Hurricane Ike

This picture showing the destructive force of hurricane Ike, follows the rule of "sense of  depth".

I picked this picture because the damages of Ike in this picture are show clearly: woods, boats.. rely on the path of the highway, that means that the strong winds or the water brought those pieces onto the highway

The rule of "leading lines" dominates this picture,as a matter of fact the subject of this photo is the building that has manny lines in his structure.
I chose this picture because it shows how hurricane Ike damaged many constuctions; even skyscrapers.

Great Black and white photographers, PART 2

Arnold Newman( 3 March 1918, New York--6 June 2006,New York), was an American photgrapher, noted for his "environmental portraits"of artists and politicians.

 He was also known for his carefully composed abstract still life images.

Newman graduated high school in Miami Beach and attended the Univesity of Miami studying painting and drawing with an introduction to Modernism.

Here are some exemples of his portraits:

The Camera

• Parallax:  is an apparent displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines
•  Pentaprism:  a five-sided reflecting prism used to deviate a beam of light by 90°. The beam reflects inside the prism twice,^[1] allowing the transmission of an image through a right angle without inverting it (that is, without changing the image's handedness) as an ordinary right-angle prism or mirror would
• Pellicle mirror:  pellicle mirror (diminutive of "pellis" - skin or film) is an ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight semi-transparent mirror employed in the light path of an optical instrument, splitting the light beam into two separate beams, both of reduced light intensity. Splitting the beam enables its use for multiple purposes simultaneously, while the thinness of the film greatly reduces reflections commonly associated with glass beam splitters.
• SLR camera: a camera that typically uses a semi-automatic moving mirror system that permits the photographer to see exactly what will be captured by the film or digital imaging system (after a very small delay), as opposed to pre-SLR cameras where the view through the viewfinder could be significantly different from what was captured on film. (The Canon Pellix film camera was an exception wherein the mirror was a fixed beamsplitting pellicle.)
• Aperture: Aperture is a photo editing and management software program that was developed by Apple for the Mac OS X operating system.The software handles a number of tasks common in post-production work such as importing and organizing image files, applying corrective adjustments, displaying slideshows, and printing photographs.
• Shutter: a 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. A shutter can also be used to allow pulses of light to pass outwards, as in a movie projector or signal lamp.
• Exposure: In photography, 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 the field: the depth of field (DOF) is the portion of a scene that appears acceptably sharp in the image
• F-stop:  the diameter of the entrance pupil in terms of the focal length of the lens

• Focal lenght: measure of how strongly the system converges (focuses) or diverges (defocuses) light.

Pinhole camera

• I picked this photo because represent a boat tied to the dock.I love seaside and this photo reminds me of great times
• the rope is out focus and the boat is in focus

Pinhole Finale

The process that turned the negative picture into a positive picture
shows two differences between them:

• in the negative the trees are in the left side, now,in the positive the trees are on the left side.
• the black parts in the negative, turn white in the positive picture,and the white parts in the negative, turn black in the positive

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

A negative image is a total inversion of a positive image, in which light areas appear dark and vice versa.

 

 

avoiding mergers

 

the man cut in half puts our attention on the twin towers terrorist attack

framing

 

the bridge gives my photo a feeling of depth, the center of interest is in the foreground

balance

  

in these picture there are many geometric figures (triangles for the houses,rectangle for the flag..) that contribute to have a great balance

the rule of thirds

 

the subject of this picture is not in the center but in the right-inside

Simplicity

 

the background it's just the blue sky, giving my picture a feeeling of simplicity

leading lines

 

the vertical lines focus our attention on the falling man
