

Synopsis: Black and White photography is an incredibly influential style of photography. Plenty of famous photographers like Aaron Siskind use black and white photography to display their messages. The creation of colored photography was without question a extreme turning point in photography however with it came new requirements for certain “good” photos. One of the reasons is black and white photography allows for a more focused shot on both amounts of adjusted factors in an image and an easier focus. Of course there’s the main factor of the mood it creates, both in taking the image and afterwards.

• You would use external flash in order to create a balance in lighting, when you want your subject as bright as the background or when you want everything in the image to be lit equally.
• If your using flash, you do not need to meter light.
• Flash synchronization is when the flash goes off at the immediate time a picture is taken.
• ETTL means when referring to a flash that it works through the camera lens, adjusting to its settings.
• If you shoot faster than the camera sync speed the camera shakes, and the image becomes blurry.
• Photographers might bounce a flash or use a diffuser to make the lighting softer.
• A slave is something that sets off a second flash.
• If an image comes out either to light or to dark, you should mess with the aperture.

First when choosing what mode to shoot with for photos it’s in between automatic, TV, AV, or manual. Automatic takes the passion from shooting and isn’t ideal for learning. Manual allows for you to mess with all the settings however you please, the main components for shooting would be aperture: the width of the camera shot (wider allows for more light to enter therefor a brighter picture) the shutter speed: the speed at which the camera opens to take the picture (the faster the camera clicks the less light that can get in), and ISO which is basically overall sensitivity. AV prioritizes the aperture so you can set the shutter speed manually again taking from the fun and most of the learning process, and TV prioritizing shutter speed, making the aperture the setting you can alter. Automatic does everything by itself so that all you do is press a button. Then there’s the number of pictures you want to take, a timer and other similar simple features. The most helpful thing is setting your ISO correctly because it’ll make every other setting easier to change. If there’s less light, you’d want the ISO higher. If there’s more light, like outside for example you’d want it low, at around 200. In doors at around 1600. Once you’ve set the ISO at an appropriate range, tweaking the shutter speed and aperture is much less complicated. Another thing to keep in mind is the cameras speed cannot go below 1/60th of a second while being handheld, this is because the camera isn’t still enough and captures shaking. Anything requiring below 1/60th requires usage of a tripod.

The first job that immediately attracted my attention is a digital content producer, someone that works from home. Other jobs are a videographer or an editor in Fontana, an apprentice in photography in rancho, and an automotive photographer in Fontana. The only real requirement for all of these jobs is some type of evidence that you have experience with cameras. Though I’m sure photography 1 isn’t exactly ideal for the job. Of course, the obvious skills you would need would be being able to use a camera, but creativity and constant ideas is also need for this job, based off of the specific job, they require greater more stern proof. I would want this job because you could work from home, assist someone, photograph and make a fairly decent salary for working at home. If I worked this job, I’d likely be scraping by because they all have an average of 58,000 is per year which is not horrible however times are rough in California.

Studio portraits with gel is covering the flash with a sheet of colored paper to give a colored background effect as well as a glow to the subject. Based off the cover which is like a light shade of pink, I get the feeling she has a very strong personality. Based off of her pose I get a very strong sense of confidence which fits in well with the color. It gives a sort of cold feeling as if she’s rather to herself yet confidently loud.

HDR is a photography style with an “unusually high dynamic range,” says “Digital trends.” At first glass it looks like an image with very exaggerated colors, like a surreal sky for example. The target of HDR is always a landscape as well, with the extreme colors tending to be in the clouds or sky. What exactly is HDR? Well one would assume its editing the exposure, or color grid of the sky, but it’s mainly a merging of the same image. Setting a tripod for HDR images is ideal that way the exact same image occurs. The difference between images for example could be cloud positioning. Or something else that could be done is take an image in a spot, and at a very different hour retake the image giving it an extreme range of color and different skies. In this image here for the most part the sky did not noticeably change however it became a very light shade of blue from having been gray, as well as clouds that hadn’t been there previously. The mountain and trees remain in the exact same position and what added a very bright effect, was Soley the sky giving the image a soft sort of lighting.

Critique: Henri cartier Bresson

Henri Cartier is a photographer journalist, born august 22 in 1908. One of the first of his kind of art form. Photojournalism is a more natural state of photography where the images are taken of moments. Moments of interaction and such are perfect for photo journalists. In the top left image a group of men can be seen hanging around at the bank of what appears to be a river. You don’t really know anything of anyone from just the image but you can tell they are enjoying each others company, like they’re having a picnic amongst friends. The upper right is a man and a woman crying in each other arms, we don’t know the situation or anything for that matter but we can see the bond they hold with a single frame as they wipe the tears off one another’s faces. The final image a woman doing another woman’s makeup or touching up her face. You can see from their expressions they’re having fun. When I think of photojournalism that’s one comes to mind, hugging, smiling, and enjoying moments with others.
