3 photos and questions

1. This photo would have used a narrower aperture such as f22 to get everything in focus giving it more depth of field.
2. This photo would have to use a faster shutter speed to capture the rocket taking off without it being a blur.
3. If this had crappy lighting the white of the smoke would show. The blue sky really makes the rocket stand out almost like giving it a 3-D affect.
4.No this photo does not use the rule of thirds because the main subject is dead center of the picture.

1. This would be a wider aperture because the main subject of the picture is in focus when everything behind and around it is not.
2. This picture was taken with a faster shutter speed to capture the people up in the air at the moment they went up. Again it is not blurred in any way.
3. The lighting is a little dark but it is what makes the picture interesting because the sunset is directly behind them giving the picture a little more interest in the way it was taken.
4. This photo does demonstrate because it is blank where the dead center would be.

1. This would be a wider aperture because the girl is the main focus but then background is out of focus still making it interesting and easy to read what is going on in this moment.
2. This was probably taken with a medium shutter speed because it isn't capturing motion but it isn't needing to let in massive amounts of light.
3. The lighting is great in this picture it shows about what time of day it would be, here being mid-day. The shadow also gives a good affect. This picture shows good lighting.
4. No this picture does not represent rule of thirds because the main subject is again in the center of the picture.

ROP Digital Photo Final Exam





???
1. Leading Lines

XSI Display Top
1. TV is time value- shutter priority mode; AV is aperture Value-used to determine how much will be in focus according to the different settings. Ex. F22 and F3.5 

2. This camera is an SLR

XSI Display
1. Shutter Speed.

2. Aperture.

3. WB It is the white balance button and it affects your photo by letting you choose different 
settings depending on where you are at and how the lighting is such as daylight, cloudy, beach, etc...

Rule Of Thirds
1. Also sent in e-mail.



2. Rule of thirds is when a picture is taken and the main focus/subject is not dead center of the picture.

Shutter Speed
1. The shutter speed is set fast to capture the motion of the surfer so the moment he is up in the air the picture is taken quickly.

2. The shutter speed is a really slow setting so that it can take in as much light as possible. You would change the number in the top left corner to a high number such as 30 seconds so you can let all the lighting in.

Aperture
1. The first photo is an example of a wide aperture because everything behind and around the subject is in focus. To make this possible you would use a smaller aperture such as F22.

2. This photo is an example of a narrow aperture because there is one main subject in focus. To make this possible you would use a larger aperture such as F3.5

3. If you had a group of 3-5 people in a shot and wanted them all to be in focus you would use a wider aperture such as F22 to keep all of them in focus and not have anyone in particular blurred more than another.

4. The distance between the nearest and farthest points in the photo that are in focus.

Green screen 5 pictures with solid backgrounds





Photo Critique

1. The colors stood out to me.
2. Color and framing is a main key used in this photo. The men in green trapping in the others make it look like it is framed.
3. The picture looks like people are maybe being evacuated or moved, maybe immigrating. It shows how some people have to go through this just to be able to live.
1. The action and suspense makes this photo.
2. Texture and actions is used in this to capture the moment. The texture is his pants and the wall he is leaning against.
3.It looks like they are at war and it was a close call. It captures emotion because if the shot had been any closer he would've been killed but he was lucky enough to barely be missed.
1. The fact that one house is standing and all the rest have falling makes it an amazing shot.
2. Rule of thirds and depth of field is used. The house is towards center bottom and it is more in focus than the road leading to the edge of the picture in that saying it uses leading lines also.
3. This picture looks like there was a storm and flood, and knocked down all the rest of the houses except one yellow house that was left standing. It definitely provokes emotion in the sense that all those people lost there homes, some even there lives.

Green Screen 2


1. Opened both green screen picture and background. Then i added a new layer to it and went to color range and selected just me and made it black then i went to color range again and selected the green screen and pasted the background image into that.
2. The final project turned out great and looks real. Adding a third element made the picture more interesting and kind of adds a story to it.
