The basic concept of diffusion is to soften the light used on the subject. Using something to diffuse the light increases the relative area of the light. One example of diffusing light is putting some diffusion gel onto the barn doors on the light you're using to soften the light. Another example of diffusing light is using a diffusion box on the light to prevent spill light from coming out. The basic concept of bouncing light is using the thing that your bouncing light off of as your diffusion and you shine a light onto the thing that bounces the light and that thing shines a softened light onto you. The thing that bounces the should be larger than the light source so that the softer light is generated. An example of bouncing light is bouncing light from a foam board. Another example of bouncing light is to take a reflector fabric and placing onto a diffusion panel to bounce the light onto the person. Some ways I can diffuse light in my photos is I can get a spare foam board from a past project and use it to bounce some softer light from a lamp onto something that Im taking a picture of like a computer mouse of tv remote. I can also use some diffusion gel and shine a large bright light through it to soften the light to create a nice scene if Im trying to take a portrait of someone. I would also use the 3 point lighting system to help with taking that portrait. Mrs. Laird, I did what you said and just put the 3 point lighting thing on my video production blog since they are pretty much the same.
Henry Fox Talbot was a British photographer and inventor. He is known for creating the calotype process of photography, which improved on the daguerreotype made by Louis Daguerre. Henry Fox Talbot was also active in politics and he supported the Whig Ministers. He also had spent time in the field of Assyriology, which is the study of history, archaeology, and agriculture of Mesopotamia. Fox Talbot is also the author of English Etymologies. Henry Fox Talbot was a chemist who is considered the first to develop the photographic negative. Fox Talbot also wrote a book called the pencil of Nature and was the first book to have photographic illustrations. He is also know for publishing many articles on mathematics, astronomy, and physics. Louis Daguerre was a French artist and photographer who invented the daguerreotype process of photography. He is known as one of the fathers of photography and he was an accomplished painter and creator of diorama theatre. In January 1839, his daguerreotype process was reveled at a meeting of the Academy of Sciences by Francois Arago. He and his collaborator, the heir of Niepce, were given annuities of 6000 and 4000 francs for their photographic processes. He died on July 10 1851 and his name is one of the 72 that are inscribed on the Eiffel Tower. need 3 different facts about fox talbot, and who was loius degaure quick description one fact, photo examples of Talbot's work, site the pics First Picture - Talbot: Second Picture - Talbot : commons.wikimedia.org' Third Picture - Daguerre: www.catchersofthelight.com Louis Daguerre
1. How can I use photography to bring God glory? The way I can use photography to bring glory to God is I can use it in a way that shows His handiwork and shows what He has created in this world, including the world itself. For example, I can take pictures of beautiful things in nature that show God's loving design and amazing intricacy. I can photos of amazing animals or events that occur in nature that point to an intelligent creator. This can be a form of worship to Him because I am showing His work in photos that proclaim His glory and power. I can also use photography to bring God glory by taking pictures of people worshiping or praising God in a Church building. I can also bring God glory through photography by selling the pictures that I have taken of things and put the money towards donations to the Church or other places that try to carry out His work. First Picture: Second Picture: 2. How can I use photography to spread the Gospel? The way I can use photography to spread the Gospel is I can take pictures of Bibles or specific verses that sum up the Gospel message. I can take pictures of verses that simply say Jesus loves you and he died for you so you can have freedom. This is similar to bringing God glory in that I can take pictures of people carrying out God's will. This will show anyone who looks at the photo that these people seem to be doing it for a real purpose and this can maybe spark an interest in that person. They can maybe become a Christian if they are wise. My photo subject could have possibly been the spur in that person and that is a way to spread the Gospel through photography. I can also use photography to spread the Gospel by taking pictures of things that would show people that there is a God and that He loves the. These photos can be paintings that show Jesus with open arms or an artist's representation of the Kingdom of Heaven. First Picture: lifehopeandtruth.com Second Picture: www.pilgrimbaptistchurch.net 3. How can I use photography to bless others? The way I can use photography to bless others is I can help someone who needs to have their picture taken. I can just be a good friend or neighbor, which would be showing God's love through photography. An example would be if I took pictures at a party because maybe the mom or someone is busy running around