William Klein Biography

William Klein was born in New York on April 19 , 1928 ,he was part of a Jewish family which at that time was hard for him because he felt like an outsider since New York was mainly Irish his classmates and people on the street would discriminate him for that.
He was a smart kid by the age of fourteen he was able to go to college and study sociology once he turned 18 Klein enrolled in the army and was station in Germany before completing his course.

I like this picture because it reminds me of my home :

On some evenings we play cardgames and my mom usually has a wine and my dad a coffee.

The Camera


Definitions :

Aperture - is a hole or an opening through which light is admitted.

.

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.

.

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

.

F-stop - expresses the diameter of the entrance pupil in terms of the focal length of the lens; in simpler terms, the f-number is the focal length divided by the "effective" aperture diameter.

Focal length - is a measure of how strongly it converges (focuses) or diverges (diffuses) light.

.

.

My words :

.

Focusing Screen- A camera in which the image appears on a ground-glass. The lenses being mechanically coupled for focusing.

.

Pentaprism- A prism that has five faces, a pair of which are at 90 degress to each other, a ray entering one of the pair emerges from the other at an angle of 90 degress to its original direction: used esp. in single-lens reflex cameras to reverse images laterally and reflect them to the viewfinder.

Pixel- The smallest element of an image that can be individually processed in a video display system.

.

Autofocus- Automatically having to focus the lens of an image.

Balance

.

.

This is a good example for balance in pictures because the Twin Towers and the Statue of Liberty are in balance on this picture.

Rule of Third
.
.
This is a good example for the Rule of Third because he plane is in the upper right point.
It is also good because the plane flies towards to the middle of the picture.

Avoiding Mergers
.
.
I think this is a good example for Avoiding Mergers because the the fireman has a different color than the backround.

Simplicity

.

.

The Towers are a different color than the backround and stand out.You can focus easily on them.

Framing

.

.

This is a nice example for Framing because the wrecked wall on the bottom and on the left frame the picture and you get a feeling of sadness.

Lines

.

.

The pole is a diagonal line in the picture and there are a lot more lines in the backround and they give the picture a dynamic feel.

This is the picture I like :

1. On this picture you can see a teenager who carries the earth.

2.The teenager is in focus and in the backround you can see what I think is a traktor.

3.He is actually just laying on a flat floor but becouse of the little hole in the camera the floor looks round. And the picture is turned around so it looks like he is carrying the earth.

This is the picture I dont like :

1. The person that reaches for the window on the bottom of the picture is blur because you can see the brick wall through him.

2. The windows in the middle of the picture are in focus and the top of the building is out of focus.

3. The middle of the wall (which is in focus ) is pretty big and to the top of the building it gets smaller.

I dont like this picture because it is too dark .

I like this picture because you can see her think about the question.
