Shutter Speed, Exposure, and Aperture
This week we reviewed a significant amount of information on lighting
resources and depth of field. In this discussion you will provide us
with a short breakdown of your favorite resource from the lecture. In
addition you will share with us an addition an example depth of field
found either online or in print (scan it and post it.)
Once you have posted this discussion please tell us which photographer you will be researching for Project 1, and a few details about this photographer and why you chose him/her.

I like dept of field because it shows the subject or focus of the picture.

ReplyDeleteI particularly like depth of field especially when it came down to us experimenting with the ameras around the school. it was difficult capture but interesting enough to keep on attempting without frustration.
ReplyDeletei have done a lot of research and i have the photographers narrowed down to two.
Dorothea Lange: her most famous photograph was the "migrant mother". she was known to shedding light on the then current conditions and effects of the depression.
Christin Armstrong: she is the CEO and sole photographer for Mocha Kids magazine. Her more notable photographs are those of her youngest child Riley. I chose Christen Armstrong based off the fact that she is the photographer for my favorite natural hair public figures. her work really emulates the essence of natural beauty in women.
The depth of field focuses on the subject. I found it quite interesting to capture different subjects at countless angles, even though it also pretty difficult. Sometimes the subject does not have to be perfect. I have researched on photographer Diane Arbus. After studying under Lisette Model, she experimented with shooting her subjects (who were totally weird, strange and disturbing) by utilizing different apertures and focal lengths; furthermore, she contrasted portraits that were in black and white or color, and various textures. I chose Arbus because of her interests in the imperfections of her subjects (i.e., deformed limbs, mental disabilities). In a nutshell, it seemed as though the people were sideshow freaks.
ReplyDeletei have personally taken pictures making depth of field . , Using it normally enhances the photo, whether its in the form reflection or a shadow or distance.its an eyecatcher.
ReplyDeleteMy preferences happen to be monochromatic shades.
you are very fortunate to make an obvious focus of subject using monochromatic colors. i find it difficult personally. i particularly need a specific color to have contrast against the rest of the photograph in order to easily identify the focus.
Deletewell, i am. ive always had an eye for monochromatic pictures. they have a certain poetry about that serve as classic authenticity.
DeleteAfter experiencing the lecture of depth of field in class I found it to be a real important concept to master or have a lot of practice with because it can allow us to take images that are perceived more professional that images that were taken without any regular to how they will look. The thing I found out during the lecture that I thought was important was how to focus your camera at your subject so that it wouldn't be blurry and to dark and to bright. There were also other aspects of taking pictures that were covered in the lecture that I found out to be very important when taking a picture which are how to use the shutter speed, the exposure settings. and the aperture to create good photographs which shows the depth of field in your image.Tthe following link shows an example of depth of field that I found to summarizes what the lecture well: http://photographywisdom.com/understanding-depth-of-field-for-the-beginner-photographer-1182.html.The photographer I will be researching for the Project 1 assignment is called Ansel Adams. Ansel Adams was best known for his iconic images of the American West, including Yosemite National Park. The reason I chose this photographer was that I am interested in learning how taking photos in black and white can have a different impact on people in the sense of how they tend to look at landscape images.
ReplyDeleteTHE photographer i'll be writing about is Robert Glenn Ketchum the reason being the depth of field his photos show
ReplyDeleteEven though I was not present I have had the chance to experiment with depth of field and found it to produce some of my favorite pictures. Having your main subject be in sharp detail compared to the blurred background makes it seem like its jumping out the frame. As far as a photographer goes Im thinking of going with Galen Rowell. He was a renowned landscape photographer as well as an author.
ReplyDeleteI have found the depth of field subject very interesting. Camera angle makes a big difference in how much depth of field is in a shot. The photographer I will write about is Annie Leibovitz. She is a renowed portrait photographer who is notable for working at Rolling Stone magazine and taking picyures of iconic subjects such as John Lennon, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Gates, Demi Moore, and more.
ReplyDeleteI chose Annie Leibovitz not only because she didn't just take normal portrait shots, but she had her subjects pose in unconventional ways and her photos of Demi Moore and John Lennon are iconic and were imitated to a certain degree. Her style was revolutionary. She is still shooting, most notably as of late, Kim Kardashian for Vogue magazine which has stirred much controversy.
