ARTICLE READ AND WRITE:
The article “Dramatic effects possible with silhouettes” talks about detailing the silhouettes technique, it says how the technique can be used to add glamour and intensity to many everyday photographs including still life’s, vacation picture and even family photographs. A picture of a sailboat silhouetted against the setting sun, a fireman battling a blaze, or a solitary figure walking along a beach are all familiar examples of this technique. Each photo works well because the silhouette adds to the mood of an already strong image, intensifying the mood with a sense of tranquility, danger, or loneliness. It is often helpful to alter the perspective of the photograph by shooting up at the subject, even if it means getting down on one knee to do it. The lower angle will keep the horizon at bay, and offer a greater expanse of background against which to frame the silhouette. Finally, Although it is vital to avoid cluttering the frame, don’t overlook the possibility of using another shape in the picture to compliment the main subject. A sailboat against the sky for instance, can be balanced by docks silhouetted in the foreground.
MULTIPLE EXPOSURE WITH FLASH AND SLOW SHUTTER SPEED:
I learn from multiple exposure with flash and slow shutter speed is to manage the timing on the camera. It would depend how many poses you want to do and when you have to stay and not move so your final results can look good without nobody moving. I also learn how to set up the camera to the strobes were kept on a constant setting and I chose the lowest power. My ISO was also on the lowest setting (ISO 100) for most of the shots except for the f/16 ones where I cranked it up a little. The aperture varied between f/8 – f/16, depending on the look I was after and the length of my exposure. Shutter speed also varied between one second to a few seconds, to bulb. A dark background is better, compare the image above with the light background to the other images with the black background. The difference in the final image is vast. I prefer the dark background where my intention was to freeze several portraits and the lighter background where my focus was on capturing the trail of movements. Finally, Any flash picture is effectively a double exposure, once from the flash, and once from any ambient continuous light that might be present. These two effects work differently, with different rules. The ambient may be an insignificant level indoors, or it may be overwhelmingly significant when using fill flash in bright sunlight. We might be able to ignore the ambient indoors, but generally must match it in daylight and a slightly slower shutter speed will allow the photographer to introduce an element of blur, either in the subject, where, in our example, the feet, which are the fastest moving element in the frame, might be blurred while the rest remains sharp; or if the camera is panned to follow a moving subject, the background is blurred while the subject remains relatively sharp. The exact point at which the background or subject will start to blur depends on the speed at which the object is moving, the angle that the object is moving in relation to the camera, the distance it is from the camera and the focal length of the lens in relation to the size of the digital sensor or film.

The article “A War Photographer Embeds With The Capitol Hill Mob” is talking about the day when people wanted to get into the Capitol. It say on the article “But I didn’t see it being as easy as it turned out to be. Why would you think that? It just seems ridiculous. This is the United States government.” Without realizing, people were able to get into the capitol but the government decided to use violence to maintain residents out of the capital but it took only an hour or so for rioters answering the call of their mad overlord to push past Capitol Police and start ramming their way into the building. Once they were in the building they did not know what to do, they said “There was no leadership, there was no plan. Also, there was no target. They weren’t saying, ‘We’re going to get Pence or McConnell.’ Just, ‘We’re going in, it’s ours. You let Black Lives Matter do whatever they want, and this is what we want to do.’” At the end, everything ended in disaster, Police tried to deter the marauders with pepper spray and flash bombs just outside the Capitol. “If people had actually known what they were doing,” Haviv said, “actually had some plans, the police would have obviously been overwhelmed” more quickly and thoroughly and by later night the capitol was surrounded by polices. Finally, this day is going to memories due to the brave people who was able to get into the capital, for the people who got hurt during the events and for what people were trying to fight to get the rights they deserve.
MOTION BLUR Tips:
Five tips to do motion blur is taking a motion picture, have an object to not move, have a good light, put timing of the camera so it is easier, have a standard, be creative. It could be difficult to get a perfecto object moving to just stay in the picture but if you want motion blur it is easier and doing the opposite since the person has to move.
Fill Flash Outside:
Fill flash is not used to overpower other sources affecting your subject. Instead, it’s job is to reduce shadows caused by a stronger light. When your subject is lit from behind this often results in it appearing too dark in photos. This is because the exposure meter reads the light from the background and not from your subject. By using flash you can balance the light on your subject with the light in the background. This way both your subject and the background will be well exposed. By using flash but don’t control the amount of the flash power, the essence of fill flash is to balance the output with the ambient light that’s affecting the subject. The key to finding the balance is in setting the exposure for the ambient light. Then the flash power to a suitable level relative to your exposure settings. Flash photography outdoors helps to reduce the hard shadows brightness from the sun produces on your subject. Adding flash to an outdoor portrait, for example, can reduce or eliminate shadows in people’s eye sockets and under their nose and chin. Even softening these shadows by using flash, the lighting becomes more attractive.
TED TALK; Impossible Photography
In the video, at the begging Erik Ohanasson gives examples of his work and how there are things you want to do but it is impossible to take with a camera that is why we have editing apps. He say “it is more of capturing an idea, then capturing a moment” that explains a lot of photography on how there is more important things then just capturing a moment.
He sys how with something simple, you can create many unique things. The unexpecting things you can think of, it is a good idea of photography. He explains how by combating two random photos, you can create something unique. By auditing details, colors, and moments you can create something amazing. Erik say it does that planning, but it is not difficult”, “to achieve realizesment, it comes out of planning”.
It is also important to sketch and Erik say “the only thing that limit use is our imagination”. I like everything that Erik say and it is true on how we can create amazing photos with a big creativity and planning with sketching.

