-Theme Collection

I will be capturing the different faces of happiness, horror, and excitement. There will be different settings with my cousin's quince, scary movie night, Black Friday and many other events that may just come out of the blue.  My subject is still undecided but I may just get my brother's face through out all the events.

Lighting

1. Back Light- Back lights illuminate the LCD from the side or back of the display panel and they are used in small displays to increase readability in low light conditions.

2. Fill Light-may be used to reduce the contrast of a scene and provide some illumination for the areas of the image that are in shadow.

3. Key Light- The purpose of the key light is to highlight the form and dimension of the subject.

4. Hair Light- A back light used to help you see the hair better and each piece separate. 

5.Color Temperature-The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal black-body radiator  that radiates light of comparable hue to that light source.

Bressson

1. What kind of Photography was Bresson best-known for? What subjects was he interested in?
His main subjects were people and he enjoyed capturing them doing normal stuff. And he has amazing Portraits  as well.

2. What did you learn about Photography from watching this documentary? Be specific. Think about how he chose his subjects. What were his technical strengths as a photographer? What made his pictures "special?"
He had most picture in black and white format and the emotion added to the absents of color really hit. The pictures would speak for themselves with the different setting used, he was great at waiting, for the things that weren't in his power to move, to get to the right spot and seemed to always have his camera out and ready to shoot.

3. Use three words to describe Bresson's photography. Only three. Be unique! Be vivid!
Black/White/People...

Flowers and Grass

I like the new color to this picture from the original and the depth of field.

I like the law of thirds I used here.

I like the grass and depth of field.

I love the new color and the fact that the flower just pops out! And the law of thirds.

  I like the lonely grape here and the new color that helps it stand out.

Depth of Field

^ Camera

^ Photoshop

This is the Camera and Photoshop Depth of Field, tricky :)

Retouched Picture

This is the original picture but I worked with her eyes making them pop and then I played with the layers to make the picture darker and added some blush then worked on little spots on her face with the heal tool and the brush and stamp tool. Down here is the retouched picture.

New Facebook "Profille" Picture

This picture was taken by Lauren Lewis-

And it's an amazing picture but I used the curves tool to change the color and shadows a bit then added blush and used the liquify tool to remove the bump on my chin area. The final piece of work-

Hands

Here is the original picture, the lighting is lighter and the hands aren't centered.

Now down here the hands have been cropped to be in the middle and the lighting has changed a little then there are small parts where I have used the healing tool, to end up with this picture.

Flower (Before and After Editing)

This is the original picture up above before all the edit I did, I liked the color and everything but I felt the colors were too soft for my taste so...

I worked with the layers and made it darker to make the pink in the flower pop a little more and I cropped it so the flower, and not the envelope or package together, is the main focus. I felt that by making it darker it added a little more emotion to it, a darker emotion that can really be taken however people want to.

Shoes Picture

This is the original picture taken but after working a little with the layers and different brushes we come to the awesome new picture.

Parts of a DSLR camera

Parts of a DSLR Camera;

• Body- the main part this is where all the settings are all the dials and where you add the lens. It's also where you put the battery in and the memory card.
• Lens-the lens are from where you shoot the camera, the light reflects off the lens into your picture. Its also the frame for your picture, you can zoom making your picture tighter or loose and there are a lot of different ones that you use to shoot; depending on the picture or occasion.                                             
• M-this is the manuel setting, you can control the shutter speed and aperture. 
• A-this is the aperture setting, you control your aperture size and the shutter speed is done automatic 
• S-this is the shutter setting, you can control the shutter speed and the aperture size is done for you.
• P-this is the fancier version of auto the program setting, both shutter speed and aperture  is done for you but you still have more control over your picture then when its set to auto.
• Auto (green picture)-its the easiest setting you just point, aim, and shoot.
• Shutter Button-one of the most important parts, you press this button half way down to focus then all the way down to take the picture
• Setting Dial- its the little round dial usually next to the shutter button where you can set your camera to the setting you want.

Exposure-

         The exposure is all about the light you let into the camera leading to your picture. To much light and your photo can be too bright or white looking washed out. To little and they will look dark and shadowy. With Shutter Speed you really have to time it because the whole time your shutter is open and light is coming in. If its open too long a lot of light comes in and so the picture may be overexposed or if not enough light come in it can be underexposed. With the Aperture setting its like a hole in the lens where light comes through so again the size is important, too big means a lot of light and too small means no light.
