BalanceBalance is presented symmetrically in this photo. This photo relates to our physical sense of balance. Balance makes this photo successful because it creates even proportions for the viewer's eye. ProportionProportion is present in this photo because the scale of the man in this photo appears larger than he actually is. Since the photo was taken from a low position he appears larger. Proportion makes this photo successful because the size of the subject isn't his actual size. RhythmRhythm is represented by the group of kids running at once. Their still movements create the artwork to seem active. Rhythm makes this photo successful because the photo looks like the subjects are moving in a still picture. EmphasisEmphasis is presented in this photo because the fire hydrant is the most dominant object in the photo and is the thing that stands out most. It is the first thing that catches the viewers eye. Emphasis makes this photo successful because the subject is showing dominance over the rest of the objects. HarmonyHarmony is presented in this photo because all of the leaves and branches are interacting to form a whole. The leaves have the same characteristics and it creates a form of unity. Harmony makes this photo successful because all of the elements come together to create a sense of unity. VarietyI tried to capture variety in this photo by changing the way of seeing a normal human. Usually when you see somebody they're standing on their two feet, but in this photo my subject is standing on his two hands. Variety makes this photo successful because it adds a sense of diversifying elements to add individualism. UnityIn this photo I tried to bring the elements of plants and animals together. This photo captures the two sides of nature coming together to create oneness. Unity makes this photo successful because it creates a sense that makes everything look like it fits and work together.
LineLine is presented in this photo by the ridges on the school roof. There is also a horizontal line that is going across the top. Line makes this photo successful because it defines the edges of the form and it leads our eye around the composition. ColorColor is shown in this shot through very warm colors. The red and yellow are very bright in the photo and show the value of the photo. Color makes this photo successful because it demonstrates three colors that are close to each other on the rainbow. ShapeShape is shown in this photo by the creation of two linking parallelogram by crossing lines. As the lines go diagonal and horizontal they create shapes. Shape makes this photo successful because it shows two dimensional inorganic shapes. FormForm is created in this photo by the shadow of the ball. The shades and shadows make the subject three dimensional. Form makes this photo successful because it gives the viewer a sense of height, width and depth. TextureTexture is presented in this photo because through the photo you can tell what the subject is going to feel like. We can imagine the texture of the plant through the photograph. Texture makes this photo successful because even in this two dimensional work we can have a sense of what it will feel like in real life. SpaceSpace is present through the feeling of depth in this photo. There is no primary object, but you can still get a reference of depth through the descending tree size. Space makes this photo successful because you can get the feel of depth and dimensions through this photo. ValueValue is present because of the lightness of the surface of the bush. The ground is the same color, but has a shadow so the color changes. Value makes this photo successful because it shows the lightness and darkness of the photo.
LineThe element of line is shown in the tight-rope the man is walking on. The line is a horizontal line. This line makes the photo successful because it leads our eye to the main subject. ColorThere is a mix of warm and cool colors in this odd portrait. The colors blue and red are complimentary colors because they opposite each other on the color wheel. The color makes this photo successful because it creates a pop in the portrait that is unusual. ShapeShape is present in this photo due to the two dimensional, manmade shapes. The shapes make this photo successful through arrangement, size and color. FormThe photographer tried to present form in this photograph by angling his camera so there would be shadows, to make the rocks look three dimensional. Form makes this photo successful because all of subjects appear to be three dimensional and very detailed. TextureThere is a physical texture presented in the snow of this photo. Even though some of the photo is two dimensional we have an idea of how the object would feel in real life. Texture makes this photo successful because its soothes the person looking at the photo and gives them a feel almost a they were there. SpaceSpace is present in this photo because you can feel the depth behind the animal. The artist used area around the subject. Space makes the photo successful because it creates a sense of emptiness in the photo and that was what the photographer wanted to create. ValueShading is present in this photo of value, but the photo really focuses on the use of color. The whole photo is dark, but the fiery orange really pops. Value makes this photo successful because of the unity and balance in color and shading BalanceIn this photo the artist achieves balance asymmetrically. The photo is symmetric in its own halves, but if split down the middle it is asymmetric and unbalanced. This element makes the photo successful because it makes people think the photo is symmetric but it is really not. ProportionProportion is present in this photo because the photographer took this photo looking down at the subject. The subject appears even smaller to this ginormous wave. This element makes the photo successful because it emphasizes the mass of the water. RhythmRhythm is presented in this photo because there is movement presented. The photo appears to be active. Rhythm makes this photo successful because it makes the photo look like it is moving. EmphasisEmphasis is present in this photo because the young girl's eyes is the main focus in the photo.

The dragonfly is trusting the human will not harm it and the human is trusting that the dragonfly will not fly away. Unity makes this photo successful because it seems like they are in a time of distress, but they are still connected.
Everybody took the photographs in shutter priority mode on our cameras. We started taking photos with the shutter setting at 1/1000th of a second and adjusted it according to lighting. If the photos were too dark we would lower the shutter speed to brighten up the photo. Some struggles I had taking these photos was finding a good balance between light and angles when taking the photo. The only way to fix this, was taking lots of photos from many different angles and then see which ones came out the best. What I learned about fast shutter speed is that you can hold down the shoot button, and if you’re in the right setting it will literally capture every split second of movement in that shot. In fast shutter speed you can capture facial expressions and emotions very well and some turn out to be extremely hilarious. I also learned that lowering the shutter speed could enhance lighting in the shot. Some other things I would use a fast shutter speed for would be if, I were shooting somebody hitting a baseball. I could also use a fast shutter speed for a row of dominos being knocked over.

