First, I chose the polaroids background because it reminds me of a frame, I have in my room with polaroid pictures of my family and friends. I put the flag of Mexico because my mom is from there, Guanajuato in specific. I have gone to visit to her family, and I loved it over there, it is part of who I am. I put a picture of my family off-roading which is a part of who I am especially since I have been riding since I was 6 years old. We started off with one quad, then bought another one, and also a rzr. I put shopping bags because if you know me you know I can’t go one week without ordering at least something I definitely don’t need. Shopping has always been my weakness and addiction, I love shopping. It has gotten really bad recently to the point where my mom tried taking her and my dad’s credit cards away from me, but she always ends up giving in which is amazing. I have so many clothes it doesn’t even fit in my closet due to how much I buy.

The picture of Universal Studios is because we have annual passes and try to go often, we went for the first time as a family in 2019 and fell in love. My sister and I love the Mummy and Harry Potter rides; Since our passes include the express line, we go on some rides multiple times since for less time. I put The Chiefs logo because my dad and me love that team and love to watch football games. The flag of El Salvador is because my dad is from there, and I loved it when I visited. Although we didn’t spend a lot of time at my grandma’s house, I loved going to the tourist side of El Salvador. The Starbucks drinks are because I am obsessed with it, ever since I was little, I have always loved it. We would get it every Thursday without doubt, even my mom who is super healthy.

 

 

On the first two pictures I think I have strong composition. The third picture could be better.

The first picture I made the frame darker, and the subject stands out. I made the second picture more orangey and reddish like the sun, I think it looks good. The third picture shows an older frame and opposite color of the subject, so I just made the subject pop more.

I would want to shoot outside because I feel like there would be better framing with outside things and composition colors.

I personally think my first page should be considered one of the best from all the photography classes because I tried really hard to make the frame, work on a subject somehow and I nailed it by going low

 

 

 

The painting shows an isolated landscape of Dali’s imagination with a calm sea and distant cliffs under a clear sky There are three melting clocks, the old kind. The colors are fall colors. A large melting clock is draped over a tree branch. The melting clock may symbolize the unreliability of time and memory. The melting clock is one of Salvador Dali’s “the persistence of memories”. Salvador’s art is a masterful representation of surrealism combining technical position with imaginative vision to explore profound themes. Its enduring impact and widespread recognition is significant in the history of art.

This is a successful photo because it shows how random things could come together to make something interesting. There is one main character in the picture, but it leaves you with suspense and makes you stare at the picture longer. The picture makes you wonder even after what happened after because the location is scary. The composition in this picture is successful because it shows opposite colors, being brown and green. The picture is focused on the wood of the train tracks but as well as the main character. The guy’s shirt stands out which catches eyes. Although the guy’s face is not so bright you could still see and feel his emotions. The exposure is not balanced but it still looks really good. I chose this picture because it got my attention, I had never seen anything like it. The angle on picture is on the floor but upside which makes it seem as if he is holding on but really, he is just laying down.

The shadow is not even what the figure actually is. It is representing that you need two people to be a tower or something important and meaningful. The shadow looks so cool and very detailed. The tower reminds me of the Eiffel tower, which is why I picked it. The people are wearing all black, but it doesn’t matter what they wear, the shadow would be the same. It looks like the room is completely dark except the light that they need. Instead of making the shadow outside with natural light, they made it to their liking. The people are so focused on not moving to not ruin the shadow. It would have looked even better than it is because the background wouldn’t be plain. If there was more light the shadow would’ve been more defined and darker.

Exposure: Overexposure means that there is too much light/brightness and underexposure means there is not enough light/darkness.

Aperture: The aperture setting on the camera is a way to decide how you want your light depending on whether you are outside or inside, it is measured/changed by the F/#, # meaning any number that is on the camera’s setting. Their light could only increase or decrease by the F-stop value. The aperture setting works together with the shutter speed, they both do a big part in the light department.

Shutter Speed: The Shutter Speed works by controlling the time of the exposure. It determines how long the light is allowed to enter the camera. The shutter speed works differently, for example the slower the shutter speed is, the exposure time is faster. Shutter speed is a killer instrument to have for photographers who take pictures of people in sports. It could catch a perfect picture in .1 of a second.

ISO: The ISO speed controls the reactivity of your camera’s sensor depending on the amount of light it is given. In the case of ISO, the lower the speed is, the better. If the ISO is higher, it increases image noise. The common ISO speeds are 100, 200, 400, and 800. The ISO speed is usually increased minimally if the other tools aren’t added. The ISO range is between 50-200 has low image noise.

Camera Exposure Modes: There are 6 different modes for cameras. The Auto mode is used more, and it automatically arranges all the tools. The program mode automatically selects aperture and the shutter speed. The Aperture Priority picks the shutter speed based on what you pick for the aperture and ISO speed.  For the Manual mode, you get to pick everything to your likes. The Bulb mode is useful for exposures that last more than 30 seconds.

I think this picture is a successful picture that shows amazing texture because it’s zoomed in to the point where it looks artistic and not plain. The picture is focused on the rain drops and not the background. The camera settings are probably on a higher shutter speed so there is light.

I chose this picture because I love the rain and how raindrops are formed. I think it demonstrates how even a tiny drop could be a part of something bigger and beautiful. I also chose it because of the color, it is full of life and fresh.
