FUNNY CAPTIONS

Buddy is on a motorcycle in the woods. He is obviously not wearing any visible clothing. He was chased out by his wife, he did not even have any time to put clothing on.

 This guy's name is Jack, his eyes appear as if they will pop out of their sockets. Jack has a special talent for doing this to his eyes, because he practiced as a young child to scare people on halloween. Now he does it for money.

This woman's name is Maria, she is lighting a cigarette with a birthday candle. She has made it quite far, and is smoking a cigarette to celebrate a long life, ironic because cigarettes are extremely harmful to health.

GREAT BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHERS PART III

1. What theme, that we could take here at school, could we do a series of these panels to place around the school?
Bull dogs. 

2. Should we use phones only, or should we open it up to our regular cameras for those people that don't have camera phones?
Pretty much everyone has a camera phone. Even flip phones have cameras. 
3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus?
The foyer. Its widely seen by people and a commonly used area. 

1.) What first caught your eye while looking at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them? Post the images with your writing.

2.) Look at those 2 photos you posted last time in the assignment Great Black and White Photographers Part 2. Use your five senses to tell me more about those photos. Answer them on your blog.

I see Giant Turbines

I smell Concrete
I hear Workers moving
I taste Metal and Sweat
I feel Vibrations from heavy machinery.

You can do this in 2 ways. You can either put yourself in the photo and pretend your standing next to the subjects in the photo. I know smell and taste are hard but you can do it.

Or, you can pretend you were the photographer and use those same senses.

On the one titled - I feel - you may either touch things in your photo (imagination please!!) or you can tell me what you (yes, you in the real world) feel or felt the first time you saw the photo, or how it makes you feel when you look at it now.

BE REFLECTIVE HERE - try to be descriptive, try to write more than you think you can. 

One sentence per prompt is NOT ENOUGH, write at LEAST 3 sentences per!!! 

Write more, if you think its enough, its NOT.

3.) Finally, what would you like to create to show the world your great photographer. 

Ideas include, posters, power points, a blog, etc. 

You tell me what you would like to create so we can come up

 with a plan to share your thoughts and ideas about your photographer 

with your classmates and with the rest of the school.

Powerpoint showing all of their accomplishments and stuff.

Shutter speed, Aperture, and ISO.

 Aperture.

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
The eyes because your pupils control the amount of light by changing size just as apertures do.

2. Finish the sentence. 

The smaller the Aperture lower the number, the higher the Aperture higher the number.

3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field?

A smaller aperture keeps the foreground and background in focus. A larger aperture blurs the background creating a larger depth of field. 

F18 Aperture.

F2.8 Aperture.
