Final Exam

4)

I believe that this "Semester Final" photo changed the way I viewed photography because it made me realize that I am capable of taking photos that allure other people. It also made me realize that this photo had many rules that were mixed together. The color contrast in this photo made me realize that color is a very important aspect of the photo and without this color the photo will be nothing. It also made me realize that one does not need a 1000$ camera to take nice photos. This photo made me trust my cell phone more because the image it took was amazing. 

5) The difference of shape and design is that shapes are formed at the intersection of three lines and are noticed in and out of the natural world. It is proven that our brain tries to find shapes and patterns in every photo. The form of an object comes from the light and darkness. Form includes three key elements length, width, and depth. The direction and intensity of the light will dictate the form of the photo. Black and white photos will bring our attention to the different shapes and patterns but  not the form because all the light has been taken away.

6) The difference between pattern and repetition is pattern is a combination of elements or shapes repeated in a recurring and regular arrangement. Repetition is an object, form, or figure that is repeated. For example pattern in a photo is like trying to make circles and rectangles unify into one great big beauty whereas repetition is just repeat certain elements in your photo to make it stand out more.

The presentation commercial photo shoot was my best project because I learned how valuable time is and that having fun taking the photo is not the only thing that is important. During that project Andrew, Rudrick, and I had to actually think hard on how to take these pictures and think about the different poses we had to make in order to succeed. This project also changed my view on photography. Before this project I believed that photography was just take a photo and you're done, but after this project I realized that when you manage a photo shoot it has high stress mixed into it because of all the orders you have to make and edits. This whole experience was great and I learned many new rules and photos and also many new rules in life. Thanks Mr. Farley and have a gr9 summer!!!

I believe that this is Michaels best photo because of the detail in the photo. The water droplets on the plant gives the photo life and it also gives the photo more contrast. The photo has many bright and vibrant colors which I like.

This is the best photo because I love dogs and this dog looks very cute. Out of all the dog pictures this one is the best because the dog has its tongue out. The tongue gives the photo color and vibrancy is a magnificent touch.

Nicole's photo shows multiple colors and my eyes keep roaming around the photo. I can see many clovers and the tunnel that is in the middle of the photo. I can also spot the California state flower which is the California poppy.

Story with a photo - International Mountain

This is a photo I took in Switzerland in the afternoon. The journey from the bottom of the mountain to the top was one for the books. First, we took a trolley up the mountain which showed the scenic beauty of Switzerland and the ride took 30 min. Later, we walked 30 minutes up the mountain and reached this point where I snapped the photo. This photo will always remember because of the effort and how nice the photo came out.

MSJMCW Story

During this multicultural I have experience multiple foods all are different in culture. During lunch my friends and I would go to each booth and give the server a high five for there service in serving other students on there on lunch time. The food can range from burgers to Indian curry to Chinese food. On Monday I told myself that I would try a food that I would never normally eat. So, I tried some Indian curry. When I tried the food my mouth went on a journey across all the spice world. It was very pungent in turmeric and was very spicy. This week has also let me experience and became friends with many new people from every grade group. Until now, I just realized that some freshman's are actually down to earth and are not little kids that think they are the top of the school. This really changed my mind on how I should treat some freshman's I know. This week will always be the best week in my high school career because of the extended lunch and cool kids on the block.

Shutter Speed and Everything After

Paired with Hugh Smith

1. This truck was taken with a slow shutter speed because it is not moving at all. I believe it already stopped sliding on the road when the picture was taken.
2. One rule of composition is the use of diagonals. The truck is at a diagonal angle and the trucks driving in the opposite direction is also slightly angled.
3. One element of art that describes this photo is line. The lines in this picture are clearly depicted by the lines of the trucks and the outlining of the road. Also, the metal protector shows us the roads that are separate.
4. One principal of design in this photo is color. There are many colors in this picture including red, white, blue red, green, and black. All these colors give the sky a good contrast to the photo.
