Self portrait


Tip #1: Bring Something to Focus On

The problem that I saw when I looked through my viewfinder was that I didn't have anything to focus on aside from the items in the far distance. This of course would make for a perfectly blurry photo of me, which isn't at all what I wanted.
One easy solution to this problem is to bring something to stand in your place. Height doesn't matter so much as distance, but try to match it to yourself as best as you can for accuracy. If you have an extra tripod or light stand, these make perfect substitutes that will stand upright exactly where you need them. I was out in my yard so I grabbed a shovel from my shed, stuck it in the ground, focused and then moved the shovel. Rudimentary, but it worked perfectly.

Tip #2: Get Closer  

The most common mistake made by photographers is that they are not physically close enough to their subjects. In some cases this means that the center of interest—the subject—is just a speck, too small to have any impact. Even when it is big enough to be decipherable, it usually carries little meaning. Viewers can sense when a subject is small because it was supposed to be and when it's small because the photographer was too shy to get close.
Don't be shy. If you approach people in the right way, they'll usually be happy to have their picture made. It's up to you to break the ice and get them to cooperate. Joke around with them. Tell them why you want to make the picture. Practice with people you know so that you are comfortable; people can sense when you aren't.

Tip #3: Capture You

My last tip is to use the images below only loosely as inspiration. A self-portrait should be a very personal expression, not simply a mirror of something you've seen elsewhere. Think about who you want to be and how you want to say that. Use props, scenery, pose and lighting conditions to convey your personality. And most of all, have fun!

I picked these two photos  for casual portraits because they both have no story to tell. Its a really simple photo to look at. 

I picked these two photos for formal portrait because: the man is in the army and he is dressed in a really formal attire and he looks like a fancy person, and i picked the girl in the wedding dress because she is a really pretty person and she is also dressed fancy.








I picked these two photos for environmental portraits because they both have a story to tell and the two girls look like they belong there 


















I picked these two photos for photographery self because they bothe repersent one person plain back grounds nothing else to say




































.

My plan is to take a posed photo of myself and i wan it to be outside in the nature like in front  of a tree or something like that .. And i will really constrate on the way i take the photo and what ISO i use and stuff like that....

F2.8 Vs. F16














1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture: Are pupil because that is the part of the body that i guess focuses or you see out of.
2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture OPENING, the higher the Aperture NUMBER.
3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field? The size of the aperture has a big affect of the depth of field.

Acdemics shoot reflection

Framing:
 1.) Well this picture follows the rule framing because the flags are framed by the bars in the windows.
2.) The subject is the two american flags.
3.) I think people can tell what the subject because the flags are the only multi-colored things.
4.) Well i could have zoomed in more so you could only see the framing.




Line:
1.) Well i think i followed the rule really well because the formation of the dancers makes lines and whats really cool is that in the mirror you can see the reflection of the lines.
2.) The subjects are the dancers because they make up the photo.
3.) I think its clear to people that the subject are the dancers because there really is nothing else to look at.
4.) I think i could have followed the rule better by getting the whole lines straight.



Simplicity:
1.) Well think i followed the rule really well because there is no other subject its as simple as it gets.
2.) The subject is the girl.
3.) I think its clear to people what the subject is because she is the only possible subject.
4.)I think i could have followed the rule a little better by trying to get a brown background.
                       







rule of thirds:
1.) Well i think the rule is followed because the eagle is not in the middle of the picture.
2.) The subject is the eagle..
3.) I think its kinda hard to tell what the subject is but kinda easy.
4.) i could have gotten the rule better by moving the eagle a little to the right.
Balance:
1.)I think i followed the rule because the picture is balanced out by the about of people at the desk.
2.) the subject is the people at the table.
3.)its pretty easy to tell what the subject is.
4.) i could have gotten a way better picture

Elements of art and principles of design

Elements of art
Line:  Lines are marks made by a pointed tool: brush, pencil, pen, etc. Lines can vary in width, direction, curvature, length, or color.
I picked this photo for lines because there are really clear lines in the paintings in this photo and the way they are colored makes them really pop out.
I picked this painting for lines because there are really black bold lines that are outlining the bull.

Shape:Shapes are formed wherever the ends of a continuous line meet. Geometric shapes such as circles, triangles or squares have perfect, uniform measurements and don't often appear in nature. Organic shapes are associated with things from the natural world, like plants and animals.
I picked this painting for shape because there are a lot of rectangles and circles in his image.
I picked this picture for shape because its a cube with different painting of shapes on the sides.

Color :Color wheels show the primary colors, secondary colors, and the tertiary (intermediate) colors. They also show the relationships between complementary colors across from each other, such as blue and orange; and analogous (similar or related) colors next to each other such as yellow, green, and blue. Black and white may be thought of as colors but, in fact, they are not. White light is the presence of all color; black is the absence of reflected light and therefore the absence of color.
I picked this picture for color because they are color pencils on a colored paper.
I picked this painting for color because there are a lot of different color uses.



Value (Tone): Value, or tone, refers to dark and light; the value scale refers to black and white with all gradations of gray in between.  Value contrasts help us to see and understand a two-dimensional work of art. 
I picked this picture for value(tone) because it shows a lot os shading.
I picked this painting for value(tone) because there is a lot of shading. And in one tree there is color and the other tree looks like the back of an old mans head.


Form :Form describes objects that are three-dimensional, having length, width, and height.
I picked this picture for form because its a lot of forming. with the same snape over and over 



Texture:Texture can be rough, bumpy, slick, scratchy, smooth, silky, soft, prickly--the list is endless.  Texture refers to the surface quality, both simulated and actual, of artwork.

Space:Space refers to distances or areas around, between, or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or  negative (black or dark), open or closed,shallow or deep, and two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

Principles of design 

Balance:Balance is the comfortable or pleasing arrangement of things in art.  There are three different types of balance: symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. The human figure is symmetrically balanced; the same on the left and right side. The tree is asymmetrically balanced; its branches are not distributed equally on each side, but their total weight is balanced left and right. The sun is an example of radial balance; all its rays are equal in length from the center.

Contrast:Contrast is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas. It is used to make a painting look interesting

Emphasis:Contrast is created by using elements that conflict with one another. Often, contrast is created using complementary colors or extremely light and dark values. Contrast creates interest in a piece and often draws the eye to certain areas. It is used to make a painting look interesting

Movement:Movement in an artwork means the artist is taking viewers on a trip through the work by means of lines, edges, shapes, and colors often leading to the focal area.  Movement is a visual flow through the composition. It can be the suggestion of motion in a design as you move from object to object by way of placement and position.  Directional movement can be created with a value pattern. It is with the placement of dark and light areas that you can move your attention through the format.

Pattern:Patterns are made in art when the same shapes or elements are repeated again and again.  Pattern uses the elements of art in planned or random repetitions to enhance surfaces of paintings or sculptures.

Rhythm:Rhythm is the repetition of shapes, lines, and forms.  Rhythm is a movement in which some elements recurs regularly.  Like a dance, it will have a flow of objects that will seem to be like the beat of music

Unity: Unity means that all elements in an artwork are in harmony.  Unity brings together a composition with similar units.  For example, if your composition was using wavy lines and organic shapes you would stay with those types of lines and not put in even one geometric shape.
