The dead tree,5 websites

2.What i saw on the website was a variety of pictures of a dead tree in different types of seasons.The photographer was fascinated by this tree so every time a season changed he took a picture of the tree.In every picture,he takes them from different places.

3.I learned that you can take different pictures of one simple object from different angles and still make it look beautiful and unique.

4.(Picture doesn't save) But what the picture looked like was the tree by itself and in the background you can see the other trees from far away making the tree stand out more and in the sky you can see the smoke the airplanes leave and this picture actually has a flare in it coming from behind the tree making the tree look dark and filled with shadows making the grass glow and you can see droplets on it.

5. A: i chose this picture because of the uniqueness in it.A simple dead tree yet the photographer made it a whole big deal and difference.I really like how it looks.

B: Unique angle, avoiding mergers,and rules of third.Cause he made the tree stand out from everything and he took it from a unique angle,he also made the surrounding frame it and the object (the tree) is right in the middle.

Lens flare,5 websites

1.Lens Flare:

2.What i saw on this website was how the light was in the picture.It made it creative and i would really like for some of my pictures to get this effect.The light that came from the sun or just different types of light make the picture a little more brighter and a happier mood for me.

3.A lot of photographers before,when they got this flare thought that it ruined the picture but now that time has changed,photographers think its creative.

4.


5. a: I picked this picture because i like how the light reflects on the grass making the colors blend with each other from the surrounding of the starting of the light(look orange) to the tips of the grass that looks yellow to the end of it that looks green.

B:I see more of a unique angle,cause the photographer took it from the bottom of where the grass stands.

Early magazine cover:

In the early magazine covers they didn't put letters or words that would describe what would be found inside the magazine.The images or just the cover itself were modeled after a book cover,it wasn't models or people but covers of books.Many were dedicated from a book's table of contents.They only provided a tittle and some publication data.

The poster cover:

They were oversized magazines.The authors got the idea of making this oversized magazine covers from art work.Most cover images didn't even relate to a story inside the magazines.The cover's image was just art but in order to go a long with it,they had to put the theme that related to it.The cover just had beautiful artwork or just simply good pictures.The pictures that the covers had were the main attraction to the people.

Pictures married to type:

They were common lines.The authors wanted to attract the reader with a deeper meaning in the covers.They put a poster that actually went with the theme of the magazine.They wanted it to be bold and not show any lines.They wanted it to symbolize something that had to do with the magazine.They wanted a large model with her face overlapping the tittle to attract more people.The placement of everything in the magazine gave it some depth as in colors,objects.This is when they started using models as their cover.

In the forest of words:

This is when they started using more intense colors in the background and in the tittle.They started using more cover lines.The cover lines had to go alone with the cover art.Some magazines even contained cover lines bigger than the tittle.They started putting more nudity in them,not exactly all naked but started showing more skin.Later they started using bold graphic cover with no more than one cover line or they put them in a small size.Cover lines started appearing in front of the models and them in the background.The cover lines surrounding them.They put more cover lines that had to do with what was going to be inside the magazine.

5 Things I'm thinking about when i design my magazine cover:

1.choose my colors correctly,like if i want to make it look like the main subject i want on the cover to pop out a little more,i don't want to add too much of something,so make it look like it came like that naturally.

2.Tes it.To try and see it from another persons eye view.Or just simply expose it to people and see if it catches their attention.

3.Find out what type of things people like and dislike so i can get an idea of what would interest them.

4.make the main object i want go along with the background,of course i don't want the background to take the attention of what I want people to focus on but it has to go along with it.

5.See if it looks like it is a real magazine so put it with other magazines.

notes


Depth of Field (shallow and wide)

Light (angle and intensity)

Shadows- where theres light theres gonna be shadows,the absence of light.

Diffusion-changing the intensity of light.

Exposure how the picture looks to our view,is it dark or light.

Aperture (f-stop) In the lens,how big the opening is inside the lens.
I will be controlling this

Shutter speed in the camera a mirror and it tells us how fast it opens and closes inside of the body of the camera

ISO is about the sensor inside of the camera and how sensitive the sensor  is to light .i will control no longer the computer. 
  
telephoto allows you to zoom in close

Prime lens allows you to move in close 

wide angle-150 degrees of angle.it gets wider.

conflict we like to see people in conflict so we take pictures of that.
interest because you're curious and you wanna know why
prominence whose more important
impact something crazy happens but you wanna see it again
novelty something interesting and different.
