Africa Project preview

This Africa powerpoint was amazing all the picture on in look so stunning. All the animals captured in the pictures were all well took. The poses of the animals were outstanding. Black and white gave the pictures or effect to the background.  

This picture is my favorite out of the rest. I like the way the elephant is posed. This dust ball looks like it hit the elephant straight in the face but the animal doesn't seem to care and just walking along. It looks so clear the way the dust goes across the elephant.

a. What kind of camera did he use?

Pintex 67ll only two fixed lens
b. What is his reason for taking the photos?

Show that the animals have reason and are wonderful creatures.
c. What is his hope by taking these types of photos?

Wanted to show that all living creatures are beautiful.
d. Find something he has to say about Africa and post the quote on your blog

I'm not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild. What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us. To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera. The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes.

Academics Shoot Review

The Story

I think this one tells the best story. This tells me a day in science class not just a normal day but a day everyone is excited for. Everyone likes doing labs in class they are the most fun. It seems that foam has shot in to the air from a reaction that has happen. These girls are very happy.

Action and Emotion

This picture shows a teacher holding another older teacher as a hostage.The old man does not seem scared, they seem to be playing around because of the smiles on there faces. 

Academics and Community Service

I chose this picture because i found it interesting. This reminds me when me and my friend use to go into the woods and pretend we were navy seal. They look like they are ready to leave from a mission they have done. This picture shows the rule of thirds.

Filling the Frame

This frame is filled with many people. All the people are around one desk and are feeling on the smoke that is being created in the middle. This picture if full of things.

1. Where do you think you could take photos like the ones you look at today?

I think we can take some like this in the library or in the fine arts building.

2. Whose classroom would you like to visit and take photos in?

I would like to go in the art room and gym and library.
3. What will you do, as the photographer, to get amazing photos like you look at today?
I will try to get the best lighting and angle. I will also try to position the object in a great place.

9/11 reflection

 This picture shows merging. All the lights are so bright t seems to light up the whole block. Most the light shines on each other on most building are hard to see.

 This picture shows simplicity. There was another picture of the flag from a far distance. i picked the closer one because it shoes only the flag brining it out.

 This picture shows discussion. The picture just shows one thing with the some back ground. It is zoomed in to the WTC which mean World Trade Center.

 This picture is framed. It show the two girls in the very front walking down the street. In the back it shoes all the cars parked and the no cars in the middle of the road.

 This picture shows balance. It shows the building that is destroyed in the accident. This building look the same on both sides.

 This picture shows the rule of third. It picture is about the road being all dirty. The bull dossier in the other hand is so big you have nothing to do but to look at it. This is the main attraction on the right side.

This picture shows lines, lots of them. The top part is where the fire is going on and most people didn't want to burn alive. Close to the bottom theres a man that has jumped off. This seems pretty sad that this had to happen.

Photo manipulation and ethic

The picture has three missiles launching in the sky in the desert range in Iran. There was suppose to be 4 but one failed to fire. Some one photoshopped the picture to make it seem like there is four. This was maybe to scare the United States and to show there that there entry is strong.

I like the way they changed this picture. The news paper in the left side seems to have changed her teeth to make them look better. This is a good thing to have edit her teeth. Many people would have made fun of the women with her nasty teeth.
