Reflections and Warped Images.

1. Using the lights of the reflection off the water
2. Using a regular Camera it looks like
3. Had to get the right angle
4. Its the perfect night time picture especially with the glowing lights


My Plan>
Is to get a glass or reflection piece to capture a picture of my dogs or to get by a little lake with some lights and capture the beautiful picture.

My focal point is ben in the middle of the glass container but i also like that you can see his face in the middle oddly shaped but also can see his body which is also funny. but this is a good picture for what we are learning today.

Mark Hirsch and Time Lapse Photography

i will be doing my beard to do this picture simply because it goes on a daily basis and will improve and you will see the difference day by day which i think will be cool because you will see how my body improves in hair in over a 2 week span.

Did the subject you chose work well for this project?  Absolutely because the subject of my 14 day eclipse photos are on my face and easily to take pictures. 
Did it change like you had anticipated?  If not, why?  you can't really tell exactly.
If you could give advice to someone doing this assignment in the future, what would it be? make sure to get a good angle and great lighting for this project.

Extra Credit-Best Photo from Spring Break

This is my best picture simply because it shows the feeling and what it feels like to be in Florida enjoying vacation and really seeing another view of life. But this explains and shows how the siesta key beach looked and you can also see and feel the vibe of this picture.

Playing with Panorama

Helpful hints; 
1) keep your camera at the same level
2) Overlap Frequently 
3) be careful with the super wide angle lens
4) check the scene for the movement
5) Look down, look up, look around

how to shoot with my device; 
1) Camera App is available
2) Tap the shutter button
3) swipe twice to get pano mode
4) tap the button or get a feel of the iphone to get good picture
5) tap shutter button again to end pano mode. 

This Pano mode is the cloning that i had some of my classmates particpate in and basically started the photo with them fighting each other and then had them run around me to capture them again to see the same fighting picture. I think this is cool because of my friends wanted to help me.

This is my focal point of jackson Just being lazy in class really trying to capture the view of the room and get the focal point done i think this is cool because gets the whole class.

This is my vertical view and really can tell the width of the picture of me and really cool to capture a picture of myself. Makes me look shorter than i am;(

landscape & Cityscape photography

What is the difference between Landscape and Cityscape photography? 
Cityscapes vs. Landscapes A landscape is visible features of an area of countryside or land (trees, grass, water, nature) with a lack of buildings and man-made structures. A cityscape is the visual appearance of a city or urban area. 

What is panorama/panoramic photography?
specialized equipment or software, that captures images with horizontally elongated fields of view. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image.

What is the Golden Hour? 
 period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky.
 
What is the Blue Hour?
which is the period just before sunrise or just after sunset when light is diffused and even.

Landscape Photography
1) Maximize your Depth of Field
2) use a tripod
3) look for a focal point 
4) Think foregrounds
5) Consider the sky 

I picked this picture because it is very beautiful and colorful although its not during the golden hour. it is during the blue hour but i think this picture was taking on another high point view mountain with lens that are wide and able to capture this view that is very unlikely to see every night .

1) Right After Sunset is a Fantastic Time for Cityscape Shots. 

2) Capture the Whole Skyline with a Wide Angle Lens 

3) Use Your Camera’s Self-timer and a Tripod for Crisp Results

4) Look for Those Leading Lines

5)Just like Rivers are Great in Landscapes, Fountains are Great in Cityscapes

  I picked this photo simply because its beautiful and just an outstanding view and its during the golden hour but also can see the shade of the blue hour which is the opposite of golden hour but the photographer was definitely on top of another building taking this picture with an wide lens camera.

So Far....

So far...this is my favorite photo because... It includes the rules of thirds concept and what we learned in class has taught me to use things such as that. but this picture really describing me praying to have a successful life and god telling me that people just pray on my downfall -_-_-
  So far...this is my least favorite photo because...  It really doesn't describe the leading line category i was supposed to do but you know pictures can also have a strong meaning but this doesn't because there's a wall to end leading lines. 

  So far...this was my most challenging photo because... The first photo i have in my blog this current blog is that it was challenging because i had to make sure the picture and i were a perfect fit for the rule of thirds! and also had to get the perfect angel.
