Elements of Art and Principles of Design in Photography

Line are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.




Shape are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.




Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.




Value (Tone) refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.  Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art.


Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.


Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.  Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.
Space  refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or  negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

Photo Manipulation and Ethics

part 2: camera parts

aperture-A photograph's exposure determines how light or dark an image will appear when it's been captured by your camera
shutter-gives out the flash

exposure-Too much light and the picture will be washed out. Not enough light and the picture will be too dark
depth of field:refers to the range of distance that appears acceptably sharp. It depends on camera type like aperture and focusing distance.  

F-stop-changes the length by making the far part of the background blurry


focal length-Longer focal lengths are the  shorter exposure times to minimize blurring caused by shaky hands.

CAMERA HISTORY


1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved? Dark room and there was a hole acted like a lens, focusing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark chamber.


2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera? understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses

3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce?
digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. stored on reusable computer memory devices.



4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Nieces’ camera?
glass lens


5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image?
digital film


Carmera modes

6. What is the difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode?auto mode can change it on how you want it and program the camera just does every for you

7. What is the Portrait mode used for? How does it work? it just burs out everything in the background and focuses on what being shot

8. What is the Sports mode used for? (not just sports) How does it work? so when every something is moving really fast in the picture the camera can use sports mode to have highest shutter speed 

the half pass

Why should you do a half press on the trigger button?
so that it can be focus 

 Controlling flash

10. What does this symbol mean? no flash some photographers like to use  natural light
 When would you use this? when you dont want to use the flash on your photos
11.What does this symbol mean? auto flash
When would you use this? the camera thinks for you so when ever you take a picture it decides to fire the flash when ever there is low light

Introduction to exposure

12. What happens to your photo if there is too much light?
than the photo will be washed out
13. What happens to your photo if there is not enough light?
than it will be dark
the universal stop
14. What is a “stop.” is used in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change in the brightness of light.
15. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are two sons instead of one?
1
16. How many stops brighter is the new planet if there are four sons instead of two?
2
shutters and aperture 
17. What affect does a longer shutter speed of have? it has longer light
18. What affect does a shorter shutter speed have?less light
19. What does the aperture control? it control the lens opening
20. When adjusting the aperture, how can you increase the amount of light? by the f-stop setting

1st photos-Best and Worst





Best- I had like this photo because with the other ones they had been dark or the model was not facing at the camera but with this one it had good lighting and he was posing.




Worst-I didn't like this one because it wasn't in a good angle the lighting was dark and the shot was to close. and it had been from a angle where you could not see has face.
