Exploring the Environment with Shapes

This is my oval picture. It was a trash can collecting water that was leaking due to the rain fall of the week.

This is my square picture. It is a window in the door that leads to the stairs. I cropped to where the corner of the boarder is the only thing showing because it tells the viewer the shape in a creative way.

I used a lock for my circle picture because they are on every door and there is a lot of detail that was captured in this picture with the wear and tear of the lock.

I couldn't decide which picture I liked better for my triangle picture so I am just uploading both. The stained class itself is mostly triangles, however I thought it was cool that the yellow stained glass all together formed a triangle.

I used this photo for my rectangle photo because if you look closely there are four rectangles in the picture and they are all within each other. The sidewalk in a rectangle, the concrete thing itself is a rectangle, the opening of it is a rectangle, and then inside that there is a metal plate in the shape as well.

This photo could be used for the oval picture because of the curvature of the petals. It could also be used for a circle photo with the circular nature of the flower head. I just thought it was beautiful.

Juxtaposition photo

This is my juxtaposition photo. I chose this because the cup and straw someone decided to litter with is right next to a tiny flower.

Photo Journalism

Question: Are the paparazzi professional journalist? Why or why not?

I do think they are journalists, however I do not think they are professional. Most of what the paparazzi comes up with is false or rumored, and the purpose is to get a rise out of people or keep them interested in their gossip triangles. I believe they have great photography skill, just not professionalism.

False light is when a persons privacy is breached by a photo or work, which is published without the knowledge of whether it is true or false. An example would be if someone were to take a picture of a celebrity looking like they were smoking, they would distort the photo by showing cigarette butts on the ground next to them.

Graphic photo journalism is using images that are distracting from texts to get a reader's attention to tell the story. An example would be someone using a picture of a battered rape victim to talk about rape, or give news about rape.

Journalistic standards are basically just standards that have to be kept in mind when doing it. Examples include privacy, respect for human rights, and accepting responsibility for your stories.

Everything is Better in Spirals (iMotion Movie)

5 compositions/ fibanocci spiral

For this picture I used the framing composition. The bottom of the pillars creates a frame around the picture.

This picture uses the point of view composition. Instead of a straight on point of view, I used an areal point of view.

This one could either be considered symmetry and patterns because each bottle has the same pattern, and are all in line, but the one in front changes the symmetry of the bottles.

This is a crop photo. At first it was just a bowl of these white things, however, I cropped it to zoom on the top few that could be focused on.

This photo uses rule of thirds. The cart covering a pipe is in the bottom left corner of the photo grid.

This is the photo  that I originally chose for my fibanocci spiral. However, I couldn't download the program to put the spiral on the photo itself. The spiral would start at the tree, go down to the bench, then to the white pole, and back around.
