Defining Aperture

Aperture is one of the defining moments between snapshot and photograph, and an important camera feature for any photographer. Aperture helps refine images and make them sharper, and shallow your depth of field, making it naturally easier to focus on your subjects on the foreground.

When: late 2011

Good, Bad, or Ugly?; Alright, the concept is interesting and the colors work fairly well together, although I don't find any of the pictures as interesting as the first, and concept wise they dont seem to hold much interest.

When: 2013

Good, bad, or Ugly? I like the vibrant colors and and the 3D effect (even if it is a bit of a strain on the eyes), with the background colors that really make the subjects stand out, it is, however, on the verge of being over the top, but the overall simpler designs of the clothes tone that done a bit.

Who: Yulia Gorodinksi

What: A swimsuit model holding with a vinyl record obscuring their face.

Where: According to their flickr, Israel 

When: August 30, 2009

Good, Bad, Or Ugly; Very good, I love the vintage feel of it, from the photography effects themselves, to the swimsuit itself and maybe even the posing. It's so simple, but the vinyl adds a new mysterious artistic twist and sets off a new sort of mood for the picture. 

Ben Conant Write-up

Ben Conant visited our class last friday to talk about journalism and newspaper editing. It was very interesting to get an inside look on these things, and learn more about getting into the newspaper business. He talked about photographing, editing, how to make stories seem more interesting, and managing time, all of which is important aspects of running a newspaper. I liked learning about writing best.

Defining Shutter Speed

The slower the shutter speed, the more blurred the motion will be, whereas the faster the shutter speed, the stiller the motion is. However, the faster the shutter speed, the less light is being let in to the picture, which can be helped with ISO or aperture.

Who: Jeremy Mayhew

What: An arrangement of seafood with rustic accents and complimenting dishes, for Hancock Gourmet Lobster

Where: Earl Studios, Amherst NH

When: January 2014

Good, Bad, or Ugly?; Good, the composition is really lovely, the contrasting colors between the lobster and everything else easily draws attention to the food, the atmosphere of the picture as a whole is interesting but doesn't draw attention away from the food too much.
