Great black and white photographers, PART 2

 

Eugene Atgewas born in Libourne, France, in 1857, and worked as a sailor; after that he was actor, at forty he quit acting, then he started painting. Finally he became a photographer, and began his true calling. He died in 1927 after a great life and long life.

pinhole finale

1)The negative is the mirror reflection of the positive, the negative has more white and the positive has more black, and you can see mostly everything in the negative more than you can in the positive.

2)Negative- Photography . noting an image in which the brightness values of the subject are reproduced so that the lightest areas are shown as the darkest.

The exposure to light causes the photo to print out on the paper. In a negative the tones are reversed so that highlights appear dark and shadows appear light and the opposite for positive. 
3)Bending on the corners of my photo are from the light refraction caused by the angle of the pinhole camera hole.

Rule of Thirds

The fire fighters have plenty of room within the picture to walk around. The people are not in the center of the photo so it shows the effect of the rule of thirds.

Avoiding Mergers

The focus of the photo is the group of people and the background is fuzzy with smoke. Since the focus is on one subject and doesn't drifed around the photo, it goes with avoiding mergers.

Framing

The black buildings give the fire and smoke on the main building more depth. It draws your eyes to the center of the photo.

Lines

This photo has the common s curve and to add to that it has lined that are diagonal.(the poeples shadows) The trail of people grab the attention of the veiwer and draws it up to the top of the photo.

Balance

This photo has a simple geometric shape(triangle) it adds strong visual unity. The three people are in differnet spots but they are connected.

Simplicity

In this photo the guy covered in dust is the main subject or the center of interest. It is framed vertical so that buildings and cars are not showing.

Inside of a camera and vocab.

Macro – the camera senses when you’re taking a close-up shot.

Artifact: These are unwanted image abnormalities like Chromatic Aberrations, Blooming, Moire, Noise, JPG Compression and others.

barrel distortion: This will cause images to look inflated near the center of each corner (like an old CRT TV). It usually occurs on wide-angle lenses and at the wide end of the zoom.

Histogram: Histograms represent brightness distribution in digital images. They are important to evaluate correct exposure. The height (y-axis) represents the amount of pixels and the x-axis represents the brightness value.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aperture-It dilates and contracts to control the diameter of the hole that the light passes though, to let in more or less light. It is controlled by the f-stop ring.

shutter-is a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light-sensitive electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene.

exposure-is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium (photographic film or image sensor) during the process of taking a photograph

depth of field-is the amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in a photograph.

F-stop-the maximum aperture of the lens.

focal length-of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges (focuses) or diverges (defocuses) light.

2 pinhole photos i like and dislike

I think this is a good photo because it is very clear, you can even see the water drops on the plant. I picked this one because i like how it is shot, most of the plant is shown not just one flower. The main flower and its leafs are in focus and the rest is out of focus.

I think this photo is bad because it has a ugly hand covering up the cool tree. The hand and the background are blurry, every things kinda fuzzy. The photo is out of focus and i don't think any of it is in focus.
