What the pros are doing - Repetition

Up, Up and Away

A balloonist makes the final checks on his balloon as he prepares for a 100-balloon mass take-off at dawn at the International Balloon Fiesta in Bristol, England.

This picture is a good example for repetition because the colored bubbles lead to the middle of the picture where the balloonist stands.

Flashing Lights

Xenon lights shine over Launch Pad 39A before NASA canceled the first launch attempt for Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-128 due to weather, at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA has also cancelled the second launch attempt, scheduled for August 26, because of

a faulty liquid hydrogen fill and drain valve.

I think this is a very nice example for repetition because the light leads the eye right to the middle of the picture.The reflection of the light in the water also looks very good .

Doe-Eyed

Lisa Simpson appears on television screens on a new Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 after its inaugural passenger flight from Singapore to Sydney, Australia.

The repetition is in this picture very obvious , the face of Lisa Simpson repeats itself in almost every screen on the seets and this leads the eye all the way to the front of the plane.

What the pros are doing - Sports

1.) Focal length of lens -Shot at 1/640 f/2.8

2.) Shutter Speed -The shutter speed of this photo would be how the potographer got this shot.

3.) What is the effect of shooting at this shutter speed?The effect would be as to how he is jumping over the other players.

4.) Aperture-Canon EOS-1D, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM zoom

5.) What is the effect (Depth of field) of shooting at this aperture?How the photographer got this image so well and how he/she got this image before the player got the touchdown.

6.) Position-IS USM zoom

"The Story"

I think this photo is a fantastic example for a picture that tells story.You can see two hands in this picture , one belongs to an older person and one to a younger. You can see both hands on a game board so the two persons these hands belong to are appearently playing some kind of board game. The story in yhis picture is that a younger person takes care of an .older. Both generations are having fun together.

.

"Action and Emotion"

This is a good picture that represents "Action and Emotion" , because you can see a man welding a piece of metal and hot glowing sparks are flying away from him. The man is propably very conzentrated because he is doing a dangerous job.

"Filling the frame"

This is a good example for filling in because the photo is very colorful und the whole picture is filled out mainly with the girl in green but there is a girl in the background , too.There are also the thing the girl is working on and a bucket and a few brushes

I find this picture very interesting because there are so many different colors especially on the gitarists west and his gitarre. I find the blury man walking by interesting , too because this makes the picture look as if the man is standing there already for a long time , which is propably the point of the picture because the title of the song that this picture represents is "This is where I am , all the time."

This is the video I like because I loved the book when I was a child I am really curious how the movie is going to be because the book is not very long and I wonder how they put that in a one and a half hour movie !

Great Black and White Photographers part 3

The first picture I saw from William was this one on the right.

I think it is a very interesting picture , because the boy holding the gun looks so bitter and serious about his weapon even though it is just a toy gun. I think all pictures of William Klein tell you a story and I like trying to figure them out.

I see... me and my butler get in my expencive car.

I smell... exhaust gases from my car and the expenive leather on my seats.

I hear... people honking and chlidren children screaming hystericly in one of their games.

I taste... the finelly wine I just had in one of the most popular restaurants in town.

I feel... the satisfaction of being rich having a own car to a time just very few people have one.

I see... a weird photographer coming up to the place I hang out every day and taking a picture of me.

I smell... the delicous smell of the burger place one house away and the exhaust gases of the hundreds of cars driving by every day.

I hear... the cars honking and people telling me to get out of their way but my stomach begging for some food is by far the loudest noise.

I taste...

I feel...

Daniel Reese, Westlake High School

I chose this picture because I like the fact that the photographer put himself in danger to take this picture.If you look at it you almost think it is you sitting on the edge of this canyon and those are youre legs hanging down there , I think this makes the picture very powerful. The view is also great and the legs function a little bit like leading lines towards the middle.

1. Rule of Third ( the house )

2. Balancing Elements

3. Leading Lines

4. Symmetry and Patterns

5. Viewpoint

6. Background

7. Create Depth

8. Framing

9. Cropping

10. Mergers and Avoiding them

Hurricane Ike (Picture 3)

I think this is a very interesting picture because you can see 3 of the 6 rules on it
1. It is a good example for avoiding mergers because the street sweeper in the front has a different color than the building in the backround.
2. It is a good example for lines because of the lines on the building that seem to escape from the middle to the left and the right.
3. It is also an example for the rule of third because the man ist standing in the bottom right corner and seems to be walking towards the middle.

Hurricane Ike (Picture 2)

I think this is a fantastic example for the rule simplicity because there is one man walking down the street and there are no other people and not even cars.

The suit the man is wearing and the grey fog give the picture something mysterious.

Hurricane Ike (Picture 1)

This is a great example for lines because the pole they are walking on is diagonal which also gives the picture a dynamic touch.

It is a picture that is taken to the right time because 3 people are walking over the pole so this picture has action.