Moncure ROP Photo and Imaging The focus in this project is to portray a photo that show’s how to respect your self. In the photo the center piece’s shirt is bright red. My model is holding hands with her friends while they smile and have a good time. A big part of respecting yourself is surrounding yourself with positive people that will only support you. If you are surrounded with people who bring you down or are up to no good, it’s only going to affect you in a negative way. By choosing the right crowd, you are doing your self a favor. In the photo everybody is holding hands to represent trust, positivity and support through one another. Sometimes it can be tough if kids are bullied at school or don’t have many friends. All they need is an extra boost by a couple positive students and it can change their lives. Spreading positivity throughout your community take minimal to none effort. Something else my photo is representing is surrounding yourself with people that are going to steer you in the right direction. The models are walking forward, representing progressive and positive steps with no steps back. If the people that surround you have the same goals as you it will just make you have a stronger mindset towards what you want. We took these light paintings on a tripod in a pitch black room. The tripod was set about about waist to chest high depending on the photographer. We covered all the windows and blinds with black plastic and black paper sheets. We took the photos in manual mode with manual focus. When I was shooting my parter, she mainly used the MyLightPaint app or glow sticks. We found out that the app worked better than the glow sticks. I let my partner experiment with whatever patterns and designs she wanted to do. We tried many logos that the app provided us with and a lot of name initials. I also tried to make her draw out a a heart. Lastly we tried to make a wavy type pattern with a pop of the flash. We did this so we could get a lit bit of her in the photo with the light painting still going over her. Some struggles I had with light painting was adjusting the shutter speed to hand movement speed. It was crucial to move not too fast or slow to accommodate the shutter speed. Also I had some issue with brightness and lighting. Some of the times the light painting wasn't bright enough. The three most important things I learned by doing the light painting experiment was that sometimes it's just luck on how your photo is going to turn out, your phone brightness needs to be at its highest, and everything is trial and error with this project. You won't know how something is going to turn out unless you try. Also take as many pictures as you can because even if you accidentally press the button something special could still happen. If I could do this project again I would spend more time brainstorming my designs before I took out the camera. Also another idea I have is trying to do a light painting with an object. Maybe light painting with a globes or an american flag.
All of the different shutter speeds capture the photo, but each shot has a different outcome. The 1/3rd of a second shot is a very slow shutter speed which is why the ghostly effect is present throughout the photo. The 1/6th of a second shot still gets the blur of motion, but not nearly as much as the 1/3rd of a second shot. The 1/60th of a second shot really can key into the motion and there isn't much blur. There is not much of a difference between the 1/30th and the 1/60th shot, but the 1/60th shot is clearer. At the 1/250th of a second shot there is bare to none amount of blur, like the 1/1000th shot. This speed captures all motion with creating very little motion blur. The fastest shutter speed, 1/1000th of a second, really gets a clear shot of the students jumping. It captures the a split second of them jumping and that's why the photo is so clear. You want to use a very fast shutter speed to capture fast moving subjects and freeze it in motion. For example, if you wanted to capture fast moving cars or runners, you would use a fast shutter speed so your photo doesn't get motion blur. You also want to use a fast shutter speed in low light areas. If you do this you need to increase your ISO and widen your aperture. There are also situations where you want to use a slow shutter speed. if you are capturing water you can use a slow shutter speed to get the effect of making it look static and ghostly. Slow shutter speeds are used to capture light trails and car headlights. You can also use slow shutter speeds when there is a non moving subject around moving subjects. There will be focus on the non-moving subject and everything around it will be blurred.
SS Notes:
The cyanotype was invented in 1842 by John Herschel. The chemicals used in cyanotypes are potassium ferricyanide, hydrogen peroxide and ferric ammonium. First, we started the brushing emulsion by brushing a thin piece of paper with potassium ferricyanide, ferric ammonium and water. Next we used a hair drier to completely dry the brushed paper. After that, we placed our design/artwork under a piece of plexiglass to keep it in place. I decided the make a cyanotype of a stencil I took from google images. I made the photo a negative and printed it on plastic. The next station was where we took our designs to the sunlight. We took them out and placed them in the sun for 7-8 minutes. You had to make sure your photo was getting complete sunlight with no shade. After that we took our paper out and placed it in a trey of water. After we washed out all of the yellow for 3 minutes, we added a couple drops of hydrogen peroxide to get the dark blue color in our paper. You could rinse as long as needed until you got the color you wanted.
Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre was the inventor of the Daguerrotype. This type of imaging was invented in 1839. A Daguerrotype is a photographic process using an iodine-sensitized silvered plate and mercury vapor. The process of making a Daguerrotype starts with a silver-plated copper plate. The the plate is polished with detail till it is reflecting images like a mirror. Lastly the plate is sensitized to light over iodine and bromine in specially designed, light-proof boxes.
