Events that impressed me:

1. George Eastman commiting suicide
2. Polaroid going bankrupt
3. Kodak ceasing production of film cameras.

5 things I’ve learned from photo-class:

1. How to use a camera
2. How photography can be a good field of work
3. different art styles
4. How to edit in photoshop
5. How to edit in Lightroom

Automatic Mode:

In automatic mode the camera chooses the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, focus, and flash. This mode is good for taking some quick pictures but keep in mind the photos might not come out exactly how you want them to.

Portrait Mode:

In portrait mode the camera will automatically choose a large aperture which will keep the background out  of focus. This is good to use when your trying to get a single subject.

Macro Mode:

Macro mode is used when your trying to take a close up photo of your subject. this is great when your trying to take a photo of a flower or small animal.

Landscape Mode:

In this mode the camera has a smaller aperture to better capture the background and does almost the exact opposite of portrait mode.

Sports Mode:

This camera mode is ideal for taking pictures of moving objects. The shutter speed is increased witch helps freeze movement into a clear picture.

Night Mode:

Night mode is made for shooting in low light situations which gives your camera a slower shutter speed. If you want to take a nice clear image you need to use a tripod, although a little blur can give it a fun look.

Aperture Priority:

In this mode you are free to choose the aperture and the camera automatically gets the rest of the information you need. This setting is most useful when your trying to get a good depth of field shot.

Shutter Priority:

This mode is very similar to aperture priority only in this mode you control the shutter speed and the camera figures everything else out. If you wanna take a quick picture of a moving subject this mode is perfect.

Program Mode:

This mode is almost if not is exactly like Auto mode. In cameras that have both modes, Program mode give you a bit more control in areas like flash, white balance, ISO, and many more.

Manual Mode:

This mode give you full control over the entire camera and all the settings on it. It give you the freedom to set up each shot as you wish. One must keep in mind that you need to have an idea of what your doing in this mode.

 

Cindy Sherman has a very abstract art style. She’s able to tell a story that can be viewed in many different ways. In this photo from what I see she’s mocking the practices of cosmetic surgeries. She’s overly enlarged areas of her face to the point where it looks very fake and unnatural. Cindy Sherman is an amazing photographer that is amazing in her field.

 

Conceptual Definition: The word conceptual means an abstract idea of mental concepts. It really means a theoretical or imaginary depiction that help view new insights.

For my conceptual photo I set down some CDs from my collection and placed my CD player in middle. Music is a big part of who I am. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t listen to music. In a conversation I’ll always ask what your favorite song is. Music is very therapeutic for me and helps me focus with a more blank mind on tasks. Music is something I’ll always use in my everyday life and i hope this picture shows that.
