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.

Magazine Tips

1) When designing my magazine cover, a unique cover is important. My photos should be their own and nobody else's.  I also would like to try to include as many elements as I can in my photos, like colors and pictures,  to create a more interesting visual appeal to the magazines. Many rules of photography should be shown in my picture, to provide variation and add more detail to my magazine The coverline should stand out in case of extreme conditions. The reader should be drawn to the magazine by only looking at the cover if they are unable to look through all of the pages. My magazine cover should somehow have the same look as my brandname, and should stick to some sort of theme. It should look familiar and relate to my other covers. Variation is good, but some people have no constant appeal group.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO Questions

Image
Aperture F2.8 F16 or higher 1. The pupil is the body part that has a similar to the function of aperture, because it is a hole that lets light pass through the human eye. 2. The smaller the aperture, the larger the f-stop value is. The higher the aperture, the lower the f-stop is. 3. Aperture impacts depth of field because it can sharpen objects in the image. To create depth, the background becomes more unfocused because the main subject is very clear and focused. The main subjects will become sharp and the background will become blurry as aperture is adjusted, which can make a photo very appealing. Shutter Speed High shutter Slow shutter 1. With light a) At a booth in the middle of the courtyard near a tree, I would use a slow shutter speed because there is not much motion going on. b) In a food booth outside under one of the red awning, I would use a slow shutter speed because the red awning would block out light from the image. c) During the Silver St...

School Uniforms

1. I would interview a teacher, the principle, and a student that attends the school. Why do you think our school needs uniforms? How do you feel about school uniforms? What do other people think about this? What colors do you think the uniforms should be? Will boys and girls have different uniforms? Are there going to be uniforms according to the weather? Will there be required shoes for the dress code? Is jewelry allowed with the uniforms? Do you think people are going to follow the uniforms 100%? Will there be any consequences for people that break the new dress code? Who will be enforcing the uniforms? Will teachers have to follow the uniforms also? Do you think this uniform will make the school "a better learning environment"? When will the new uniform be enforced? Is the uniform required or encouraged? Are their rules on what hair style students should have? Why is everyone feeling this way about the uniforms? Is there a specific reason as to why th...
