The Final - Slideshow

Three Things I Learned in Photography

1) A photo doesn't have to be something overcomplicated and extraordinary. Sometimes the most simplistic things make for great photography.

2) There are always different ways to take a photo. You dont have to just "point and shoot" anymore. change the angle, depth of field, lighting, setting, etc. Different compostions and views on the same subject can be a drastically new point of view on something simple and ordinary.

3) There are even different ways ro take photos in motion, and depth of field.

Pattern & Texture Critque

How did pattern and texture create dynamics in your photograph?

I used different shapes and objects that were not my typical subjects of my photos so they helped me create new dynamics into my photos.

How did you create a strong composition using pattern and texture?

I mixed the two things in a couple of my pictures and they caused a better understanding of how to use either one or both in one picture.

In what situations would you use a short depth of field for pattern or texture photographs?

When photographers want to capture something thats small in a lot of detail, they use short depth of field to capture the texture and see any patterns in it. This can also be great when you want stuff like that in a magazine or a catalog. Certain patterns and textures can remind people of certain things or make them feel certain ways.

Brainstorm and Planning for "Pattern/Texture"

How can pattern and texture create dynamic photographs?

Different patterns and textures help create different moods and symbolisms when you want something more than a simple picture.

How can a photographer create a strong composition using pattern and texture?

By using certain patterns and textures, a photographer can creating different moods and lighting situations to create more enhanced pictures.

In what situations would you use a short depth of field for pattern or texture photographs?

To get detail in specific patterns or even some textures, so you can get specific when trying to help create different aspects of a photo.

Brainstorming?

I will use some short depths of field and others medium. I don't want to be to far back, cause then I won't be able to get the pattern or possible texture in detail. I also want to use like blankets, something smooth, and possibly eggs.

Critique on "Depth of Field"

Essential Questions:

How did you use aperture to affect the appearance of depth of field in this photograph?

By manipulating the aperture I was able to focus in on one specific object or get all the objects in focus at once. This picture however focuses on the motorcycle up front.

How did you use depth of field to impact the expressive qualities of your photo?

I wanted certain objects focused at one time and others all together. Therefore, I used different aspects of my aperture to focus. By doing so, I was able to capture better detail of the motorcycle in this picture than if I simply took a picture of everything.
