Abandoned Theme Parks

1) I would like to go to Spreepark in Berlin Germany and take pictures there. I want to go there because the atmosphere there seems very spooky and dramatic. The image that I first saw of it was the most menacing photo out of all of the other ones, which automatically caught my eye. Also, swans seem to be a theme throughout the park, which gives many opportunities for unique photos. Tall trees fill out the scenery in the park which shade the amount of light coming into the photo, which makes the mood darker. The ferris wheel seems like the most fun subject to shoot because the scenery is beautiful, yet dark. There is also water there where boats would go there, and it pristine and clear. This would be great to shoot because of all the different elements and photo opportunities the park would give you, and it is in a foreign place.



Five places that I think would be very cool to document and take photos of:
1) haunted hotel
2) shipwreck
3) abandoned town
4) graffiti park
5) old house

This is a photo from someone who documented an abandoned town or "ghost town." I think that it would be very different to shoot an abandoned town because every town is different and unique. A town can have many things and buildings in it. The fact that the town is not occupied by anything seems very mysterious and interesting, which I think can catch a lot of good photos. Also, there is always a reason why a town was abandoned, and the photos can help tell the stories of that town. This theme is great because the thought of an abandoned town sends an eerie feeling through me, and it would be awesome to e able to share and capture that.

In order to capture an abandoned town, I would need a car to drive to an old town somewhere in the south of Texas. An old town will probably be a reserved area, so I would need to consider the cost to get into a place, gas money, and maybe parking. In equipment, I would just need a standard high quality camera, and a tripod for very still shots.

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
