B) review


This photograph deminstrates shutter speed. Using a fast shutter speed allowed to water to look clear and smooth whereas a slow shutter speed will make the water appear foggy and white. Aperature is also demonstrated by this image. In order to obtain enough light when you change a shutter, you need to change the aperature. If you were to only change the shutter speed the image would be to dark. As you make the shutter speed shorter ther, you need to make the aperature bigger.














2]UNDERSTANDING
danny lyon was one of most influencial photographers. not only did his work illistrate various elements such as texture, shape, line, etc., but he also incorperated stories his each photography. i think danny lyon inflused many photographers that followed because he was one of the first to travel around with people, such as biker gangs, and show that they are differnt they people expected. the elements, design, ans stories in the photos have influensed danny lyon to quicklybecome one of my favorite photograhers and for me to want to espire to incorperate such techniques in my own photography.


3] PERFORMANCE

 documentary













The documentay assignment is supposed to illistrate what daily life was like for me.
i think this photo is a good example of documentary because it shows a good example of what life is like for me. The image is strog overall. it has alot going on, but the trianglular shape created by tthe people and the dog move you eyes across the photo.
rule of thirds and foreground/background













The goal of the rule of thirds is to split the photo into proportopns of 1/3 to 2/3's. As you can see the edge of the road spits the photo. It shows foreground and background beacuse the railing and steps are in the foreground and the street is the background. I also like that the railing directs your eyes to the flowers at the bottom of the stairs.


portrait


















There are four main light effects used in portriture. This particular portrait deminstracts broad light. You can identify the lighting effect as broad beacuse the side of the face toward the camera is lighten. Overall, this is a pretty good image. It demonstartes many good portriture techniqyes, not only in lighting. For example having the shoulder pointed away and the face pointed towrd the camera areimportant for portriture. This technique is important because the people dont look like they have a tiny head on huge sholders.

Abstract
Abstract photographs demonstrate a sence of mystery.This image is a good example of abstract because you dont know what it is right away. Someone may have to stare at this photo all day to figure out what it is. The contrast in light at the bottom and dark at the top also adds to the mystery.

Abstract














An image that is conceived apart from concrete reality, generally emphasizing lines, colours and geometrical forms, and their relationship to one another is know as abstract. The extrodinary lines and patter created by the shadowins in the photograph make it abstract. The pattern and shades over all make it and interesting ans unique photo to look at.

Abstract












This is an intersting photograph because the reflection of the papers in the windsheld. could you tell that this was in a car if i hadnt told you? even if you could tell, would this picture be as intersting if the reflection wasnt there. The shapes created in the reflection adds a nice bit of curiosity to the photo, therefore making it a perfect abstarct photo.