Canon lens experience review:
Abbe numbers, often known as the “optical constant,” are a benchmark for classifying the light and color dispersion characteristics of optical glass. There are roughly 250 different Abbe classes based on the composition and optical properties of the glass, and it’s not uncommon to see numerous Abbe classifications of glass elements utilized in a single lens design. Aberrations are optical artifacts that arise when the dynamics of the picture being shot exceed the lens design’s or the lens’s materials’ limits. Flare, color fringing at the margins of contrast-rich images, and optical distortion are the most frequent aberrations, depending on the details of the aberration. When two concave (or one concave and one convex) lens elements are put together, an air lens is created. Air lenses are commonly used in lens design because they have the same refraction index as air (1.0). The lens aperture, often known as f/stops (or f-stops), is the opening produced by the lens’s diaphragm blades, which allows a variable quantity of light to pass through the lens. The lens diaphragm blades expand and close in the same way as the iris in the human eye opens up to let more light into the eye when light levels are low and closes as light levels increase, allowing more or less light through the lens. When it comes to managing spherical aberrations in wide-aperture lenses and distortion in wider-angle lenses, conventional or spherical lens elements have limits. Coma is an optical phenomena in which off-axis light points appear as comet-shaped blurs instead of crisper spherical sources of light. Coma forms’ “tails” generally point toward or away from the image’s center, and the degree of coma rises according to the angle of light entering the lens. The degree of contrast in a photographic picture between darker and brighter parts. High contrast photos have a distinct and sharp white-to-black ratio, but low-contrast images have a larger degree of gray tones, resulting in lower-contrast shots.
Read And Write:
1-shoot from a lower angle; it looks better shooting from a low angle then an eye level, to have a better picture.
2-Use leading lines; by using the lines in a picture, you can grab the audience attention.
3-Fill the frame; by filling the picture you can give a better effect to the picture and more creativity.
4-Frame Subject; with framing an object or a human, it gives that creativity to the picture so the audience would have an effect.
5-Leave space for movement; with a moving picture it is easier to grab the audience attention because it is not easy to take an action picture.
Raw Vs. Jpeg Capture;
The difference between shooting in raw and jpeg. Raw format is superior to Jpeg because a raw picture is a digital camera image file that contains raw or little treated data. Raw files have not yet been processed, they are not ready to be printed or manipulated with a bitmap graphics editor. Before being converted to a “positive” file format like TIFF or JPEG for storage, the picture is handled by a raw converter in a wide-gamut internal color space where precise changes may be performed.
A Jpeg is considered the standard file format in the photography world. Jpeg is a popular lossy compression technique for digital pictures, especially for those created by digital photography. The degree of reduction may be tweaked, providing for a customizable trade-off between image quality and storage space.

What I learned about camera exposure and camera modes.
Aperture: The aperture setting on a camera determines how much light can travel through the lens. It is defined in terms of an f-stop value, which is sometimes paradoxical because the opening area grows as the f-stop drops.
Shutter Speed: The shutter of a camera controls whether the camera sensor is open or closed to incoming light from the lens. The shutter speed refers to the amount of time that light is allowed to enter the camera.
ISO: The ISO implement mobile the camera’s sensitivity to incoming light. In contrast to shutter speed and aperture, a lower ISO speed is nearly always preferred, because higher ISO speeds substantially increase image noise.o