making the party function. If the mom would want pictures, but would be unable to take them because of how busy she'd be, I can step up and bless her by helping her out and taking the pictures. Another way I can bless other by using photography is I can take pictures of people in poverty or people in the persecuted Church to raise awareness. This would bless them because people might hopefully take notice and keep them in their prayers and maybe help them in any way, shape or form. This can include giving money to the poor or an organization that would help the poor and constantly praying for the persecuted Church. Overall, I think a very practical way to bless people through photography is to just be helpful and take pictures for them if they need help or are unable to. First Picture: locusthoney.blogspot.com Second Picture: www.frontpagemag.com Third Picture: After of the Fixed Person What I did was I got a picture of a woman who had some blemishes and zits on her face. I took the picture into Photoshop and made her look much better in my opinion. I first took the healing tool and blotched out as many imperfections and zits and glaring red spots as I could to. I took away some of the browning around her nose and noticeable red lines in her nose. This also made her face look a bit less oily. I did this all with the healing tool and stamp tool to bring some spots of her skin over to make it a bit more symmetric and less blotchy. Then, I created a duplicate layer to just smooth over her nose a bit with the clone stamp tool. I took some skin from her cheek and smoothed over a few loose hairs with skin. I also took some of the coloring from her nose and evened it all out a bit to make it seem less like patches of color and pink skin. Then, I created another layer on the very top of the panel and used a gaussian blur to make her skin kind of glow. I took the eraser tool and erased the places of focus like her eyes, mouth, eyebrows, hair line, lines outlining her face, and under her nose. This was to make the layers underneath the gaussian blur layer show through to bring focus on them since the gaussian blur would blur the photo to get the glow. The end result was clearing up her face of zits and blemishes and giving her face a nice, subtle glow. After of the Celebrity With this picture, what I did was I got a picture of Matt Damon from the internet and brought it into photoshop. I then took the healing brush tool and just started to smear his eyes out and make them like flat sockets. I then took the clone stamp tool and copied some of his neck skin and smeared that over his eyes to make it seem like he had no natural eye socket. I then took the healing brush tool and tried to make him bold. This did not work, so I took the clone stamp tool and and took some more of the skin to paint over his hair to make his hair look creepy. I then took to the clone stamp tool and cloned his eyes and spammed then all over his facial profile. I put the eyes on his neck and forehead and many many eyes in his hair to make him look like a spider. I then took the clone stamp tool to clone his nose and mouth and spammed those too. I put that on his throat and gave him four mouths where on should be. Lastly, I took some of the blemishes and beauty marks from the original picture up above of the woman and put them on Damon. I gave him a few blurry zits and one big brown mark above his mouths. I then healed his hair a little more. Overall, what was left was a weird abomination that was the result of boredom and wanting to mess up Matt Damon's face. Not to give a unibrow, but to simply wreck his entire face with an almost stupid amount of eyes and mouths.
Top Photo: sites.cdnis.edu.hk Rule of Thirds: ^^^^^^^ These two pictures show the Rule of Thirds. Rule of Thirds is a rule used to help determine the optimum subject placement. In Rule of Thirds, you usually do not want to center the the subject in the photo. You want that subject to fall on one of the thirds. Top Photo: sites.cdnis.edu.hk Golden Mean/Section: ^^^^^^^^^^^^ These two photos are examples of Golden Mean (section). Golden Mean is a mathematical equation adapted to artists and photographers to lead someone's eye to a point of the most positive space on a photo. Positive space is the part of the photo that is filled with lines, shapes, or objects. Its opposite is Negative space, which is empty space around an object. In my photo (bottom), the cabinet leads my eye to the scissors holder cup in a curve shape, going from Negative space to the part that has the most Positive space. Top photo: www.bestfreewebresources.com Symmetry: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These two photos are examples of Symmetry. Symmetry is all around us in a natural or man-made form. Symmetry is also when an object or something in the photo is the same as something else. Things in the photo are in the same pattern. Symmetry can make attention-capturing photos and can make a bold statement such as power. Symmetry is also a way to make a sense of harmony and balance. Top photo: hannahfirstblog.blogspot.com Asymmetry: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These two pictures are examples of Asymmetry. Asymmetry is opposite of Symmetry. Things in asymmetry may be the same, but are imbalanced. Something maybe shorter or longer or there may be less of something or more of something are just a