Monday: The purpose of photography is to capture events and memories. And to express the world and the lives of people through a form of art. It also helps the world see things that are happening that words cannot fully express. Tuesday: I think the biggest problem with the photography ethics debate is that this discussion has so many grey areas and things that could be left up to subjective opinion. So much of the conversations have no really clear right and wrong and many things are hard to discuss, because, again there are a lot of subjective subjects and topics to be discussed. There are many things that are clearly not ok, for example editing and corrupting photos for journalism and reporting news. But other things such as modeling, cropping, the use of photoshop in general are not super clear in where the line is and this makes it hard to discuss these things in an attempt to find an objective right or wrong, because in a lot of case, there isn't one. Wednesday: quiz Thursday: Focal length, usually represented in millimeters (mm), is the basic description of a photographic lens. It is not a measurement of the actual length of a lens, but a calculation of an optical distance from the point where light rays converge to form a sharp image of an object to the digital sensor or 35mm film at the focal plane in the camera. The focal length of a lens is determined when the lens is focused at infinity. It is measured this way because this is the measurement that actually matters when taking a photo, not the actual size of a lens. Friday: I would love to explore more on how to actually use these things we are learning on my camera. Im starting to understand more about what happens in exposure and that sort of thing. Now, I would really like to know more on how to to it and adjust these settings when I'm taking photos. The video made a lot of sense about how these 3 things work together to create depth of field and expose. I thought it was crazy how technical it can get because all I have ever used is a point and shoot before.

Monday: There are two types of digital graphics files – vector and raster. Vector images are made of hundreds of thousands of tiny lines and curves (or paths) to create an image. Raster images are composed of pixels. -Vector images, which are made of thin lines and curves known as paths, are rooted in mathematical theory. Vector graphics must be created in computer software that is designed to create this intricate wireframe-type image and each line includes defined node positions, node locations, line lengths and curves. -Raster images are often called bitmap images because they are made of millions of tiny squares, called pixels. You can identify a raster or bitmap image by looking at it very closely. If you zoom in enough, you will be able to see the square outlines of each pixel It is important to know the difference to be aware of how to use each one correctly. It is also important to be able to format them because they are different, vector especially being harder to use. It Is also important to know that vector images have to made on a computer software. This will help with clarity as a photographer. Tuesday:
Wednesday: Composition is the arrangement of artistic elements together t make a single, whole, thing, such as a photo, painting, etc. 1. Perspective- Even though the human eye sees things subjectively, the camera still sees things objectively. So, we have to change our point of view or perspective in where we are taking the photo from in order for it to capture the image in our minds. 2. Dynamics-change things such as light to guide the eyes of the viewer to see what the main subject and points of the photograph are 3. Leading Lines- These are lines that guide the eyes of the viewer so that they can "read" the photo and see where their eyes are supposed to go. These can be very direct, or more natural and dynamic. 4. Capture Moments- Waiting for time, shape, and form. Can capture different moments without any distracting elements. 5. Fill the frame- Filling the frame with content can be a way of reducing distractions and focusing the eye of the viewer onto the main object or subject of the photograph. 6. Reduce and Simplify- by getting closer and cropping, gets rid of the distractions. 7. Rule of thirds- This goes along with perspective, but this places the primary subject in one of the intersecting lines and makes the photograph such more interesting. Thursday: I think that photography is an amazing way to share Jesus Christ with others because of the effect that art can have on people. When you capture beauty and magical moments, it leads to an amazing opportunity to give glory for this wonderful creation to a perfect creator. So when someone takes photos with excellent;lence I think a very simple next step is to bring back glory to God for the beauty that you have captured. Friday: The ethics of photography is a code that journalists and photographers must work by which protects the reliability of a source, video, or photograph. The ethic of photography might be a concern in something like a news article or report, where people are affected by the way that they are presented. This concerns me because I never want to falsely portray a person, place, or image, so this ethical code provides a guide on how to not do this.
Monday: Martin Luther King Day Tuesday: I do not know much about Adobe photoshop or Adobe Bridge or how to use them. I do know that edit photos in creative ways. Wednesday: I think my biggest struggle as a photographer is capturing the right amount of exposure/light to make it a good photo. also, there are some times when my photos are not a clear as I would want them to be. Thursday: Based on my experience so far, I do agree with this statement. photography is an art, not something you just "take", art is something that you make. Photography is something that without someone making it happen, the image would not carry the beauty that it does. Friday: The hardest software for me to get was the photoshop. Mow, however I am understanding how to format the photos more. There is still some confusion on how to format turning things in. As in do it everyday more and more, the bellwork aspect of things is becoming easier.
Monday: first day Tuesday: The purpose of photography is to capture events and memories, and to express the world and the lives of people through a form of art.
