Mural Project Preview

1.some ideas that I have for our project are the
-The city of Austin/common places in Austin,Texas
-animals around Austin like bats, the zoo, nature animals in the wild, pet animals
-shapes around the world and how people look at things from a different angle

2.when I'm shooting things that I would think about are the aperture and the ISO to make sure the lighting is not weird and is natural, also the shutter speed to make sure if something is moving it is stopped by shutter speed or something that you want to be moving then low shutter speed.

3. Something I have heard before is an app on your phone and creating one. On you computers you can make a website, also on a kindle you can make something on their I think to make an app for even a website.

1. I chose this photo because I think it shows what the past was before we were here in the Great Depression. What caught my eye was the children in the back hiding behind the mother In the photo, they had very little food to survive.

The kids would also learn how to hunt and shoot down birds to eat. Also the farms crops froze and there was no jobs for the homeless pickers.

Extra Credit

First Website
1.On the first website there are a munch of pictures wild animals in nature in Africa. Nick Brandt is a very good photographer he does most of his work inAfrica because he wants to show all the animals and places that have been destroyed by men and how they live with that.

2.










3.This is my favorite photo that Nick Brandt has taken because this shows how the animals are being effected by men destroying their land and the nature and a giraffe is watching them hurt their land and how they live. I chose this because it made me have emotion and how good we live and that we don't think about the animals which kinda have feelings too.

4.A merger is in this photo because there is a lot going on in this photo,  also rule of thirds because the giraffe is the main vocal point and it is on the side of the photo so your focus goes there.

5. he uses a three fixed-length lenses: a 55mm, a 105mm, and a 200mm. This is important because it means that he can get close to the vocal point with out actually being close which means he can zoom in. 
6.The reason for him to take the photos are he wants to show how the animals live and show their features.
7. He hopes for theses photos are so people can see what living there is really like and the environment and really up close to the animals. 
8.“I photograph these animals - that specific elephant or cheetah or lion that has drawn my eye - in the same way I would a human being, watching for the right pose that pose fully will best capture his or her spirit. This means getting close. (Although frustratingly, I can't ask the animals to take a small step to the left, or lift their head a little.) This means getting close. It's one reason why I don't use telephoto lenses. I like to frame the animals within the context of their world - the sky and the landscape - rather than within a telephoto blur or scrubby ground or brushes. Other times, I'm searching for a panoramic view that I hope will convey some semblance of the rare synchronized spectacle of animals, landscape and light that can unfold, if one is very fortunate and patient.”Nick Brandt
This quote is telling what their spirit is in the anima and getting close to it to see those features and really know what the animal is feeling and what it is doing and how it lives.

2nd website 
9.Nicks focal point of his photos are what was before where the animals lived but know their homes are being destroyed. 
10. His process how he does with his photos are he first sleets unpublished photos from this time period, he then sends then to California, then shipped to Kenya, then he constructed them into steel and a plywood frame and he then positioned them the way he wanted them too. 
11.The effect that his work has on other people are that the places animals live are dumps because of them because they once were beautiful but they were destroyed. 
12.these photos made me feel sad because they were once in trash and rubbish but then they turn into railroads and know they are dying because they don't have anywhere to live. 

Abandoned Theme Parks 
1.
OKPO LAND, OKPO CITY, GEOJE ISLAND SOUTH KOREA.  because it one looks the most safest but it is also a theme park that has been abandoned and is also kinda scary but not as scary as the other ones. I also thing this place has many different things for different people like babies, kids, teens,adults, and even old people. Also there was a duck ride you would thing would be safe but ended killing 2 young girls.

3.
1. HOLY LAND, WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, USA
2.SIX FLAGS, NEW ORLEANS, USA
3.TAKAKANONUMA GREENLAND, HOBARA, JAPAN
4. GULLIVER’S KINGDOM, JAPAN
5. Wonderland (China)

.

5. I think it would be cool to shoot here because it looks a little bit creepy and I think there would be some cool places to shoot at and really show how it was abandoned. 

6. I feel like it I would need to bring food and snacks all my camera equipment and bring a safety belt and a harness because if I wanted to get a picture of a roller coaster up high or something else from above. Also I would bring closed toed shoes because if you step on something sharp you don't want to hurt your self and appropriate clothing. Also I would need to ask someone who owns the pale if I can go and shoot there and not trespass.

Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO


Aperture F2.8


Aperture F16

Aperture
1. We usually relate aperture to the eye of an human.
2.The smaller the aperture the less light in the photo, the higher aperture the more light is allowed in the photo.
3.Depth of Field is just the background us focus or out of focus.

Shutter speed
High Sutter speed

Low shutter speed
 
1. If I was at bull dogs and hot dogs and too pictures I would use faster shutter speed at the beginning when the sun is still up.
a.) Medium
b.) Medium
c.)Fast
d.) fast
e.)fast
f.)fast
At the end of the night I would still use faster because it's dark outside but not inside.
a.)Slow
b.)slow
c.)fast
d.)medium
e.)medium
f.)medium

Some settings about shutter speed are Shutter Priority mode, you choose the shutter speed and then it selects the aperture.Another setting is Manual Mose you choose both shutter speed and aperture manually. Also there are auto the shutter speed is selected by the camera without your input.

ISO

this was taken in ISO 200

This photo was taken in ISO 3200

1. Some advances of higher ISO is there is more light in your photo, also not to have motion blur.
2.To always use a low ISO at all times.
3.only use it to avoid motion blur.

DSLR camera
Aperture--2.8,4,5.6,8,11,16,22
Shutter speed--1,1/60,1/4000

Great Black and White Photographers PART 3


1.) The color structure in this photo caught my eye when I was watching the photo being taken, and also the way how perfect the photo is composed like all the pepper and salt and how they added the lettuce ball.

2.)Some 5 senses that are in this picture are
-I see two spoons with different colored liquids in them one red and one yellow. I also see a ball of lettuce perfectly composed. I also see little pieces of salt and pepper and I also see a lemon all by its self.
-I smell all the food all together in a very interesting smell because they are all combined.
-I hear the the food posing and a click of a camera going off and the food is perfectly still.
-I taste  the juicy, salty lemon, the salt all spread around in little small groups, the lettuce all plain.
I feel the perfectness of the placement of the food and the photo how it explains so much I feel happy when I see something perfect and precise and nice and neat.


1.) There is actually color where I am watching this photo being taken but as you see the photo it is in black and white. But what caught my eye during this photo being taken is the two girls in the tutus and them surrounded by a munch of men in black and them in white, but there is also 2 other ladies in black. But because the girl in the tutus it makes them stand out very much not just because there girls but because they are in white. Also there is a bar/contraption around them and people sitting on it and it's very big and wide and doesn't fit in the photo the whole way or the room we were in taking the photo.
2.) Some 5 senses in this photo are
-I see a bunch of men in suits and black and 2 women in black also in black also in see a contraption in the back of everyone, I also see two ladies in tutus.
I smell the stinky shoes on the ballerinas feet in their ballet shoes. I also smell the rustiness of the contraption and how it smalls gross and rusty.
I hear the squeaking of the contraption and I hear then men getting tired of standing around for so long and the women telling them not to complain.
I taste the felt on the tutus and what the texture is, I also taste the rusticness of the contraption.
I feel the people in the photo are getting tired and have to be so stiff and I feel relieved that I'm not in the photo feeling that.

I think my photographer I chose was a good idea. Something I would want to create in the future is making stuff with food or doing a black and white photo shoot and doing something different nothing around the school like going somewhere else than the school.
