Abandoned Theme Parks

1) I would choose Gulliver's Kingdom, Japan because the history behind it is so spooky and interesting. I think that the fact that it was built right by Suicide Forest is such a rare thing that happens. To put a sad, scary environment by a child friendly, happy one is very unusual. Also it was built on grounds of a cult's headquarters that is well known in Japan. To me, this is just such a bizarre type of situation to put a theme park. I would really want to know how it felt to be there knowing what it was built on and the surroundings. 

5 unusual places to shoot

- Cemetery

- Abandoned Mental Hospital

- Abandoned School

- Old unused Prison

- Rundown hotel 

I am very interested in shooting at an old prison because I think it's so cool that there was people who called that place their home (not for good reasons of course). I always like going to places that once had life to it. I want to capture the life that isn't there anymore, history. I would expect to take pictures of cells and the places where the prisoners would eat, hang out, shower. I really like going to historic places. especially if they have a weird background to it. 

The equipment I would need is a camera that really makes every detail stand out and shows every color. It would take me some really good convincing to go, depending on the background of the place. I might have to ask to go on a tour, if they have that for the prison, and maybe get a license to shoot on government property. 

African Wildlife

-When I read the blog post, I felt inspired by what Nick was saying. I got more of an understanding of how long a it takes to capture something you have a vision for. I also learned that the deforestation issues and killing of the animals is a real, serious thing happening. 

3) This picture really stands out to me because the way that the animals stripes are so real. Also, I like how the picture is in black and white because it helps the colors of the zebras pop out. The background catches my eye too, because it looks like a storm is about to hit. 

4) Lines are shown in this picture in the zebras strips both going the same way. Simplicity is also shown by the zebras being the main focus. The majority of the picture is the zebras. It makes it stand out more that they are both looking the same way and their strips are almost exactly the same. 

5) Nick uses a Pentax 67 with a three setting lenses, a 55mm, 105mm, & 200mm and it is important because it makes the main subject more defined and 3D-like. 

6) The reason he takes these photos is to share the animals "state of being while they exist." 

7) Brandt's hopes are to bring awareness to help and protect wildlife. 

8) "Animals are unprotected, they don't have a voice, they don't have a way of protecting themselves."

When you shoot in manual, you have to remember to have good lighting and to be focused on the main subject of the photo. You also have to think about the ISO, aperture, & shutter speed, and how well exposed the picture is.

Warm-Up

1) As I looked through these images I felt love, pain, & suffering. I think that the husband captured all the emotions throughout the events. 

2) Looking at these photos, I can see what Angelo is trying to say. That what happened in the photographs doesn't make them, them but its what made them who they are. 

3) I personally probably could shoot pictures like these because I like to look back at photos and just remember the time that I was in. Looking at these photos I could guess the emotions coming off of them. It also is something that I would have left of a person. 

4) Dear Angelo,
     You are a very brave person for shooting moments like those. In the photos, I can truly see what you and your wife felt and were going through. You really captured each and every moment, through the time period. The photos themselves show loving and sad times. I don't think there was a better way to show what you and your wife were going through. 

Great Black & White Photographers III

1) I really like the way that he captures moments of people and the scenes that they are in. All his photos are in black & white, and to me, it makes a lot of small details stand out way more than a color photo. 

2) 

I see smoke in the air blowing with the wind. I see a face of pain behind the black hair net. I see a time in the past with the way she is dressed. I smell the cigarette that is lit. I smell a mix of perfumes and hairspray. I smell the outside air coming in from the small cracked window. I hear the camera taking pictures every 2 seconds. I hear the loud nosies in the background from the people in the room. I hear the music being played under all the talking and laughing. I taste the snacks provided at the shoot. I taste all the chemicals and fragrances being sprayed in the room. I taste the natural air around at moments of times. I feel the sassiness coming off the photo. I feel the brush on my skin, putting on the makeup. I feel the material being put on me as I get dressed. 

I see the emotion in the leopards face. I see the photographer making sure he gets the perfect timing for what he wants to shoot. I see how clam looking she looks next to the leopard. I smell the dirt that the animal has on its fur. I smell the channel perfume in the room. I smell the scents the fan is blowing. I hear the talking about the animal next to the model. I hear the people behind the scenes yawn as it turns the 12th hour at the shoot. I hear the talk about how great the photographer is for vogue. I taste everything little thing in the air. I taste the 4th coffee i've had today. I taste the brunt smell coming off the straightener. I feel the snake like texture on my body. I feel the animals fur on my right arm. I feel the lipstick and eyelashes being put on me. 

3) As a photographer, I wanna show people the emotions and to be able to feel like they are there with me , through a photo. I also want to shoot things that I think really are unique or put basic pictures in a way no one has seen them before.

Aperture, Shutter Speed, & ISO

Aperture

1) The pupil of the eye is what is referred to as aperture. 
2) The smaller the aperture the less light comes in, the higher the aperture the more light comes in.
3) Aperture affects the depth of field by having an impact of what gets focused on in the picture. The smaller the aperture that is used, the less focused it will be on the main object. The higher aperture, the more focused it will be. 

Shutter Speed

Auto: both shutter speed and aperture are automatically set by the camera.
Aperture Priority: you set the lens aperture & the camera sets the shutter speed
Shutter Priority: you set the shutter speed & the camera sets the lens aperture.
Manual: you both of the cameras lens aperture & shutter speed. 

ISO


1) Having the advantage of a higher ISO at a sporting event helps you stop fast motion at faster speeds.

2) The author suggested that when there is plenty of light to use the lowest ISO because it gives you the most detail & high image quality.

3) The author suggested the highest ISO when there is not enough light and to give the camera time to capture what is happening.
