photog ISU part 2

I want my photo shoot to be throughout multiple days and a variety of places with some kind of nature feel to it. I want my pictures to have a calm but beautiful feel to it with mainly nature in it. I want my pictures to be bright and colourful and some with a light concept with the sun.

Location

• Fifty point
• my backyard
• maybe on the escarpment 
• my house (since my cats an indoor cat)

Props

• a friend (not sure who yet)
• my kitten or cat
• mainly usage of natural props

Lighting plan-

sun setting or in the middle of the day when the suns at its brightest.

Shot ideas:

1) very shadowed from the sun

2)at least on up high

3) a picture with my kitten

Mark Dumbleton

I find Mark Dumbleton likes sunset and close up shots best from the genre I've seen from him. they cause a shadowy effect but since they're so zoomed in (on the animal shots) you can see specific details in their face that the common eye can't usually see especially from the distance he's at from these animals. I find is pictures unique and better than a lot I've seen because his light usage and how focused he needs to have his camera before he actually captures it. I saw that a lot of photographers take pictures quickly and don't want to take the time to get the "right shot." I chose is Africa photo shoot only because I love Africa as well as the animals in it! it was just about technique for me! I looked up Africa photo shoots and then I choose who could take the best pictures there in the harsh conditions of Africa. 

 

I like this picture best because they're are so many pictures similar by other photographers but this one actually has different angles and make it more effective like this that other photographers couldn't do. To me this picture represents freedom because in my point of view so many stars aren't just beautiful but they're never ending and go for miles and miles, no matter where you go, there's always stars. how the rock and tree are also draw your eyes to the stars and the brighter white part that looks a little like the milky way. I like the angles in this picture with the sky and how they have it with the rock and tree and on top of that, on the left side it looks like the sun is starting to rise in this picture which causes some light effects as well. I think he used flash for this picture so the rock and tree look brighter and it looks like day time but behind it is all dark and the stars are out.

Action Photography Questions

1.      In the first paragraph what Knowledge does the author say are important to getting good action shots?

Some basic action-shooting skills, and some knowledge of the activity you're photographing.

2.      What Skills?

Panning, peak action, follow-focusing, pre-focusing and developing a sense of timing.

3.      Timing: Why is it important to know about the subject you are shooting?

You'll see those key moments developing, and be ready to capture them when they occur.

4.      When do you press the shutter to ensure you capture the peak action moment.

A second before it happens

5.      Name three tips given in deciding where your point of view will be. (Placement of the camera)

1)      where to put the camera

2)      outdoors

3)      lighting

4)      timing

6.      Explain the concept of Panning.

A slow shutter speed to partially blur motion. Different shutter speeds, starting with 1/30. Make a person come out clear for the most part while the background is streaky and blurred.

7.      What do you think the author means by Pre-Focussing? Look at your camera; describe how you can do this with step by step instructions.

When you prefocus it makes the image more clear when your subject is in that area.

8.      What is Predictive Auto Focus (AF)? Does your camera have this function? Use your manual if you are unsure.

Yea I have it! It changes the aperture settings and shutter speed to what your camera thinks is best suited for that picture. Manual makes it easier to get the best picture.
