Blowout & Panning



I created the blowout affect by making the ISO 1300.I think it was the best way to create a blowout picture because it makes the picture very bright. Another way to create a blowout affect is by brightening the picture.
panning is when anything that is moving becomes blurry expect for the object that is standing still. I think i did a good job. I had my camera setting on the 2 second timer. what makes panning difficult for this picture was trying not to cover my stand still object with a running person and to makes it look even and neat.

Shutter Speed




Shutter speed is how long the light gets to come into the picture. The longer its open the more the light comes in. We used our cell phones as the light. And also a little lamp to turn off and on. The camera was set to 15 sec. shutter speed. And the ISO was at 200, This was really fun to do. I would choose changing shutter speed over ISO or Aperture because it lets the light come in, and show. My favorite picture is the 2nd one because it came out clearer, and it looks crazay!

Aperture




Aperture is your control of how much light comes in the picture like the pupil of your eyes you can make it small amount of light or a large amount. For the first picture the aperture would b e large and for the second picture it would be a small amount of aperture because theres not a big hole of light.

ISO


(auto flash)

(5000)

(800)

(400)

(50)
ISO is the measure of a photographic film's sensitivity to light, you use it when you want to capture light without useing the flash it shows the light more. When i used the flash it made the x-mas lights not really show when i used the ISO the lights were the main effect so you can capture them more. I would choose to use ISO when its dark, and i want to caoture lights around a house or the city. You have to be careful when using ISO though because you could make the picture to dark, and the light be the only thing that would show.

Flash




Pros- if your in the dark and your background is bright it will help show yourself by using flash
Cons- red eye, reflections of flash

flash is a good idea if your outside and its really bright in your in the shade
flash is not a good idea when there are a bunch of mirrors or windows around

Its better not to use the flash here in this picture because if you were to use the flash it would be all dark and you wouldnt be able to see anything without using it, you can see all the lights and the beauty in the lights all over.

Metering



To me metering picks up the color that is in the little box and makes it the main point of color like the blue screen shows because it metered the blue, and the skin color showed because it metered the skin color

Surrealism: "carrot ghost"



Interpret:
In this dream the water going around myself is showing drowning which means to be overstressed with thing in life at the moment. Also me being a ghost in the dream after dyeing from drowning supposedly means aspects of myself that I fear, like a painful memory or guilt. Also most of my dreams take place in a night time setting which they say means ignorance, evil or the despair of the dark night of the soul.
