Sugar Hill

A. What skills in addition to photography did Melanie Burford utilize to produce this slideshow?
She used multimedia to make it more emotional. The woman singing in the background and hearing what these people have to say along with the pictures of their homes and life.

B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow.
The peoples stories. Hearing the pain and emotion in their voices make it more meaningful.

I think that the interactive map is one of the most interesting features on there because you get a visual of how things are set up and peoples opinions on the complex.

Best Sports Photos

Rafael Palmerio, of the Texas Rangers, when he hit his 500th home run.

EF 70-200mm

shot at 1/2000

By shooting at 1/2000 he is able to stop all of the fans, the umpire and Palmerio as they show their reactions to his home run.

f/4.5

This small aperture lets the fans still be clear and you can still see the looks on their faces.

I think that the photographer is standing off to the side of first base so that Palmerio is running towards him when leaving home plate.

Mergers.

This photo is very simple. It doesn't have a distracting background to take away from the jet. There aren't even any clouds or anything, just the simple blue sky.

This is an example of mergers. None of their heads are cut off or hands. The little girl has her arms spread out across the picture but nothing is taken away from the photo.

This is an example of balance. The frame of the building have fallen opposite of each other making it symmetrical.

This follows the rule of the thirds. the fire fighter is off to the side rather then right in the middle. It makes the photo more interesting then just having him directly in the middle.

This photo uses lines behind the men. It gives a path for the eye to follow from firefighter to fire fighter.

The fire fighters are framed by the building around them with a message in the front.

Enlarging my first photo

Today i enlarged one of my photos. The first thing i did was make sure there were not any water spots on it so i used photo flow to clean it off. Then i loaded the negatives into the enlarger by putting the negative holder all the was back in the machine and then putting down the head it. Then I turned the light all the way up to focus the image and I used one little tool to see the grains of the image to make sure they were clear. After that i turned the light almost all the way down and made a test strip by exposing different parts of the paper with different amounts of time ranging from three seconds to six seconds. I developed the image and then took it out in t he light to see which would work best. I decided on four seconds and went back and made the actual image the same way as the test strip but without covering parts of it. I developed the image and now its on the drying rack.
