From the DVD #12

1. I really liked the photo taken at sunset of the lake and the two trees in the middle. It was a very beautiful shot and a very creative shot! Long depth of field was definitely used as well as the rule of thirds.
2. I think Jim Brandenburg did this to get his love for photography back. I also think he did this to be unique and to keep him involved with something he loved to do!

MY FAVORITE!

Reflecting on Lines assaignment #11

I thought I did a good job on my pictures for "lines." I thought they were creative and different. I took a picture much like one I previously posted in #10, so I think thats neat. And, I took a photo of drinks and random things that were sitting at a table in the shape of a line. Overall, I was proud with my lines assaignment!

Internet Lines #10

I like this photo because it's very intense. You've got a dark, cloudy sky and what looks like a never ending train track.

Very intersesting trees in the form of lines. The buildings in the backround help out with the whole "lines" effect as well. I think it's a very neat picture.

I like this photograph becaue the photographer took a very "boring" subject--or something we see everyday and made it very interesting.

I think this picture is so busy, I like it. It' got an overwelming amount of lines, which I find unique and creative!

I like this picture, because for my lines assaignment I took one VERY similar!

Reflecting on Depth of Field Roll #9

I thought that my depth of field role was decent. I think my photos could have been a little more creative. Like, I took a picture of a sign that I made when I was little and blurred out the backround. It was an okay picture, but I think I could of shot a more creative picture for shallow depth of field. Maybe I could of done a close up on my goat and had the backround blurred. And same for the "long" depth of field, instead of taking a picture of my street at at distance, I could of taken a picture of say the lawn at uva.

More Internet Findings #8

I would guess that the apperture used to take this photo was a large apperture. Im guessing it's large because the pictures so close. This photo is a great exaple of shallow depth of field because the subject is focused on and the backround is completely blurred out.

This photo I think could be an example of shallow debth of field or long debth of because it's focus on the eight ball and a little blurred in the back, but its also pretty focused throughout. Although, I'm gonna display this as shallow debth of feild because this is what I noticed first when I saw the picture. And, as far as apperture, Im not sure. I'd say a small apperture.

I'd guess that a large apperture was used to take this. This photo is definitely an example of shallow debth of feild because it's close to the bee's and blurred in the backround.

Maybe a small apperture, although-it could vary and same goes to all the pictures above. It really depends on the time of day and the lighting. This picture is an example of "long depth of field" because it's not close up, it's more of a lanscaping photograph.

Because this picture is taken far away-it has a "long" depth of feild rather then a shallow.
Im not sure what the apperture would be. But, i'd say somewhere in the middle because it was taken when the sun goes down.

Another great example of "long" debth of field because the picture is "long." As in it's more broad, more scenic. It's not focused on one thing and the backround is not blurred-like shallow depth of field. Yoiu can see an entire view. (hard to explain) Im guessing that a very small apperture was used because it's in the middle of the day and the sun's out.

Reflecting on Motion Pics #7

I honestly was very happy with my motion pictures. I took both of the pictures of my goats. The first one was of my two baby does and they were playing on these tree stumps in they're pin, and I took a photo as both of they're noses were pointing down. Which I really liked. The other picture I took was of their mom "Lila" and while she was "ah ahh ahhhing" I snapped a shot. I think it's a super neat photo, although I wasn't quite focused in on her when I took is, so it's kinda of blurry. And, that was the only "bad" thing about my motion pictures. I was happy otherwise! ;)
