Thanksgiving Dinner

Baraka

I thought that the movie that we whatched in class was interesting and different. I saw parts of the world that I have never seen before. I have wondered what it looks like in other places around the world or even other places in the United States. I really enjoyed the sceneries in the movie. At first I did not like how there was no sound. I know that I can't pay attention if there is not any sound because I will become bored and then I will day dream. Once I got into the movie I realized that it was a good thing that there was no talking. I think that it would have taken away from what was going on. I liked how parts of the movie was in fast foward.  It kept it interesting. I loved all of the bright colors in some of the contries and having dull colors in other places help the picture as well. Almost all of the elements that we have studied in class were used.

-They introduced color photography and helped people see places around the world that they would never be able to go to

-A couple years after photography was invented people started to ask if photography was an art

-To make it more hands on photographers would scratch the picture when they were developing it to make it look more like a painting

Notes on Shooting a Portrait

Shoot a Formal Portrait

1)      Place the background for the photograph close to a wall. There should be about 10 to 20 feet of clear space in front of the background, plus some room to the sides. The background can be a roll of paper, s background cloth, or the wall itself. Put a stool in front of the background. Now ask you’re subject to sit on the stool.

2)      Place the light about 45 degrees to the right side of the subject. Have an assistant hold the reflector on the subject’s left side, about 3 to 4 feet from the subject. The assignment will have to adjust the angle and position to the reflector for the best effect.

3)      Set the camera directly in front of the subject, anywhere from 6 to 10 feet away, depending on what kind of lens you are using. The more telephoto the lens is, the further away you’ll have to be. Talk to the subject, guide him or her in how they should pose, and take the photograph.
