Week 3 - Wednesday

     In class we have been talking about different things we look for in a picture and the settings on cameras. We have talked about the rule of thirds and how it should be divided into a 3x3 grid. Also we've talked about geometric shapes like triangle, square, and circles. The main settings we talked about on the camera are the aperture (A), Shutter speed (S), And Auto (Auto) usualy spelled in green. In the aperture setting you get to decide the aperture and the camera decides the shutter speed, in the shutter speed setting you decide the shutter speed and the camera decides the aperture, auto is where the camera decides everything.      We also talked about the trifecta in photography. The trifecta is ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. ISO is the cameras sensitvity to light, aperture is the size of the opening of the lens when a picture is taken, and shutter speed is how fast the shutter opens and closes.
     Juxtaposition to me means two things that complement each other. In photography this can be applied many ways like a certain color that looks good next to another color.
     When I first see a photo I look at the blen of colors and aperture, then look at the lighting. I really like animal photos I don't know why I just love the animals I guess. Below are some photos I found online that I like.
I like this picture because I like eagles, like the lighting, and also like how clear it is.
I really like how all the colors blend in this picture and I also like the texture.
I like how the water reflects the clouds and mountains. I also like how the clouds are nearly black with a little red and blue. I think the lighting in this photo is perfect.
