Photography (pictures of people)

This picture shows people taking pictures of each other and the school.

This picture shows Denise taking a picture while I in turn takes her picture.

This picture shows Millie walking across the stairs while she fiddles with her phone camera.

Photography

Information on Photography

1)different types

- Fine art photography, Still life photography, Nature Photography Underwater Photography etc..

2)equipments

- Colour chart, Film base, Flash, Gray Card, Perspective control lens Monopod etc..

- camera, handphone, video camera, laptop with camera, tripod stand,

3)aperture

- Adjusting of the amount of light passing through the lens and also having an affect on depth of fields and diffraction

4) focus

- The adjustment to have the sharpest focus where it is desired on the subject.

5) shutter speed

- Adjustment of speed to control the amount of time spent when the imaging medium is exposed to light to reduce the amount of image blurring from motion.

6) ISO speed

- It is used on modern cameras as an indication of system's gain from light to numerical output and to control automatic exposure system. The higher the ISO number, the greater the film's sensitivity to light.

7) Metering

- The photographer may set exposure automatically. The correct exposure can be achieved with the use of a separate light metering the device. The amount of light translated into a usable aperture and shutter speed will need the meter to be adjusted by setting the "film speed" or ISO sensitivity into the meter.

8)White balance

- On digital cameras, the colour temperature which is associated with a given set of lighting conditions thus ensuring that white light in the frame appears natural. On mechanical based film-based cameras, white balance is used to register natural colouration of the image.

9) Composition

- It is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in art, which is distinct from the subject of a work.

10) Techniques

- Aerial Photography, Full spectrum photography, Harris Shutter, Lead room, Light painting etc..

Isometric is a pictorial view of a 3 dimensional object. There are 3 coordinate axes that are viewed in a way that the angles of projection are 120 degrees.

Perspective is a geometric method of representing objects that are actually 3 dimensional in 2 dimensional. For example making objects appear smaller the further they are.

Oblique is a type of graphical projection. It produces an image by intersecting parallel rays using 2 dimensional images of 3 dimensional images.

Orthographic is a view from only one side of an image.( front, back or side) Thus, it takes several views to view the entire object.

Definition of theme - Environment.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/environment

- air, water, minerals, organisms, and all other external factors surrounding and affecting an organism

(resources affecting an organism)

- an indoor or outdoor setting that is characterized by the presence of environmental art that is itself designed to be site specific. (the place setting) http://www.thefreedictionary.com/environment - totality of circumstances surrounding an organism eg. the combination of external physical conditions that affect and influence the growth, development and survival of organisms. ( factors which affect an organism) http://thinkexist.com/dictionary/meaning/environment/ - conditions, influences, or forces, by which living forms are influenced and modified in their growth and development. ( organisms are influenced by their setting) My summary of the definitions: The definition of environment means that air, water, minerals and other organisms and other external factors affect the growth and development of an organism.

ADMT Lesson 1: Personal Reflection

To me, ADMT means to design art using media and technology. An ADMT student be willing to learn, to be creative and have an open mind. My aspiration as an ADMT student to find out how to design things using technology creatively and to apply those skills in my life. I can achieve my aspiration by listening in class and trying to find out more about the public preferences using the Internet to help me design the most user-friendly product.

I sketched the following picture as I think that without art and design, the world is just blak and white, no colours at all. There is no life.
