Shutterbug Websites (2 post day)

Shutterbug Websites

        The Website DIYPhotography (https://www.diyphotography.net) is intended to inform beginner photographers about simple camera hacks, different photography techniques, lighting tips, and many more tips and tricks that make a good photo. For the most part, they write about new hardware that aids the proccess of photography, preview images taken on the latest camera model, give some advice, and sometimes, photographers share their experiences shooting and provide readers with insight on what elements they used to create their stunning photos. For example, photographer Leon Yakabov posted an article titled "How I Shot A Nightmarish Mirrored Cat Using Strobes, Constant Light And Gels," which I'm sure will come in handy for photograpehrs that are learnign how to encoorperate more unique elements and props into his or hers photo. 
        DIYPhotography is definately a very useful website, for an average viewer could easily navigate to an article that gives them all the latest updates in the photography world and they could find some cool photo taking hacks while they're at it. This contributes to the fact that I definately reccommend this website to new photographers (as myself) because it's not only is it very convenient and simple it's very entertaining and useful.

I give DIYPhotography a 5/5 rating. The website is very entertaining.

Something I learned: derrived from the article "How To Photograph Dangerous Animals From Up Close Without Approaching Them"
        In 2009, Wildlife Photographer Will Burrard-Lucas came up with a "camera buggy" called Bettle Cam that enables photographers to snap pics of dangerous wildlife without getting up-close and personal. It's pretty much the same concept as the mars rover. The Beetle Cam allows one to take photos of animals at a wide angle point of view, which is rare, considering wild angles are achieved by moving closer, as opposed to zooming in. With his Camera Buggy, Burrard snapped pictures of lions and many other potentially dangerous animals. However, Burrard notes that his invention is virtually useless when it comes to photographing shy animals because the thing scares them off. But, he also invented "camera traps," a stationary camera with a sensor, to counteract that issue. Overall, I learned a lot of things from reading this short, 7 paragraph article. This contributes to the idea that the website DIYPhotography is very helpful and simple.

Prompt Shoot II

Prompt Shoot #2 PURPLE This was the brightest I could get this photo because I took it in a dark corner. I did have to turn the ISO up quite a bit, which resulted in some grain, but not too much. The cable creates a nice S-curve  and the baseboards make decently straight lines. I made sure to keep it as simple as possible. This photo is 'purple' because the wall in the background is a calming cool toned purple. ELECTRIC   I wanted this photograph to be underexposed so that the pink looks rich. The darkness also fits the sleepy mood of the styrofoam heads. The heads and the desk that they are on create nice diagonal lines , and everything is well balanced. This photo is 'electric' because the cherry pink wig is prominent as opposed to all other elements in this photograph. COLD This photograph is perfectly exposed in my opinion. A lot of light was seeping through the window because it was mid-day. The rule of thirds is implied in this photo, as well as lin...

"The Camera History and Basic Functions"

"The Camera History and Basic Functions" 1. Explain the “camera obscura” effect. How is it achieved? In c. 500 B.C.E, Chinese and Greek philosophers discovered the "camera  obscure" effect. They found that when light is focused through a tiny hole in a wall, the scene is projects on another close by surface, upside down. 2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera? Once Isaac newton and Christian Huygens perfected optics, they were able to make extremely high-quality lenses. 3. What were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce? Niepce created the film camera. To body of the camera was a box, it also had a glass lens, and film. 4.  What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera? Light passes through the lens into the camera and exposes the film 5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image? Digital cameras use an electro...
