ISO; 100 Aperture; 6.3 Shutter Speed; 1/250




ISO; 400 Aperture10 Shutter Speed; 1/100








ISO; 800 Aperture; 10 Shutter Speed; 1/100





ISO; 1600 Aperture; 14 Shutter Speed; 1/1600




ISO; 3200 Aperture; 29 Shutter Speed; 1/400 









My best photo was with ISO 3200. 
Yes.
I learned that when you take photos around sunlight it makes it harder because the sun can go away or come back anytime and your photos won't come out the same.

Best photos of 2013





I really liked this picture because me personally love pictures that have to do with nature and I think it is a very sharp image. One of the rules that I see this picture has is creating depth.









This picture shows how the kid in the hospital got surprised by people that wash windows dressed up as super heroes as part of the celebration if children day in Brazil. Some rules i see in this picture is leading lines and patterns and symmetry.







This is a very tragic picture showing blood all over the floor with someone sandals left there stained with some of the blood. Some rules I see in this image is balancing because the two sandals balance each other out. Another rule I see is background because it has a plain background. One more rule i see is symmetry and patters because the ground in this picture are all rectangles.

I feel the wind/water 








I see a girl 
I feel lonley
I smell fresh air 
I taste nothing 
I hear my thoughts 





Aperture , ISO , Shutter Speed

Aperture 
1. The eyes are the part of the body that we should closely relate aperture.
2. The smaller the Aperture the larger the f-number, the higher the Aperture the smaller the f-number.
3. Aperture impacts the Depth of Field by the smaller the aperture brings the background into focus and the larger the aperture blurs out the background


Shutter Speed:
1. a.) For the dunking booth i would use fast shutter speed because there's fast moving balls and when the person drops it'll all happen rather fast
b.) For the food eating contest I would use medium shutter speed because the people eating the food are in a contest and will more than likely be moving fast feeding themselves.
c.) For the rock climbing wall i would use fast shutter speed because people are climbing the wall and more than likely will be moving rather fast so the fast shutter speed would be the best option.
d.) For someone working at a booth i would use slow shutter speed since the people don't have fast moving action going on so slow shutter speed would be more idealistic.
e.) For the DJ/MC working in the middle of the circle i would use slow shutter speed since they're standing there choosing music, it would be easier and more reasonable to use the slow shutter speed.
f.) For the Diamonds performance i would use fast shutter speed because the the girls will be moving fast and dancing with quick motion so the fast shutter speed is whats best.

a.) At the dunking booth in a dark setting i would use slow shutter speed since it will help capture the motion happening as a person falls or a ball is thrown.
b.) At a food eating contest i would use a medium shutter speed since the setting is dark and the people might not be moving fast enough for a slow or fast shutter speed so medium would be a good balance and capture a well enough picture in the dark.
c.) At the rock climbing wall i would use a medium shutter speed since the people would be moving slower because its dark, so the medium shutter speed would be more ideal for a darker slower moving environment.
d.) For someone working at a booth i would use slow shutter speed since the person really isn't making a fast moving motion so the use of fast shutter speed isn't needed.
e.) For the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle i would use fast shutter speed, because it dark so the lighting is slightly changed and the visibility is limited so using the fast shutter speed will make it easier to capture or freeze the DJ.
f.) At the Diamonds performance i would use slow shutter speed, because when its dark out the slower speed will help freeze the motion better and the girls will be moving and dancing rather fast.

2.) One way to set shutter speed is to have the camera set in auto mode, because the camera will automatically set the the shutter speed. Another way is to set the camera to shutter priority, because with that you set the shutter speed and the camera will automatically set the aperture.


ISO:
1. The advantages to shooting with a higher ISO at night are the it will allow more light to come into the photo since you'll need more light because its dark.
2. The author suggested to use low ISO when there is plenty of light or when it may be dim and you use a tripod.
3. The author suggested to use high ISO when there is not enough light for the picture, so like shooting inside with no flash or super fast scenes.


F4 - looks best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed. At F4 the background is very blurry.
F5.5 - looks best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed. At F5.5 the background is still blurry but not as bad as the other aperture.
F8 - looks best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed. At F8 the background is blurry.
F11 - looks best at 1/60th of a second shutter speed. At F11 the background is still blurry but not too blurry.
F16 - looks best at 1/30th of a second shutter speed. At F16 the background is coming into better focus than the other apertures.
F22 - looks best at 1/15th of a second shutter speed. At F22 the background is in focus and looks well.At slower shutter speed, the subject is way more blurry than faster shutter speed. The photographer could use a tripod to help combat the problem.
The slowest shutter speed a photographer could use while holding the camera before needing a tripod is at 1/60th of a second.
On the shutter speed test I made a 92%. And on the depth of field test I made a 50%. Yes i understand aperture, shutter speed, and ISO better now.