few examples. Using asymmetry can create power and beauty since there is beauty in imbalance. Top Photo: www.allanbesselink.com Counter Balance: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These two photos shows Counter Balance. Counter Balance is when something is placed into the photo to balance out the main subject, so the main subject doesn't make the photo seem to weighty on one side or leaning toward one end. This balancing object is usually something of lesser importance. Top Photo: www.fotodreamfactory.com384 × 600Search by image Breaking the Pattern: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These two photos show Breaking the Patter or the rules. Breaking the rules mean that you break the rule of composition or some other rule that photography conforms to. One can break the rules in photography when it will make the photo look the best, like putting a subject in the center, which can give a much nicer look. Another example would be putting a horizon line in the center of the photograph. It all depends on whether or not breaking the rule will make the picture look that much better or special. Top Photo: photographyblogger.net Framing: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These two pictures show Framing. Framing is putting a foreground around the subject to "frame" the subject. Putting the foreground can help bring the viewer's eye toward the subject because the subject is framed and is basically pointing toward the subject, so nothing distracts from the subject. Some questions to ask when putting a frame on a subject are would the subject be missed if the foreground was removed and will the frame make the overall picture enhanced. Layers is similar to framing in that there are layers of foreground that frame something in the background. An example would be with foothills being in front of a mountain range or on the sides. These would frame the background mountains giving a cool look. Top Photos: www.fotodreamfactory.com384 × 600Search by image
Working in Odds: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These two photos show working in odds. Working in odds is when there is an odd number of subjects that give the photo feeling or depth. People usually naturally look for this odd. Having an odd number of subjects can make the photo feel inviting or comforting. Shape: This photo is from the alphabet pictures gallery tab. I think this is an example of Shape. The photo gives off kind of a 2-dimensional feel which makes it an example of shape. It is also being front lit which gives it a quality of shape. This picture is also Shape because it kind of contrasts with its surrounding by the silver color contrasting with the brown-maroon color of the table, which draws the eye to actual shape of the coin more so than anything else. Another way this picture shows Shape is because of the fact that the shape, the coin, is a circle. This makes the photo feel complete in my opinion. Form: This is a picture from my alphabet pictures gallery tab. The picture is an example of Form. It shows Form by being side-lit a little with light coming in from the top right corner. This picture shows shape also because the orange, being the main focus of the picture, is in a kind of 3-dimentional angle giving it depth. The camera is tilted to the side, which is what gives the orange the 3-D feel. Texture: This photo is from the alphabet pictures gallery tab. This is an example of texture because of the up-close texture of the skin of the Bible case. It is also being side light from an angle because of the shadows being below the middle of the skin texture. This would indicate the light source is coming from the top left corner. Another reasons why this picture is an example of texture is because it amplifies deep emotion in me with the texture being of the skin in a case for a Bible. This triggers something in me that reminds me of God whenever I see the skin or outside hard-covering of a Bible. The skin texture is usually what is used for the hard-cover Bible covering. Pattern: This photo is from my alphabet pictures gallery tab. I think it fits as an example of Pattern. The pillows are the main focus of the photo. The pillows show a pattern with how they are designed. The diagonal lines of each pillow criss and cross in such a way that it brings the pillow together. The lines, whether they are going up or down, are all in rows and are all in patterns. When you look at the picture, you can get the impression of predictability through the fact that you can see that the pillows all have patterns on them and you can see where those patterns lead. This can make someone already aware of what is on the backside of the pillow since the pattern is so uniform. The patterns of the photo, to me, give it stability, consistency, and belonging. The pillows are also at an angle which is another part of pattern. Positive Space: This is a photo from the alphabet picture project in the alphabet tab of the gallery. It shows positive space by there being space to the sides of the elevator, but that space is being filled up with the lines of the elevator and the objects of the pictures on the side to the left. This makes the picture feel more friendly instead of it just being a void, blank, white wall. Negative Space:
