This is my picture changed me the most by showing me how a model unaware that he is being photographed is so much more life like and a authentic. As we can see in the picture Mason is just playing around and has no idea that people are taking pictures of him. A model that is aware of the picture would not be as real as someone that is unaware because someone that is aware would either try to model for the picture or try to fix flaws about very trivia things making it seem that much more touched up. An aware model can capture the joys and sadness of the day without having to try to put on a fake smile.

5. The Elements of Art shape and form are very similar in the aspects that they use geometric shapes.  The difference is that shape uses two dimensional such as squares and circles. they are flat and show width and length. Form is a three dimensional object. Examples of this can be a sphere, pyramid, or a cylinder. 

Element of Art - Form

Element of Art - Shape

6. Pattern is when object or symbol is repeated all over a piece of art. Repetition uses a  pattern to make the work of art seem alive. Repetition of certain items within the design creates a sense of unity within the work of art.

Final Project - Nature 

I believe that my Final project Nature was the best because the pictures that I took were not limited to the school like I usually do. I went around my neighborhood trying to spotting pictures of nature that I could take. At that point I had the most experience taking pictures and using camera raw so i could fix the picture the best at this point. This Project made me enjoy nature much more then i did and show me that nature is dieing out because humans are changing the land to fit it for there personal needs. I learned to look that the small things because when i was looking for nature for my pictures it was very difficult. So i had to look beyond what I actually saw right in front of me to things that where much further away.

Photo Story MCW

On, Friday students were asked to enter the assembly hall for the annual multicultural assembly for msjhs. The students lined up in the the bleachers(picture 1) and waited for the beginning of the assembly. As it start there was a band that played a song i did not know the name of the. Bollywood dance(picture 2) was one of the first dances that took place. Afterwards it was beat boxing clubs turn to take the stage(picture 3). They had such songs as the Harlem Shake and Up Town Funk. Next its was the martial arts club, tinikling, and drums of Japan. After all these clubs had finished it was time for the Chinese dance(picture 4) which was done greatly by students. Finally, it was Senior Bhangra(picture 5). They also did a great job to finish the up the assembly.  

Story with a Photo- Gun Range

One day we went to the gun range with my some of my cousins. We had an Ar-15 which belonged to my eldest cousin. We had to wait for the sound to be able to go out and put our target for risks of getting shot. My cousin was the first one to shoot he fired a whole clip into the target around eight shots. The it was my brothers turn. He had earlier experience because he and my eldest cousins were the one that had fired a gun before. It was my turn the Ar-15 had a scope and I was at first told to hold the gun standing up, but if that became difficult to change to sitting down and fire like that. The first shot I was not expecting the recoil, and was jerked back. I then decided to sit down for that it was difficult. We shot the gun for 2 hours I used 32 rounds around 4 clips.

Favorite Photo LENS blog paragraph 2/25/15

Football Game picture #5

This picture is our favorite because the solitary eagle looks majestic standing way from the crowd. The rules that are displayed in this picture Natural Framing, Depth of Field, and Symmetry. The sky and the stadium lights are the reason that this picture show natural framing. The clearness of the eagle and the blurriness of the stands give a feel of depth of field in this picture. The mascot cutting the picture in half with football players on both sides of the picture makes the picture look symmetrical.

4. Exchange of Wheat

Poster Assignment

My favorite picture from Picture of the Day Syria and Elsewhere is picture nine. Picture nine is my favorite picture in this series because it give a very mysterious feeling to it.

Lastly I like the background the way the fog covers the trees shows great background.

2. Which photo is the best from the slideshow? Provide three reasons.

The best picture would have to go to picture two. This picture is a very realistic picture. You  have the mother with her two crying children and a guard's arm pointing to the direction they have to go. This picture displays the rule of thirds with the man standing on the left. In the background there is a ton of stuff going on u have the guards then the panicked civilians.There is also a shallow depth of field in this picture.

3.  What is your best work this semester? Include the blog link. Give three reasons why this is your best work. If you had more time, how would you do to improve the project.

My best work this semester would have to be the album cover picture that I took. This is the best picture because my understanding of Photoshop shop was the best at this time compared to all the other picture.

The way the background starts of light and as you go down gets darker and darker.
