Mural Project Preview

1. A theme I would like to use is about sports. Because Akins football record hasn't been the best for the past couple of years, but now they're coming up and winning!

2. Because you have to be willing to be patient for those good photos to get captured! In football it's just a fast paced thing so you're not going to get some east shots.

3. In my opinion, there are no advantages in using a phone camera to capture a great picture. But some disadvantages are that phone cameras aren't as clear as cameras such as Cannon ones.

4. Overall a SLR camera is just so much better then a phone camera. It can focus better, capture pictures faster and makes them more clear.

5. We should use SLR cameras for this project because overall they will be better for shooting.

Academic Shoot Reflection

1. Some problems were that it would be hard to find like balanced out pictures. Or pictures for Rule of Thirds.

2. I thought about focusing the camera most of the time because it was like my 4th time using a camera like that and I usually use it on auto-focus.

3. In most of my photos that I took, I thought it was one rule, but noticed at least one other rule while looking at them.

4.  I would keep on practicing my manual focusing.

5. The easiest rule to achieve would be Simplicity.

6. The hardest to capture would have to be Rule of Thirds.

7. I'm still not so sure about Rule of Thirds. I can go to that website or ask Mr. Doerr.

Balance


1. I think I sort of followed the rule of Balance.
2. The subject is the person and the book. Because if you split it in half, it's symmetrical.
3. Yes, it's pretty clear.

2. The subject is the 3 people smiling at the camera.
3. It's not so clear because there are other people in the back ground.

Academics Photo Review

I think this photo tells the best story because people are gathered in a circle and it could be a memorial for someone that has passed or a special event.

I think this photo shows the best action or emotion because the girls reaction to the chemical shooting up frightened or surprised them.

I think this photo fills the picture and shows a lot of interesting things. All of the kids hands are in the
nitrogen.


1. I picked this photo because I like black and white. And it's so simple but it also looks cool.
2 Balance, and simplicity.

1.  I think I could take pictures like the ones I looked at today in a biology or chemistry class.
2.  I would like to visit the dance team, and also people playing music.
3. As a photographer, I would use my body to get position to make the picture look exquisite.
