Academic Shoot

This image shows simplicity very well, because there is only one subject, and the background is very simple. The subject is clearly the student, who is working from the back. The chalk board is not distracting the viewer from the subject, because it is one color, and the subject consumes most of the images space. If anything were to be changed, the writing on the board behind him could not be merging with his head, but it is faint and can definitely be fixed next time.
In this photo, I used the composition of rule of thirds. This is because the subject is slightly off to the right of the image frame, creating an illusion of rule of thirds. There is only one subject in this photo, and that is the teacher that is speaking to his students. There are many things that could be less distracting and make the subject more clear. For example, the students head, and the lamp merging with the computer. Overall, I think this photo is very simple and appealing with the lighting and subject.

 This photo shows balance because of the placement of the subject and angles of the photo. There are three subjects in this photo, and they are the three students, which are forming a line against the wall. I think that the subjects are pretty clear, but the background might have been a little too busy. I could have simplified the background, and the balance between the chalk board and white board could have been more even. I think this photo is good because of the emotion shown in it, and the clarity of the subjects.

    The bottom image is the strongest of the trio. Lots of energy and emotion there. You cropped it well. The one with the boys back is interesting but I just don't see "academic" and I wish you had gotten his face. The one of the teacher could have been cropped better and is just kind of plain. Changing your angle and moving closer would have helped that photo.

Sports Portfolio Notes

Runner Up Videos Travis Haughton Photos of stories Hidden faces, bad quality, too staged or planned They liked full body images, action shots, interesting background/levels I think the photography of this photographer because the images have very unique angles, but some of the images were not pleasing to the eye and some photos were not interesting enough. Jordan Murph Sports They do not like it when colors merge, there is no subject, very staged images, and silhouettes They like unique captured moments, angles, and good graphic composition This photographer is very repetitive, so I do not love this photographer’s portfolio. There was also many photos with bad lighting and composition, but some of the photos were very good action shots and seemed like good quality. Josh Birnbaum Stories They don’t like boring and simple photos, weird angles, half faces, and blurry photos.   They like when people get in the middle of the action, humor, ca

HDR Preview

Image
1. To create an HDR image, you will need to adjust the exposure of the photo the make lighting either over exposed or under exposed. 2. You will need to use a tripod to create an HDR image because you all need multiple pictures from the same angle and position. 3. Someone might take an HDR image because it makes an image or setting look more dramatic, and create an appealing look. Also, they can enhance images to make them seem a lot better than they actually are.  4. Whenever we see the pictures merge together, the dark and light exposures will even out to create the perfect HDR image.

Landscape Photography

1. One website that you can use to learn about the location you are going to shoot is Google Maps. 2. One app that I might download to check for angles of my photographs would be an app that tells me what the weather is going to be like whenever I go shoot. I also would like to know when the sun rises and sets. 3. The biggest problem when shooting with a zoom lens is that the foreground and the background tend to merge together in the images. 4. Instead of using HDR method, you can use ND grad method to capture the most detail. 5.  In case of bad weather, you should bring a waterproof plastic bag for your camera, appropriate clothing, and many cloths to clean the camera lens. 6.  Pre-scouting could help you when shooting because you can shoot that location from a different viewpoint than all of the other photographers have shot it from before. 7. The subject is more important than the composition, because the subject should influence the composition to create the perfect ph
