American soldier captions and slide shows.

A. What is the most powerful image from the slideshows? Why?
The second photo in the coming section is the most powerful image because it shows how much he was happy to be home. Most importantly it showed how happy his family was when he came home. It shows  that the life in the army was hard for him and coming back home was the greatest thing ever.

B. What sequence of photographs is the most powerful? Why?
Life in Iraq was the most powerful. Being in Iraq and seeing how scary it could be and the missions you would have to go on makes you look at it all a completely different way. You can see all they had to go through and the tactics they had to take when being in Iraq.

c. How do the images work together to tell a story?
All the images are taking in a specific way at specific time lining each one up after another. You can look at one photo and then look at the next one and be able to tell what is going on in that time frame just by the sequence they are in.


3. Click on the "i" button on the upper right side of the photos to see the captions.

A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written?
 They are written in present and past tense verbs

B. How do the captions enhance the photographs?
They give more detail on what is actually going on in the photo. Makes everything more interesting and you can understand the photos better.

4. Turn off the caption feature.

A. Write three of your own captions to photos without looking at the caption written by the photographer. Be sure they are written in the following form. For this assignment you can make up names and facts to write your captions.


1. In the section coming home look at the picture where the father is on the phone and the mother is wearing purple.
Caption: Ian parents are really excited for their sons return home. Waiting for him to show the mother is becoming impatient from all the excitement while the father is on the phone telling other family that he is almost near and to prepare something extraordinary for him.


2. In the coming home section look at the photo where ian is wearing a hat and a tap out shirt and his mother is playing pool
Caption : While the mother is playing pool Ian distracts her to make her lose but also talks about the life in the army and the procedure they had to do when being there. The mother works hard to concentrate on the winning shot though. 


3. In the section coming home look at the photo where ian is wearing a black shirt and the mother is wearing a pink shirt
Caption: The mother wipes the kisses off his cheek that she has given him. He blushes but wants to be a man expressing the fact that men don't get kisses from mothers anymore. Although she sees this she is just proud to have the fact that her son is finally home.


A. How do these other features enhance the photographs?
Having Ian express him self everything that went on during the war made you get a better understanding than the captions and pictures because he was telling it himself

B. In what ways are videos better than photographs? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site.
Videos explain more and you get a better visualization then photographs. In photographs many stories can be told and you can guess on what is actually going on the picture but you may not be correct all the time. When videos gives you the story automatically and you can actually see everything that is truly happening without having someone explaining. It plays the role of telling a story.

C. In what ways are photos better than videos? Provide an example from the Denver Post Web site.
Photos show more. Videos can explain things better but photographs can show and speak out to you. If a powerful action is being caught in a photo you are able to take that in and really focus. When videos have so much going on and its hard to pause just one moment for it to make an impact. A photograph can capture so many different meanings and actions which can also make it better than a video. It captures one moment.

Cool Video

1. I thought this video was really good. Yearbook seems expensive though but a great video. I would like to see more of the hiphop team later on with these videos. I think that would be very interesting. I think that some over the videos shown should had played out alil longer and quality could of been alil better but other than that it was a good video.

Driving under age is a serious problem now and days. Kid tries to beat the traffic on his way to school.

1. What theme that we could take here at school could we do a series of these panels to place around the school? Blue and gold night and sports
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? I think we could use both phone and cameras. But if i had to choose i would just use phones.
3. Where would you want to put the mural on campus? On a wall. Where everyone can see it.

1. What do you have to do on the camera to make this type of photo? Adjust the controst on the camera ant the photo will come out correctly.
2. Look up a Canon T3 on google and tell me if it has the ability to shoot bracketed photos? Yes it takes a minimum of 3 shots.
3. Is there a place on campus we could take a series of photos like this? i dont think so . NO
4. Do a google image search for HDR photos and find your favorite, post it on your blog, tell me why you picked that photo and then tell me what techniques (rules of photography) the photographer used.

One of the reasons is because its in paris. Two its the ifel tower. Three is very interesting and the colorway makes it look really cool

Fixed Photo post shoot reflection

1) I learned where the F setting button was. I learned that the higher the iso and different shutter speed the different the picture.

2) The photos either look brighter or darker or much more pixalated than usual.

3) Each photo gets darker or lighter. It goes from dark to light. Light to dark

4) iso make photos brighter or darker and when needed say in a situation where you need a dark affect you would change the iso to that setting

5) Certain photos seem to be in focus. But the increase in shutter speed and iso makes the photo not as focus but still able to look at it clearly.

7) What i would need to concentrate on next time would be the ISO and the shutters speed. 

Great Black and White Photographers part 3

1) The thing that caught me was how the photo was able to tell a story. There were many stories that could be told with the photographs I picked. Just the fact that you are able to tell a story with them is what made me choose them. Its a very nice photograph. Well taken with alot of detail. A great photo that catches my eye with every detail


2)
I see many people in crowds trying to get to their destination 
I smell the scent coming from the trees and grass in the park. 
I hear the people talking to each other about random conversations.
I taste terrible air in the park
I feel the community and its people presents and the air hitting against me.


3) I would like to create a beautiful work of art with my photos. Where people can see my photos and not only enjoy them but make them think and speak out to them. Have a certain meaning to each photo or a certain message to show to everyone.
