One thing I learned off the website was the Exposure Triangle. Aperture controls the area which light can enter your camera. ISO controls your cameras sensitivity to your cameras sensor  to the amount of light. Shutter speed controls the duration of exposure.

Lilian Bassman

Lillian Violet Bassman was born on June 15, 1917, in Brooklyn and grew up in the Bronx, she became a magazine art director and a fashion photographer, and died at age 94. In late 1945 Lilian was asked to be the art director of the Bazaar magazine. On her lunch hours she would go to the darkroom and develop fashion photographs, using tissues and gauze Lilian would apply bleach to certain areas to manipulate tone.

On the left is a photo taken by Lilian Bassman. This photograh is a photo of a lady in a dress looking  upwards, maybe to the sky. In the back of her dress she has her hands folded crossing her hands behind her back. The lady look like she's probably rich in that time period.

Robert Frank

This is a photo taken by Robert Frank, I think that it's very interesting because this girl looks like she's 12 and she's smoking. Like no girl do not, and like what if that's her little sister right there.

Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams was born on February 20, 1902 and died April 22, 1984. His black and white photographs of the American West have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters, and books. Between 1929 and 1942 his work and reputation developed. By the 1960s appreciation f or photography in art form developed to the point which Adams photographs were shown in large galleries and museums. 

This picture is one of many photos taken by Ansel Adams. This is a picture of a forest in black and white, it has a lot of depth of field because some trees are closer than others and the trees in the background look smaller. I think something interesting about this picture is how the only thing you can see is the trees, the background is black. It looks like it was maybe taken at night or something.

I like this picture because the water drops are leading lines, and inside of them you can see clearly the flower in the background even though it is blurry in the background thats behind the water drops.

Henry Callahan

Henry took a picture of some kind of tree with black and white, and why I like this picture is because it looks like the white is glowing.

Weegee

(Photo by: Weegee) 

This is one of the photos shot by Weegee. This is a picture of a clown in a dressing room, but this photo to me is very creepy but interesting. Before I knew that this clown was an actor, I thought someone actually liked to be dresses up like that and he was just some creepy stranger Weegee saw. What do other people think the story behind this picture is? I do think some other pictures from him are interesting, but some are too gory, or just plain weird. For example the pictures he took at crime scenes, I mean that was his work but it doesn't interest me.

The Rabbit

One day Andrew was walking in the forest with one of his good friends Angel. It was cold outside because it October. "What are you gonna be for Halloween?" Andrew asked Angel. "I don't know yet, maybe a witch, what about you?" she asked. He turned away from looking at her and told her to start walking faster. Andrew looked scared and Angel was confused because she didn't know what he got scared of, she started walking faster to keep up with him. They turned the corner "Why did you get scared, what's wrong Andrew" she cried. "You didn't see that Angel?" "It was someone watching us in a rabbit suit, and I know it's probably just someone in a costume, but that's not the first time I've seen that creepy person lurking around today." Andrew paused for a moment, "I think it might be following me, I don't know why but I think it is." Angel didn't say anything for a moment. "Stop okay, I get it you love Halloween but it's not funny to joke like that I'm really creeped out!" "I'm not playing I don't know who that person is I keep seeing it all day!" Then they heard something in the woods so they started running, running, running, they were getting tired so Angel looked back and her surprise the psycho in the rabbit suit was chasing them."Keep running he's following us!" Angel screamed. They were almost out of  the forest and to the road, then they fell into a hole, they didn't know where it came from but Andrew and Angel were so scared they started crying. They just wanted to get home, they thought they were going to die so they hugged each other, crying scared. Then darkness, they could hear their heart beating, and the person who trapped them was still up there so they didn't want to call out for help. All they could see was black, darkness, black, darkness, black, black, black. So scared for their their lives Andrew could only come with one solution, "I'm gonna pick you up and you climb out and run okay? Don't look back no matter what" he told her. So he picked her up and she ran. He heard screaming that sounded just like her, he knew she was caught. Minutes later the rabbit threw he down to the hole unconscious. Then a big round thing started coming down it looked like a rock and it hit him right right in the head. This was no scary story where the bad guys lose, not at all. They were gone, dead.

Irving Peen

(born June 16, 1917-2009)

                     

Irving Peen is known for his iconic fashion, still life, and portrait                      which appeared in Vogue. He is ranked as one of the foremost photographers of the 20th century. In the late 1930's Peen took pictures of street scenes, in the early 1940's he took photographs of the American South, celebrity portraits, fashion photographs, still lives, and more private studio images.

This is one on Penn's fashion pictures, this photograph is from 1995 Bee (A) or well known as Bee On Lips. This picture is of a lady with a bee on her lip. I like this picture because it is interesting. Why is there a bee on her lips? I also like it because Peen inspired Sean+Seng to take a picture similar to this . A bee perched on famous singer Lana Del Rey's lips.

Shutter Speed.

A picture is taken when the shutter opens and the image is exposed to light. Shutter speed is how fast the shutter opens and closes. Shutter speed is measured in fractions of a second, the larger the denominator the faster the shutter will open and close. As the shutter speed increases the amount of light getting to an image decreases. A shutter speed of 1/1000 is faster than 1\500, but only get half the amount of light. The shutter speed is affected by the aperture and the ISO setting. Using a high ISO setting or a Larger aperture will allow more light into the camera. This allows a faster shutter speed.

ISO

http://www.exposureguide.com/images/iso-sensitivity/iso-sensitivity-comparison.jpg

ISO is the level of sensitivity of your camera to light is. The lower the ISO number, the less sensitive to light it is.The higher the ISO the more sensitive to light it is. The component inside your camera to change the sensitivity is called "image sensor". 

https://rachelbloggyfroggy.wordpress.com/2011/03/02/perspective-rule-of-thirds-leading-lines/

This is a picture of depth of photo because the lady's hands are in the foreground and the sun is in the background. This photo is also using rule of thirds because the main focus is more off to side, rather than in the middle of the picture. The bottom hand is also leading lines because it's leading to the sun.

Depth of Field

This is an example of depth of field. The flowers in the background are blurry, and the flower in the fore ground is sharp and focused. 

F Stop

www.digitalcameraworld.com

F Stop is the opening that lets light into your camera. The numbers of F Stop  relates to the size of the opening that lets light into your camera. The F Stops are are a measurement of the diameter of the aperture.  The apertures are backwards, for example F8 is smaller than an aperture of F4. The larger the number the smaller the opening.
