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.

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 #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.
