classroom photography!

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get close, capture real moments, and capture action or emotion? How did you deal with these? I tried my best, it was hard because the students knew i was there and some felt uncomfortable. Though they didn't say they were uncomfortable, it showed. I tried just taking pictures when they didn't expect it.

2. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) did you find yourself thinking about the most, and how did you make sure you did these correctly? I thought more about the focus, because of the movement of the students and because of my desired main focus in the picture, i didn't want it to be out of focus.

3. Describe how you attempted to use at least one of the advanced composition techniques when you shot. I tried to put the students in the rule of thirds, then balance and i tried to avoid merges.. I'm not sure if i succeeded, but hopefully i did.

Bob Rosato's Favorite Shots

Shutter Speed - 1/640 f/2.8

What is the effect of shooting at this shutter speed?

*you catch the moving object/person

Aperture- f/2.8L IS USM zoom

What is the effect (Depth of field) of shooting at this aperture?

*You only focus on the object/person desired

Position - standing

Describe where you think the photographer was standing to get this shot.

*in the side lines, he probably had to run to catch this ...

The Rule of Thirds

The man is on the lower level third on the right side. By being there you focus on him. Your eyes drift to him in the picture because of the rule of thirds. It's hard not to notice the man in the corner.

Avoiding Mergers

the two shadows crossing each other is a merger.. if they didn't then that would be avoiding mergers.

To avoid a merger is to not have the same of something or have something looking like its attached to the person(s) or object(s) you desire to take a picture of.

Balance

The woman is in center and her arms are extended vertically forming a triangle shape when the visible lines are attached from hand to hand to joints. It gives more passion.

Framing

The frame is on all 4 sides. It gets the viewer to focus on the action/event in the center of the picture.

Lines

The men on the upper part of the picture are forming vertical lines as to form a triangle. These lines lead you to the man in the center, to the desired place of the photographer.
