CONTESTS PREVIEW, SHOW AND TELL
ATPI Self Portrait Contest
I like this photo because its really stange and kinda creepy and dream like. I like the subject because its kinda strange and it makes you see things in a different way. I also love her use of the spotlight on her it gives this image a staged kinda street like quality/grittiness. I like the composition and how she set the camera up just straight ahead of her with a blank background because it makes it feel staged and it makes it like a story. The image is like a strange story or part of a movie almost and it makes me want to know more.
I like this photo because of its use of colors and the purple and black shadows and undertones it has in it. I also like its simplicity its just like a straight on picture but the way he messed with it and the light on his forehead gives it this unique and kinda dark mood.
The photo I'm talking about in this is the one of the creepy old lady in red. I like this photo because of its well planned composition and how she's off to the side a little bit and the black background for simplicity that makes us focus on her face. I also liked the different striking colors the photographer used together; the white of the woman, the red of her shall and the blackness of the background. Also the lighting in this photo is well done as she is bright and well lit while the background is pitch black which makes her really pop. The subject is really cool and interesting to look at as well.

5 WEBSITES #2
1) http://photographylife.com/what-is-vignetting
2) I learned about vignetting and the different types of vignetting. I learned that vignetting is the dark corners of the photographs that can be used to help the viewer focus on the subject. You can do vignetting in photoshop artificially and you can also do it with just lenses and certain filters and hood caps with wide lenses and a large aperture.
3) I learned about the different types of vignetting and that some people use it and some people don't use it and that it depends on the picture. If you're shooting a portrait or something with an up close subject vignetting would be good to help the viewer focus on your subject, but if your shooting large landscapes its better not to use vignetting.
a)I can take better photos through the use of vignetting and i could work on up close subjects and use the vignetting technique to really focus on the subject of the image.
b) I also learned you can get rid of vignetting on photoshop and lightroom and you can also add it in photoshop and lightroom artificially.
1) http://photographylife.com/what-is-moire
2) I learned what moire was. Moire is when you shoot something with repetitive details thats so much for the sensor to handle so it creates this wavy ill colored type thing. Moire is usually seen on our regular day to day lives not in nature. Hard to get rid off but there are some softwares that can help you reduce them.
3) I learned what moire was.
a) I can try to avoid it and notice it and look out for it when I'm shooting things with repetitive details.
b) He said lightroom 4 and capture NX for Nikon have moire reduction

2) I looked at different pictures of photographers portfolios. I looked at a photographers portfolio named Dave Hill who took lots of photos for fiat and other cars. He also took pictures that looked almost fake like he used a weird affect almost like extreme HDR. I also looked at Jeremy Cowarts photos who had cool images with nice colors that felt smooth and clean.
3) I learned like different techniques and how to take more eye pleasing photographs

HDR PHOTOGRAPHY
1) High Dynamic Range
2) To better show the color and depths of the image and how it would actually look in real life by using different exposures of the same image.
3) You take a bunch of different photos of the same subject at different exposures.
4) Yes, some cameras like the Red can shoot in HDR.

HOW DO THE PROS DO IT
1) Alyssa Schukar
A story about a bulimic person with some singles of a track hurdler and a roller derby girl.
3 Problems
A) Didn't get up close and personal with the subject.
B) Other people have done the story before better
C) Always used the same kind of lenses and same distances, didn't vary it up at all.
2 Likes
A) Liked the composition of the man sweeping up rubble in Haiti, liked the colors she captured and how she set up the photograph.
B) Liked the picture of the track hurdler falling down. They liked how she got low to shoot it which gave it a unique angle and liked the emotion she captured in it.
I thought it was pretty good overall I didn't really like her story that well, but I thought her single photos were really great and she captured some really fantastic images like the track hurdler, the roller derby girl and the guy sweeping. If she would've done a better story I think she would've done way better.
2) They liked how he had a very good eye and how he was creative and they liked how he varied up his angles and pictures through different techniques and distances. They also liked the emotions he caused.
I saw his strengths were that he had a very good eye and was creative in trying new techniques.
I didn't really see any weakness except id probably suggest he tries shooting different topics than just sports because most of his photos of are sports.
3) They wanted to reward diversity and they choose the one with the most good pictures of different styles and pictures. They also didn't like if there was any photos that weren't strong photos and they rewarded the portfolio which was solid they didn't want any photos that wernt strong.
INDIVIDUAL IMAGE
1) I agreed with them on the picture story of the ones with the racing dogs how he had good composition and captured all aspects of the race he had to and how he kept it tight and solid.
2) I disagree with the one judge who said the picture of the soccer player in the air with the crazy big expression on her face does nothing for him because I think its a great image. I like the emotion caught and how the photographer set up the picture it looks really powerful and really expresses great emotion.
