The technique of silhouetting can be used to add glamour and intensity to many everyday photographs – including still life’s, vacation pictures and even family photographs. Handled properly, the technique will inject excitement and drama into standard photographs.

Since it is concerned only with the overall form of a subject, the silhouette can be described as a well-defined, black shape that stands out against a brightly lit, uncomplicated background. Because of its visual simplicity the silhouette has remained one of the most often used effects in spite of the deluge of special effects gadgetry that is available to today’s photographer.

A picture of a sailboat silhouetted against the setting sun, a fireman battling a blaze, or a solitary figure walking along a beach are all familiar examples of this technique. Each photo works well because the silhouette adds to the mood of an already strong image, intensifying the mood with a sense of tranquility, danger, or loneliness.

   I’ve had this since I was kid, my grandma would make them for every time I went to her house. It brings back the memories. I’d eat like a lot whenever she made them. The way how she made them was the best, it’s better than the restaurant in my opinion

This brings back memories, when someone hits a pinata, all the kids would be rushing to get candy. Mostly like fight for it. But me, I be hitting it harder than kids, I’ll take me like one hit to do it. Good times at parties.

      Sopes are the best, whenever I get them. There are just so good to eat, I’d say everyone should try this food. It’s just best to eat. How it relates to my culture is that my mom use to make them when I was younger. You’ll mostly see this food in Mexicans restaurants.

Cultural Photography is the art of taking photos for the purpose of telling about a people or a culture. The photographs may be as simple as portraits of faces, or as common as street scenes, or as complex as the capturing of scenes that illustrate social relationships. Making worthwhile cultural photographs is often not as simple as simply clicking the shutter, however. It requires a curiosity to see what is significant in the world around us, and the discipline to photographically document it. It requires thoughtful selection of what is to be photographed.

Photography offers both limitations and opportunities when we attempt to use it as a tool for documentation. While photography would seem to be the most “realistic” way of capturing the world around us, this is not necessarily true. Making cultural photographs is not as simple as simply clicking the shutter of the camera, however. It requires a curiosity to see what is significant in the world around us, and the discipline to photographically document it. It requires thoughtful selection.

The problem with photography is simple. We cannot photograph what we “see”. The mind plays tricks on us. Our eyes look at the world in a wide angle, but our consciousness focuses at any given moment on just a small part of what we are seeing. Our “interpretation” of what we are seeing, based on the context in which we are seeing it, becomes a major part of what we see. A photograph is just a selection from that overall scene. Once this selection has become a photograph it is completely isolated from the overall context in which it originally existed.  Isolating this selection in our photograph, we transform this part of the scene that was photographed. What was simply part of a larger scene now becomes a whole scene in itself. And it now exists altogether separately from any clues of interpretation except for clues that the photographer provides in the photo.

This is my favorite teacher because she’s chill, sense of humor and knows what she doing. She’s a great teacher in my opinion because she cares about her students. Her creativity is crazy good and her skills in tech theater. The way how builds and cuts wood and know what she’s talking about is amazing. I’m in her 3rd and 7th period for tech theater. In 7th period my classmates and I are builds a stage for a show coming up, it’s called “sister act” it’s a musical. I’d say we give her most of the credit because she helps a lot with everything, she’s a hard working teacher.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. When would you use external flash?
   superior control over the lighting and exposure of the subject in low light (and even in bright light where you need to fill-flash) situations.

   2. Do you need to meter the light if you use flash? As a general rule, light meters are only necessary for film photographers using studio flash, or when metering for large format film. Most film photographers can create perfect exposures using a free, or cheap mobile phone application.  3. What does flash synchronization mean? it’s the synchronizing the firing of a photographic flash with the opening of the shutter admitting light to photographic film or electronic image sensor. 4. what does ETTL mean? the mode where the camera uses information obtained through the lens (“TTL”) to calculate how much light the flash needs to emit for the appropriate brightness. 5. What will happen when you shoot faster than the camera sync speed? You cannot use a faster shutter speed than the sync speed with flash. If you try on a camera more than about 20 years old you’ll get a partial blackout of the image, and modern cameras override you electronically when the flash is on. 6. Why do photographers bounce the flash and use a diffuser? It’s used to soften or spread the harsh, concentrated light that bursts out of the flash, creating a more even and flattering light on the subject. It also helps remove heavy shadows created by the harshness of the strong lighting. 7. What is slave?  Essentially it is used to instructs a flash unit to monitor incoming light, and fire when it senses the light produced by another flash unit firing unit called “master” to fire. 8.What should you do if your image comes out too dark or too light? Recompose The Photo. This is probably the simplest solution. Use Exposure Lock. Use Fill In Flash. High Dynamic Range Imaging. Use a Filter. Fix The Original Photo in an Image Editing Program.

                   

1. What both of them have in common that both pictures have light but the on the left has a little bit.
2. The one on the right has more of natural light than the one on the left. while the left has more of a darker background
3. These pictures have their own lighting

1. Why I chose this picture because I’ve watching fast and furious when I was little.
2. This picture that the car’s on fire the person doesn’t die.
3. Another reason why I chose this picture because I always wanted to go to japan.
