MARCO POLO and his Green Screen

 

            Anna School Banana Ditcher and I arrrived in class one day full of energy (as we are everyday). We had finished our project days before and decided we were going to play a game. The game consisted of a more complicated version of Marco Polo. The boundaries…Well there were no boundaries, this was the World Version. The object of the game was for our teacher, Mr. O’CramravoT (hmm I wonder what this spells backwards), to travel the world without us spotting him, and we were to not long after begin the search. Every place we had to go to we had to yell “MARCO”, then he yelled back “POLO” and to our advantage we had super hearing powers which comes in handy in our photo class because we are great listeners! The whole “fish out of water” came into play if he were anywhere off ground for example a plane, or on the moon. Mr. O’CramravoT had a special portable green screen that aloud him to jump through it and go anywhere he was picturing in his mind. This was to be used at his advantage. The game had started and we gave him a 20 minute head start, then we were off!!! 

We decided to start in Africa. MARCO! POLO! It sounded as if he was in the midst of the humid, wild safari, where lions, tigers, giraffes, zebras, elephants, and even Simba were running wildly! However, he was nowhere in site so we yelled once more MARCO! POLO! This time he sounded like he was on the move to China. 

What better place to hide then the Great Wall of China. It was 2150 feet long and 39 feet high. We yelled but again could not see him so we traveled to the Sphinx in Egypt. 

We thought we saw him after yelling 3 or 4 times but apparently we were wrong. 

. The next place, which we were sure he went to because he obviously loves sunflower seeds( after his embarrassing seed shells in a empty gum pack incident), so we made a visit to the sunflower fields of Ireland. Again we heard him and the same as before, no success in spotting him.

We were getting tired so we decided to head back, but on the way we visited Forks Washington where the movie Twilight, and too our surprise, we yelled MARCO! POLO! And he was there! Apparently he is the biggest fan of Twilight, weird I know. We win!

Aperture #2-People using F3.5

Aperture 1

Pictures soon to come.

1)

1. If you need to bring more light into the picture you use F3.5

2.If you want a faster shutter speed you use F3.5 which is a larger aperture.

3.If you want one main subject in focus and the rest out of focus then you would use F3.5

2)

1.If you want less light in the photo you use a smaller aperture such as F22

2.If you want a slower shutter speed you use a F22

3.If you want everything in your pictures to be in focus and they are at different lengths away from you, you would use F22 to keep all in focus.

3)You would use a flash or a tripod to keep the picture from being blurred by a shaky camera in a low light and slow shutter speed.

F22 and F3.5

F22

F3.5

1. Aperture is a device that controls the amount of light admitted.

2. Depth of field is the distance between the closest and farthest point in complete sharp/clear focus.

3. The change in speed when adjusting the aperture increases in speed when using F3.5 and decreases in speed when using F.22.

4.An aperture of F22 is a small aperture.

5.An aperture of F3.5 is a big aperture.

6.If shooting a group of people that are at different distances than you, you would shoot at a F22 aperture because you want to keep them all in focus so you need to let in less light.

7. If shooting a group of people but only wanting to keep the subject in focus you would shoot at a F3.5 because with that aperture it lets in more light.

Rule of Thirds #1

Rule of Thirds #2

1. Shooting your pictures with rule of thirds in mind helps makes the pictures more interesting. Having the subject on the sides or top/bottom helps you to actually focus on the image and study it rather then it being right there in the center of the picture.

2. Shooting rule of thirds is more comfortable for me...It comes naturally because it like to make the pictures more interesting and from different points of views.

3.My favorite picture would have to be the third one because the flower just pops out and it is closer than the rest of them. It is in focus and  follows the rule of thirds.

Leading Lines

1. The wood is the focus point of the picture. It pops out most to my eyes.

2. The lines begin off the picture closest to the viewer, and end at the subject which is the tractor.

3. I think I get how to do it, i just need to keep up with the practice.

Color

1. Hue is the quality of a color as determined by its dominant wavelength.

2.Intensity is the brightness or dullness of a color.

3.Value refers to the lightness and darkness of a color not mistaking it with intensity.

Texture and Lines

1. Yes I had difficulties because it is difficult to get close to a subject enough to get the texture and have it be lines.

2. Well considering it was difficult for me to take these pictures, it is hard to tell how it effected it but from what i understand it is just another style and help different things in the picture pop out more than other and the lines plus texture adds a huge effect.

3. To me leading lines is either a series of lines or a single line leading to the subject which should be the focus point of the picture.

Texture

The texture in a photograph brings out things most essential of the picture to the smallest of details.

It is important to have good lighting when taking pictures of texture so it almost gives you the feeling of it being 3 dimensional.

Texture in general makes you look at things differently, like patterns and feel. If it is really good it makes you almost want to touch then to feel it.

What I learned...

I learned from this project that, instead of  taking pictures from eye-level, crouching down low to the ground or standing on a high block can completely change your picture. I can turn the picture from a plain everyday object that everyone else sees at eye level, to a beautiful photo.  Changing the angle and length also makes a HUGE difference. Just changing the way somebody else looks at something to a different point of view helps me and others to look at things differently. Practicing these different methods of taking pictures continues to make my photography skills grow.

I like this picture because the heart is made out of everyday materials(ice) and its really cool how something so simple can be made into a work of art.

I really like this picture because of how the flower stands out, and the green behind the flower makes it pop out a little bit more. Also i like how the wall frames the flower which makes it the focus of the picture.

Although this picture may not have the brightest colors featured, it has so much life. I love this photo because one, its not posed, two, the mud splashing creates the illusion of it popping out of the picture, and three, the expression on the girls face shows the different feelings, almost like you are there. I also like the way the mud frames her face making the first thing you look at is her and being able to feel what she is feeling right away. This is a great picture!