This is a picture from the Hunt Project in the Hunt gallery tab. This shows negative space because of the empty space that is around the piece of lead on the table. Your eye is drawn to the lead only since there is nothing else in the picture and it is just void. austinb9.blogspot.com This photo shows thin lines that lead all the way up to the spider. The lines are the spider's web and they give the impression to me that the lines are a little bit unstable and weak. The lines also make me feel calm and peaceful. I feel this way just because it seems like not a lot is going on and all the lines just all point towards the spider. There are also lines with the spider's legs. His legs are straight and curved. When looking at the spider's legs, I just think relaxing and quiet thoughts. noticeverything.wordpress.com This Photo shows negative space as well as straight, diagonal, and thick lines. The straight lines are leading to the people. The thick white lines are diagonal and this gives the photo movement towards the people. It also shows pattern with the lines in a set patten. The thickness of the lines makes the picture seem more stable and bold. It makes it seem like the people are on a set path and they are safe following that path. www.photographyicon.com This photo shows a curved line with the river bending and curving. There are also jagged lines in the background with the mountains. The curved lines makes the picture feel relaxed like this river is set in a nice quiet valley. The curved lines lead your eye to the jagged lines of the mountains. The curved lines also make this picture feel more soft and gentle. The jagged lines of the mountains are sort of soft and hilly. There are still sharp lines in the mountain line. They upset the peacefulness of the photo by adding some danger and sharp intervention. digital-photography-school.com This photo shows lines that are mixed between horizontal and vertical. The horizontal lines are dominant. The lines immediately lead my eye toward the storm shutter. The difference of the color also draws my attention. The nice cool, calming effect of the yellow makes me feel secure. The green of the shutter makes the photo seem stern. The vertical lines give the sense of strength and power in the structure of the building. The horizontal lines make me feel calm and relaxed, like everything is safe. There are also straight lines that do the job of pretty obviously pointing toward the shutter. www.school-of-digital-photography.com
This photo shows lines that are mainly vertical. These lines seem to be leading me to the top of the photo towards the sky. The lines are thick and are a combination of many lines that give the photo the sense of stability. The straight, vertical lines give the impression of boldness and points towards the top. The combination of lines shows horizontal, vertical, and thick lines. These all combine to give a bold statement. Aperture: This is a photo of Aperture. Aperture is how much light gets into the camera when taking a photo. Aperture is measured in f-stop values. This is why the photos have f#. The range for f-stop values is from 1.4 to 22. The way aperture works is the larger the f-stop value, the larger the lens will open up in order to allow more or less light in. A wide aperture, which is a smaller number, will give a shallow depth of field and will isolate something in the photo as in the example with the pinecone - f1.8. If you give it a large f-stop value, you will get much, much more in focus rather than just one isolated object as is seen in the photo with an f-stop value of f22. A spiritual equivalent of aperture would be if you let in Jesus (light) into your life, your life will look like everything is in focus and things will be crystal clear. If you do not allow Jesus in to work in your life and you stay closed up, your life will only have one thing in focus , you, not God. First Picture on the Top : www.hootphotography.com Second Picture on the Bottom: milesandmems.blogspot.com Shutter Speed: These are photos of Shutter Speed. Shutter speed is for how long light is able to be let into the camera lens. You can control this and can create an either blurry photo or a stop motion photo. Shutter speed is measured in seconds or milliseconds. This time frame can range from 1/8000 of a second all the way up to 2 seconds and so on. Shutter speed basically works in that a faster shutter freezes the motion and a creates a moment frozen in time as it was in that fraction of a second and a slower shutter causes blur. A spiritual equivalent of shutter speed would be if you let Jesus in for a period of time or only act "religious" around people, your life will look blurry and unclear, but if you let him in for every second of your life, your life will seem much more clear and the answers will be revealed to you. Picture on the Left: www.idigitalphoto.com Picture on the Right: ISO:
This is a photo of ISO. ISO is essentially the sensitivity of the image or capturing device. ISO ranges in numbers from 100 to 3200. The way ISO works is when there is a bright light, you keep the ISO to a lower number. A low ISO is indicative of low sensitivity to light. Action shots also use a higher ISO just as low light conditions do as well. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the sensor will be to light. A spiritual equivalent of ISO would be if you are sensitive to the Word of God, you will see the answers more clearly than if you shut out the Word of God or don't dig into it.
