Learning from other photographers

I admire this picture because of how close the shot is and the timing. I want to learn how only to focus on the object  and not the background. That is what I admire about this photo

Blog Post 1 A Photo I Admire

What appeals to me in this photo is the fact that everything is in focus. I also admire how the photographer took the picture and focused on the detail so much that all the lights are illuminating adding life to the picture. The background almost looks like a pull down screen but the photographer was able to use filters and visual effects as well as lighting to pull this off. This is something I aspire to learn during photography. This makes me want to become more familiar with the technique of snapping photos. This photo uses light from the head and tail lights to add effect. On top of this there are lines on the bottom of the mound that lead to the vehicle. Lastly what I notice is the simplicity of the background.

Inspiring photo

The reasoning behind my chosen picture was because of how I related it to real life and how it caught my attention. The roads irregular shape leads your eyes along with the simple background all being one color and made me focus on the man and what he was doing. In this photo we also see signs of background simplicity, and lines.

A Picture That I Admire.

The reason I chose this photo was for the love of a family member. This picture shows Ken Griffey Jr. and his father playing baseball on the same team. This picture resembles the passion of what someone special can do for you. i admire this photo a lot because it also shows that a sport can bring people even closer together than they ever were. Another reason why i admire this photo is that Ken Griffey Jr always wanted to be like his dad, and for him to play with him, made his dream come true. This picture has a deeper meaning than two people playing a sport they love.  The smiles on their faces are priceless in this picture. Its beautiful to see two family members bond so much. Also this photo shows love for a family member, a teammate, and most importantly, a figure in Ken Griffey Jr's life.

The Photo I Admire

The reason I chose this photo is because it conveys the character's fate. Judging from the blood on his nose, we see that he is injured or perhaps dead. The background and the overall mood of the picture suggests that the character in the picture is in a state of limbo. As for this class, I hope that I learn how to take professional photographs and to learn the meaning behind a photo. 

My Admirable Photograph

I enjoy this photo mainly due to its lighting. The focus on the subject that the lighting provides is very immaculate. The "frame in frame" on the subject created by the lighting is also great. Along with all of these things I am a Lakers fan, and a Kobe Bryant fan. This adds a bit of an emotional connection to the picture.

First Day: A Photo That I Admire

I really admire this picture because of the many different features it displays. The setting of the picture is very relaxing. The symmetry of the whole picture is outstanding. It shows a lot of realism and the perspective of the photo is on point. This photo deserves admiration.

Eiffel Tower Night Life

When I think of the perfect picture I think of a picture that can take me to the place where the picture is taken. The picture of the Eiffel tower is such a picture. The reason is because even though I have not visited Paris let alone the Eiffel tower I can easily see myself being where this picture is taken. The reason is because the picture is not taken in the air or in a helicopter it is taken on the ground on a sidewalk which can easily mimic the eyes of a civilian. Also the red stream of light is a cool aspect to this picture.

Photograph that I admire

I chose this photo because it has a lot of sentimental value to me. To me it sums up my entire experience at Benedict's, one that I truly loved. It marks the end of various journeys that have taken place throughout my life, specifically at Benedict's. It marks the end of the trail, my last time being out there as a student,and that my years at the school are coming to a close. After these past two days of class I can now pinpoint some of the techniques that were coincidentally used. 

Including: a simple background, leading lines, and some natural visual effects the environment gave off.

I hope to learn how to intentionally execute the use of the skills I hope to learn in this class. Being able to take amazing pictures is my goal,

Assignment No. 1

This picture was taken last year while I was on the Appalachian Trail sitting at my checkpoint at around 5pm nearing sunset. This picture is one of my favorites because it started out as an accidental front camera slip. Then after I played with the contrast and sharpened it up, a  silhouette became apparent which really focused on not only me but the colors that are visible. The sky is an array of blue shades and despite the leaves being darkened, you can appreciate small parts of it's color. Also, I love pictures of nature, especially when a person or animal is interacting with it. The life of the animal/person brings out the life of nature which visually speaks to me.
After today, I can also point out that my picture shows a lot of negative space drawing focus on the leaves and my hair as well as color blocking.

Photo

I chose this picture because i like the nature of the world and at the same time i like things that are mysterious like in this picture of the boat in transparent water that seems that is flying because the photographer is using the composition of light and shadows and another composition what the photographer use for the boat be more outstanding is the composition of simple background . i hope to learn in this course how to take a photography in another perspective and how to take great pictures. 

Admirable Photo

         I've always enjoyed how black and white pictures looked like especially when there is a color splash included. It makes the photos pop more with a vibrant color placed in the photo. Each photo looks like there is a hidden meaning to it and you just have to find it. I also like color splash because I always wanted to do it but with my own material (my own photos). Also, it is intriguing how black and white photos give the picture more depth than a fully colored portrait. Also, with the topics we learned, the many elements of composition made this photo look even better.

Photo I admire

The reason I chose this picture is because, I took this picture and this I feel is my best work. I have chosen this picture because when I was in Martha Vineyard going to my house of which is right on the coast of the island. I saw this perfect moment to take a picture, the boat fell in place and the sunset was perfect. I took a few until a bird flew right above the sunset and I got a absolutely perfect picture.
