Shutter Speed



Shutter speed is the light that comes into the picture. By having the shutter opened, we control the shutter speed and control houw much light comes in. Our shutter speed was 15 seconds and the ISO 200. On the second picture we each had an item that lights up bright like an cellphone or ipod. During those seconds we had to move quick to get it correct. My favorite is the first one because it looks awesome and we actally didn't move during those 15 seconds.


Aperture






Aperture is how much light you can get into the picture. It's the local length divided diameter of light. You can see easily the amount of light it captures. The second photograph has a small amount of aperature. The reason is because the hole is not big enough to capture the light. For the first light there's a much bigger hole and the light comes in.

Flash

Some Pros about flash are that it adds light, freezes time, and eliminates blur. Cons are its disturbs subject, ughly lighting situationa and red eyes. Flash would be good to use when there is light, and you would not use flash when its too bright. The photo that I choose does not use flash. Colors are more clear and it does not look fake.

Metering





Light meters measure the amount of light there is in the picture. In the picture where you can only see the computer, I half pressed the button and took it. In the photo I'm focusing on the computer to bring in light so my partner can show up. Spot metering can help me in the future by focusing on anything that I want to show in pictures.




Surrealism




In this dream I see that your in the picture twice, one your sitting on a banana and on the other your on the apple also sitting. Not only your sitting your reading a book. Its just not a simple book, I feel like you have a special connection with this book. Do you read it everyday? If you do that means you have this past that you don't want to let go of, which is your childhood. I'm not saying it's not good to read but you need to move foward from that book. I recommend for you to take a long vacation and explore other books. That book you have, you need to give it to someone that means a lot to you or just simply donate it.
