 What camera metering mode (evaluative/matrix, center-weighted or spot) did I use for each image and why?
     I used evaluative mode for each image. I tried to use the other modes for the first two pictures I took but realized it was just easier to use evaluative. For the shadow framing, I could have used spot metering so that Alex's face wasn't so dark before it was edited.

 What white balance settings did I use for each image? 
     For the shapes, environment, and shadow framing, I used the shade white balance. For the architectural, I used daylight mode. 

 Do I have a strong composition? Give specific support as to why/why not.
     For the shapes framing, I think I have really good composition. I have leading lines and a center focus. For the architectural framing, I have ok composition. I could have done a better job at taking the picture when she was a little bit more forward and by moving directly in front of her rather than from an angle. For the shadow framing, I really like the image and think there is good composition. I like that her face is on the dark and there's only a little bit of light. For the environmental framing, there is leading lines and a center focus, but I do not really like the image. 

 What would I do differently if I shot this assignment again?
     The only thing I would have done differently was shot a better image for the environment framing and used spot metering for the shadow framing image.

 Do you think your photo(s) should be considered as one of the best from your classmates? Why or why not?
     I think that my shapes framing image could be considered better than some of my classmates. I really like the lighting and think that is was shot well. I also think that my shadows framing image could be good compared to my classmates. I have a feeling that the lighting framing was more used than using the shadows like I did, so I think that it could stand out among my peers.

Assignment #6 Polar opposites

Image
My version of polar opposites is new and old. I used my grandma's and my brother's hand. They are both holding something to represent a very important aspect of their lives. My grandma loves to cook, therefore she is holding a stirring spoon, even if it is hard to tell what it is. My brother loves baseball, therefore he is holding a baseball bat. New and old is not the only opposite I show through these images. My grandma and brother are very different. Gender and age are two obvious differences. My grandma had a different childhood than my brother, different things that are important to them. My brother loves sports, friends, and our family. My grandma grew up in Peru, which shows an obvious difference in her childhood than my brother's. She grew up near the Amazon rainforest, she had different hobbies, a different family dynamic. Though they seem to be so different, they are family, and family loves one another. When I first thought of opposites, I had a hard time findi...

Assignment #24 David Griffin Ted Talk

David Griffin's Ted Talk on How Photography Connects Us discussed the idea that photographs have a powerful impact on the photographer and the audience viewing the image. Photos tell a story and connect us to people, places and things that unfamiliar and different to what we know. A photographer can do more than just capture an image. They can express feeling and tell a story. In the talk, Griffin tells anecdotes of different photo expeditions his colleagues went on in which they do more than travel to a place for a picture. They experience a new culture or community in which they learn their way of life and difficulties they endure. I really enjoyed watching David Griffin's Ted Talk. I have always enjoyed National Geographic's images and now I know the background of a few of their iconic images. I also enjoyed how he showed good, interesting images throughout. A story can only have so much of an impact when told just verbally. These photographers lived through powerful ...

History of Photography video (Photo II)

Two different types of photography processes were the daguerreotype and the photogenic drawing. The daguerreotype was created by Louis Daguerre and saw the money making potential in creating images. He sold his process to the French and was given a pension. The daguerreotype used a silver plate to print the picture on and was one of a kind. The photogenic drawing was created by William Henry Fox Talbot. The photogenic drawing used paper and could be reproduced using the negative. A negative was produced which could then be used to create a positive. Both of these processes to create images were great inventions in the field of photography
