                                                                           Pin hole Camera


Pinhole cameras are very interesting. In our photo class we have just started to expieriment with them. You need to be carefull when you are shooting with them because if you even have a tiny bit of light that is coming in it will ruin you photo paper inside.

 

When you shoot your photo it will turn out negative (everything will be the oposite).

You need to have real expirients with them because they look easy to use but they are actually.

If you use them everything will be upsidedown

JR Project

I chose this photo because I like the way the the baby is adding humor to the photo but at the same time its a kinda depressing.

Its creating a funny but sad photo that just is really interesting.

It would make a great photo for our school style because its visual meaning could be individuality.

I like the style of individualty.

Go babies!

The three main light settings in photography.

First off I would like to say that these setting will get you good lighting not an award winning photo.

Alright.

The three main things that will make a good photo (in terms of lighting) are:
-ISO (ASA)
-Shutter speed
-Apature (F-Stop)

Starting with ISO

ISO is how sensitive the image sensor is to the amount of light present. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the image sensor and therefore the possibility to take pictures in low-light situations.
However, the more ISO the more grainy the photo. And when I say grainy I mean having little dots on the photo.
BUT that can create a really cool effect depending on how you use it.

Shutter Speed are really cool.
Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter is left open for. 
So for example.
If I were to set up a tripod at a night carnival and point at a Ferris wheel and set my shutter speed to 5-8 sec. I will get a really cool effect of the Ferris wheel in a blur (because its moving) and the rest of the carnival not blurry at all.
(I would set it at 10 sec shutter, around f.15 and ISO 100-400)
Play around with shutter speeds and experiment! You never know until you try! 


Lastly F-Stop
If you own a camera or are in touch with one, definitely try out different f-stops.
Why you ask?
The definition of F-stop or apature ring/ apature is the focal ratio.
If I were to have a big F-stop like f.22 then I would probobly get a really dark photo depending on your light conditions. But make your shutter speed 1/30 of a second and ISO 800 then you will get a photo that will not have a tight depth of field but a wide one. It'll make it have almost no depth of field. 


And always remember. If you change a setting on your camera always make sure your shutter speed, f-stop, whatever, will match up with the other light settings.


That's it 
Enjoy!



P.S. If you have anything to ask, I'm mostly always here.





Long exposure

This photo demonstrates a long exposure and high F/stop (3.6 sec. and f.22)

What the long exposure did is lets a lot of light in within the time period you set it to.

What the f-stop did is make the photo not over exposed is let a small amount of light in.

So both exposure and f-stop did was balance out to make a photo that was just right.

Food Photography

This is one of the coolest photos I have taken on food.
I recently got a gig taking photos of food for a little store in fort Langley and once I finished that, I got 60 bucks.


I wish I could do more!

Slow Shutter


This photo was taken at 1.6 seconds f-22 at ISO 100
Of a building.

Tight Depth Of Field

Just playing around with some macro things.
Its one of my successful ones. The other ones were all so blurry.

Nicely placed

I really love this photo. The reason why is because of the way this is placed. There is something about it that makes me feel depressed but in a good way. Courtesy of Windtale.
