What the Pros are doing.


1.) Focal length of lens - Canon EOS-5D, EF 15mm f/2.8 fisheye.

2.) Shutter Speed - shot at 1/1600 f/2.8

3.) What is the effect of shooting at this shutter speed? You can see the car clearly instead of blurry like most photos would be.

4.) Aperture- 15mm

5.) What is the effect (Depth of field) of shooting at this aperture? The picture looks darker than it actually is and you can see the red in the background better.

6.) Position - Describe where you think the photographer was standing to get this shot. I think he was standing right inside the gate, because there is no gate that you can see, but he has to be standing a little far back, because the car is so small in the photo.

Show and Tell

This is where the video I chose is, it should be on the top of the page:
http://photoblog.statesman.com/page/8

I chose this picture because it has great color and everything stands out like it should.
I chose the video because its sad and it really got to me. Its really good to do something like that, so you ca think about what really happened and what would happen if that was someone you knew or it was you.

Filling the Frame

I think this photo fill the frame the best, because you can see see the other people in the background, but you can also tell that the main part is about the girl, who seems to be daydreaming.

Action and Emotion

This photo shows the best action and emotion because the girl is getting her blood drawn. The emotion is that you can really see her pain in her face, but you can tell that she still wants to do this and get it done with.

The Story

This photo tells the best story because you can really see the difference between the two girls. One girl is really happy or scared or something like that, and the other is freaked out, because they are dissecting something. I think this picture was taken just as the blond girl opened what ever they are dissecting and she thought it was either really funny or really surprising.

ATPI Fall Contest Picture

This photo is powerful because it really speaks to you in the way that you can tell that the girl in the picture is feeling sad or depressed, which in turn, make you sad or depressed, through empathy.
The lighting in this photo is dim, which makes the photo look more depressing, because the only color is the magenta umbrella.
This photo has many do's and don't's. Starting with it looks like the metal bars are growing out of the girl, so they did a bad job on not merging. But the metal bars are also like leading lines, because they are leading toward the girl. It also has symmetry, because if you split the girl in half the picture will be split in half. And finally it has the composition of background because the background is very simple, for it is just a plain gray.
The exposure is good, because it is not completely dark, but its not really light. It is perfect for this picture.
