My concentration plan is either going to be things around school or nature.

-School: art work and lockers, I took one picture with the setting fish eye and the picture was about fish

-Nature: trees, zoom in on buds/ flowers, spring theme

Rule of Thirds

Rule of thirds is a rule for framing photos where the camera is divided into a grid with 9 boxes horizontally and vertically to make the picture more interesting.

This photo shows rule of thirds because the tree is off center in line with one of the horizontal lines and it makes the photo more interesting.

Depth of Field

Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest objects and how the camera focuses them.

-this picture has a low depth of field because the stick and rain drops are clear and up close and then the person in the background is blurred out so you can focus on the stick and rain drops.

- in my own photography it will help make pictures more clear and make things look more soft.

Pocket picture

The five items I chose were my phone, headphones, money, chap stick, and my glasses.
 -my phone because I like to talk to friends.
-money because I like to shop and I always have money on me.
-headphones because I like listening to music and I listen to music every day
-chap stick because my lips are always chapped.

-glasses because with out them I am blind.

National Geographic's The Photographers movie questions

1) National Geographic's pioneer photographer Gilbert H Grosvenor maintained that “The mind must see before it can believe.” Do you think this is true? Explain.

-Yes and no, because if you don’t see what something is then how can you believe. But also with like religion and spirit. people can’t see it but they believe in it.

1. The photographers come across many obstacles, problems, and dilemmas while out on photo shoots. List 5 that stood out to you.

- seasick, broken bones, diseases, insects, malaria 

3) Nick Nichols specializes in wildlife photography. What happened with the elephants on his trip to the Rainforest? How do you think you would have reacted in that situation?

-they started to come after the photographers. I would have gotten scared and not have stayed to take the picture.

4) What do the National Geographic photographers tell you makes a great photo? (Tell me 2 things)

-clear/sharp & says something 

5) National Geographic gives some good pointers on Portraits. What did you take away from this film about photos of the human face?

-Human faces are motivational, spark similarities, they mean something more. I feel the pictures of the human race are all different and each tell a story just by their facial expressions.

6) Photographers often shoot hundreds of photos and only pick one or two from the group. Did you agree with the explanations of why certain pictures get chosen for the cover? Which cover was your favorite?

-Color, detail, light, and they an explanation. Yes I agree for what pictures get chosen. My favorite was the pictures of the people in different cultures.

7) David Doubilet photographs underwater. He comments on making the reader “feel the ocean.” How do you think YOU can make viewers FEEL your subjects when you take your photos?

-Textures and look

(at 37 minutes in, the Lion hunting scene in the African bush is a little brutal, some may not want to watch this, turn away until 39.5 minutes)

8) National Geographic's mission is to provide its readers “with a window on the world.”

-They take pictures of things you wouldn’t be able to see every day or even at all.

9) What are your thoughts on the Peruvian sheep faming boy? The photographer felt that his “intrusion” had made an actual difference. How can you make a difference with your own photos?

-It was sad and upsetting. You can make a difference by helping that person out or donating to them. 

1. Did this film inspire you in any way for your own photography? We're going to explore photography more in depth next week, what lessons will you retain from this film?

-I have always had a great interests in photography, but never been good at it and now I know what makes a good picture and I can practice to make better ones. The lessons I will retain from this film is what it takes to make a good picture
