FramingBalanceLineCropRule of ThirdsI created these HDR (high dynamic range) photographs at the duck pond. I took these pictures using a tripod to get a steady shot. Once the photos were taken using the 5 different exposures, we uploaded and merged them on our computers using photoshop. After they were merged, we staurated and removed the "ghosts" in the image to complete the photo.

To photograph the moon:
1. Use a tripod! A flat surface will only allow you to shoot straight, and shooting the moon means that you'll be shooting up and constantly re-adjusting the tripod as the moon moves throughout the night. 2. Use a shutter release cord, remote or the camera's self timer if you don't have one, so that you don't move the camera when pressing the shutter release during a long exposure. 3. Use a zoom lens and zoom in as much as you can to the moon. It's okay if it's not a super fancy lens, this was shot using a 15 year old $100 lens. Focus in on the craters and details on the moon. 4. ISO 1250- 1600, so that you can use as fast a shutter speed as you can without losing detail-the longer the shutter speed, the more chances you have the camera will shake even slightly in the wind, resulting in an out of focus photograph. 5. Aperture priority of f/5.6 since you are not worried about capturing any details other then the moon. 6. Bracket your exposure, meaning over expose and underexpose the photograph from what the camera is telling you. Generally the camera will overexpose the moon, so you'll get nothing but a white blob in the sky. Use the exposure compensation button (the +/- button below the shutter release) and change the exposure to -0.5, then -1.0, then -1.5 and so on, until you start seeing detail in the moon. You may go as far as -5.0 exposure compensation to get what you need. 7. Take a fair amount of photos and keep refocusing as the night progresses. The photographs may look focused on the camera's display, but you won't really see if they're completely in focus until you upload them onto your computer screen. Balance: This photo was taken of some books stacked up in the library. The principle of balance is present in this photograph, because the books are stacked unevenly. This photo was successful, because it gives a good example of proportion. Proportion: This photograph was taken of a bookshelf in the RBV library. The principle of proportion can be found in this photo because the angle which I took the photo make the bookshelf look very tall. This photograph was successful, because I used a different angle to help portray the height of the shelf. Rhythm: This photograph was taken of Kimberly running down a hallways. The element of rhythm is present in this photo, because she is in motion. This photograph was successful, because it captured a really cool looking photo of her running. Emphasis: This photograph is one of the columns at RBV that someone decided to decorate. The principle emphasis is present in this photo, because your eyes are immediately drawn to the blues and greens of the the flowers and vines someone drew. This photograph is successful because yes it does show the principle of emphasis, but it also shows you an example of a small way our school is beautiful. Harmony: This photo was taken in the quad over by the gym. The element harmony can be found in this photograph because of how peaceful and calming it is. This photograph was successful, because it really captured the image of harmony, plus it doesn't look like it was taken at a school. Variety: This photo was taken in the library of the things sitting on top of the shelves. This photograph captures the principle of variety, because it includes a variety of different objects. This image was successful, because it shows variety in a fun way. Unity:
This photograph was taken of one of the murals painted at RBV. The principle unity is present in this photo, because t provides a bunch of different elements, but it looks good together because they are all in the same color scheme. This photo was successful, because it shows you a great example of unity within our school. |
