my photo of a bush

this is a photograph what I took using the school cameras.
I like this photo because of all the red berries on a green back ground
also with the sun light in the top right corner that shines down on to the bush.

lighting

DefinitionLight is a fundamental part of photography. Photographers use light in their photographic compositions, sometimes taking advantage of the natural light of their surroundings and other times manipulating light sources to achieve the desired lighting effect.

Types of Lighting

Photographers use several different types of lighting in order to create the desired effect they are after. The two main types of lighting that photographers use are natural and artificial light. Within the two main types of light, there are other types of light to take into consideration.

Natural Light

Natural light is considered by many photographers to be the best type of lighting. Because natural light encompasses the entire light spectrum, there is little to no color distortion in the photograph. However, natural light is not constant; depending on the time of day, the position of the sun and cloud cover, the look of the light changes.

Artificial Light

Artificial light is more consistent than natural light; however, not all artificial light sources work with the entire light spectrum and can alter how the colors in the photograph look. Types of artificial lights include tungsten, florescent and flash. When using artificial light, photographers will take steps to counteract the unwanted color distortion.

I think this link was a good way of telling the reader what compositions was because, it explained how it is all to the photographer and how they show compositions. It is how people see the world. There is no wrong or right way of using compositions. Composition creates emotion and tells a story about the picture. It attracts the viewer to a particular part of the picture.

focal point

This website was helpful because it explains the key issues needed to take a photograph with focal point in mind!

 This photo has Leonardo DiCaprio the main aspect of this picture and he is the focal point. When you look at this the first thing you see is him and the background doesn't grab your attention only he does.  Annie Leibovitz has decided that she wants her focal point to be in the main center of the frame, this was her only sensible choice because she only has the viewer looking at one thing.

depth of field

With depth of field it is very important that you create the best effects you can so that your main focus is only on one thing. Instead of having loads of things crammed into a background make it blurred so that when we look at the photo our eye is drawn into the main aspect. This photo shows us this.


Definition: Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest object that appears in the photograph. The nearest object is sharp and clear and is the main focus whereas the background is blurry but still visible.

Factual: This photo is by the American photographer Annie Liebovitz. It is a retaken scene from the Disney movie Cinderella.

Context: This photo is of Scarlett Johansson. By her dress we can see that she has just been to a ball. In this photo we cant see where she is going to so this makes us think where she may be heading?


Technique: In this photo i don't think that Scarlett is actually in this photo i think it is just a backdrop because the background looks animated  I think this photo has been photo shopped because it looks very clear and sharp just to be taken by a camera. I think Annie wanted the background to look animated but also add real features to it.

first post

The photographer of this photo is Annie Liebowitz who is an American portrait photographer. She was born on October 2 1949 (age 63.) She grew up in Waterbury in the united states.

She took this photo of Meryl Streep (the famous film star) for the cover of the rolling stone magazine. Meryl was becoming an upcoming actress and gaining lots of attention.

This photo is shot straight on and is a medium close-up. Meryl Streep is looking straight into the camera, as if she was trying to make the viewer part of the picture. The fascinating thing about this picture is that we cant see the hands or arms. The photo was taken so we can not see whos hands are pulling on meryls face, it could be hers or someone else's. This photo looks like it has only little lighting to it, but most of it is all straight on.

I really like this photo, I like how Meryl is the only thing in the photo and the background is just plain so that our attention is only on her. Annie put Meryl in a plain white t-shirt and white face paint and that make me think
