Monday, November 10, 2014 American Soldier slide show and captions (review)

This is one of the most powerful photos of the slide show because it demonstrates how much the family loves him. 

C. How do the images work together to tell a story?

I think that most of the pictures are good but they are not as strong as them  working together .

A. For the photos in which Ian is the main subject of the photos, in what tense are the verbs usually written? 

We can find every single emotion from sadness to happiness. We can see when he decides to join the army, when he says goodbye to all his friend and family, when he comes back...

Present Tense: John jumps down the stairs

B. How do the captions enhance the photographs?

The captions are an explanation of the photo, it helps us understand the picture better.

Self Portrait and Portraits Part I

 Play with Eye Contact

It is amazing how much the direction of your subject’s eyes can impact an image. Most portraits have the subject looking down the lens – something that can create a real sense of connection between a subject and those viewing the image.

 Experiment with Lighting

Another element of randomness that you can introduce to your portraits is the way that you light them. There are almost unlimited possibilities when it comes to using light in portraits.

Experiment with Subject Expressions

In some portraits it is the expression on the face of your subject that makes the image.

Get your subject to experiment with different moods and emotions in your image. Play with extreme emotions

Environmental portrait: I really like the light and the posture of both of them.

 photography self portrait: i love how original they are and in the first one i love the funny feeling. The second one is just beautiful.

casual portrait: The first picture is beautiful. it is so natural and the mood of the picture is so clear. In the second The angle makes it look so much more interesting.

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
eye pupil
2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture the higher the number, the higher the Aperture The smaller the number.

a larger aperture means the background more focused and a smaller aperture means the object will be sharp and the background blurry.
