Pinhole finale

1). One of these pictures is negative which means the light stuff are dark and the other picture is a positive which means that dark things are dark and light things are light. One picture shows things to one side then on the other picture its shows the  things in the opposite way.

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

Composision 9/11

Simplicity

This picture has a woman with the united states flag and other people. I picked this picture because it is very close up and you can see the expression on the people's faces and you can focus better on it.

Rule of Thirds
This is a good picture because the man is carrying a little boy. You can see them clearly because of the backround they have, they are also in the very corner of the photo.

Lines
This picture has many people in a line walking forward. Since its a curved line it forms what you call and S curve.

Balance
I chose this picture because the man that is falling looks very balanced while he falls from a building. He is falling in a straight position.

Framing

This picture shows a statue that is in the middle of this picture and thats what they are concentraiting on that is what framing means.

Avoiding Mergers

I picked this picture for this rule because there is a lot of people bunched up walking in this shoot, and there are people cut off that you can't see all of them. When taking a picture avoid this which is a merger.

The Camera

Aperture-Is a hole or an opening through which light travels.

Shutter- is what controls the length of time that the light hits the recording surface.

Exposure- the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium during the process of taking a photograph

Depth of field- is the portion of a scene that appears acceptably sharp in the image

F-stop-of an optical system expresses the diameter of the entrance pupil in terms of the focal length of the lens

Focal length-is a measure of how strongly the system focuses or defocuses light.

Pinhole camera

The reason i like this picture is because it had a lot of sea colors. Also the way that this picture was taken the shells are right in front of the camera and the sea is in the background. I like the way this picture was taken from the ground and you can see the sky. 

I really don't like this picture because it does not have many things to look at. To me this picture is to plain and i don't like looking at boring pictures.
