Conclusion:

 My topic is lonely man. I chose this topic because it is similar with my life and I always feel alone. I want to show the sadness, helpless and the lonely of man. I believe that everyone has lonely time in life and this topic maybe is very popular, but it is basic on people’s life. I have to say I don’t have that gift to shoot pictures well but I really tried. I want show how hard to survive alone and I want people pay more attention and more care on them. Picture can show beautiful view, can make people recall a moment and also can remain people to pay attention on something. Maybe my photos do not look good, but I want people to focus on those who are alone. I know people are concerned about illness or disability now, but forget about the friends, relatives and those who need to be with us. I have to say shooting picture is hard, because I need to set my camera well, make a nice pose and find a nice view, but when I get a nice picture that happiness is hard to describe. Even my topic is lonely man, but when I shoot pictures my friends help me a lot and they tell me I am not alone. Those reward I cannot get from others classes. Even thought I am not a good photographer, but photography is a real nice and interesting class for me.

Experience:

I didn't come to class last week so i have no idea about how was my picture last week , but I ask my friend to check my picture she side that it is hard to find which topic I am doing . So this time my topic is lonely boy, I hope this time it will be ok

Observations:

I find a raining day because that weather is more suitable for the lonely mood, I even use the shadow to show how alone he is.

 Findings:

I think when I did the shoot it was not easy but have so much fun. I have to set where people stay and what pose he need to show. So in fact take picture is not easy but fun

Exercise 4a: Rule of Thirds

Lecture

In this class I know that when we shoot a picture I shouldn't put the object in the middle. In fact there nine parts in a picture, there are two horizontal lines and two vertical lines divide the image into nine parts on average. If you want people pay attention on one object you should put the subject near by the cross of line. If you want have a picture of scenery you should try to put subject on the line.

Instructions

Exercise 4a: Rule of Thirds

Capture 3 Images adhering to the Rule of Thirds
Using 1 person
Using 3 persons
Using a scenery

When placing the image in your blog and your MS Word document; (see image) place one image with the Rule of Third lines visible and another without the lines side by side - left and right of each other

Put to use what you have learnt in the Zone system exercises here.

Your results must show evidence of knowledge and ability to use the Rule of Two-Thirds under the prescribed circumstances. Evidence of composition enhanced by proportional cropping is acceptable in order to heighten the dynamism or intensity of the picture. Students must showcase their knowledge on exposure using the zone system.

This is not a technical exercise; merely fulfilling the rule of thirds theory without capturing a well composed image with a strong point of interest would not be considered successful. You must capture a beautiful image by adhering to the rule of thirds.

(Check the resources out in the comment section for additional learning)

Exercise 4a: Rule of Thirds

 1 person（shutter speed 1/1000  f:8  ISO 800）

Using 3 persons（shutter speed 1/250  f:8  ISO 400）

Using a scenery（shutter speed 1/1600  f:8  ISO 800）

Feedback

Reflection

Experience -In fact I can't understand three person picture and I have no ideal I did right or wrong 

Observation -In this way my find say it is look better than before and it real help people pay attention on the object which I want them pay attention

Findings -When I take  scenery picture it is real better but I can't find a very nice scenery to shoot, but i believe that when i shoot scenery picture i can do better than before

Exercise 3: Zone System
Exercise 3b: The Ansel Adam's Shot

Lecture

when we want to take a picture with different zone , we can not decide how we set our shutter speed ,then we need focus one subject you very interest in , fllow that subject shutter speed,then can find a nice picture.

Instructions

Exercise 3: Zone System
Exercise 3b: The Ansel Adam's Shot

Choose an image worthy of being called an Ansel Adam's shot (Still Life, Landscape or Portrait). Sketch and write down the perceived zones in the desired image and indicate the ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed used. Identify the point of interest and state the exposure settings recommended by the camera light meter and your improved settings upon using the zone system.

Students must show evidence of using the Zone System. Student must produce 1 black & white image that captures depth and richness in tonal value by capturing High, Middle and Low zones while maintaining details (texture and tone) in the dark and light areas of the image.

Reflection

Experience -we went out and shoot and we can ask question when we shoot , that is a very good experience

Observation - when people chose different point to focus , the shutter speed will change but show from the picture is not that clear like we imagine

Findings -when i learn this i think i can take more zone picture.

Exercise 3: Zone System

Exercise 3a: High, Med and Low Zones

Lecture

For black and white photo, more zone show the picture better, and when we take the picture the camera always show the shutter speed a good time for take a clear picture but it maybe not the true speed , because the color will change. After this class i know how to take the real color picture and there are nine zones for a photo.

Instructions

Exercise 3: Zone System
Exercise 3a: High, Med and Low Zones
Having learned that the camera light meter is dumb, because it gives you an average or optimized (middle grey; zone 5) exposure irrespective of the subject matter, execute the plan below to prove the theory and record you thoughts on the matter in your eportfolio.
...

Exercise 3a: High, Med and Low Zones

1. Identify and capture three different subject/scenes comprising of High, Medium and Low Zones.

2. Take two images for each subject/scene; one exposure according to the camera's light meter; and the other according to the zone you believe the scene falls within.

3. Ensure that the subjects/scenes you choose for each zone area (High, Medium and Low) have a good range of tones within that zonal area.

All pictures must be in black and white. Use only sun light (direct or indirect) as source.

Exercise 3a（high）

PIC1. ISO:400  f:16  shutter speed 1/320

PIC2. ISO:400  f:5.6  shutter speed 1/1600

Exercise 3a（Med）

Reflection

Experience - when we take picture flow the shutter speed which the camera gives us, the picture will become clear but the color will change, if we want to find the real color we have to use zone

Observation - Find the right zone seem simple but hard, because sometime I change the shutter speed but the picture didn't show the right color

Findings - when we watch picture we need to find out what is real, sometime you cannot find the right color in a photo

Exercise 2c: ISO
2c.1) ISO effects exposure
2c.2) ISO effects image quality
Exercise 2b: Shutter Speed

Lecture

I learn ISO can also affect the light of the picture, and if I use lower ISO then my photo will become clearer and if ISO is high then there will be more noise in the picture. Today class we also learn about shutter speed, when we use fast shutter speed we can take picture like freeze, but 1/50s speed is only normal speed. If we want take the sharp of moving subject, we can set shutter speed slowly like 3-5s then we can get a flow picture.

Instructions
Exercise 2c: ISO
2c.1) ISO effects exposure
2c.2) ISO effects image quality...

Upon reading, viewing and discussing the material on ISO, we have come to agree that ISO effects exposure (Exercise 2c.1) and effects the quality of an image (Exercise 2c.2).
Your in-class task today, requires you to prove that:
2c.1) ISO effects exposure
2c.2) ISO effects the quality of an image by increasing the noise and grain of a picture.
Exercise 2b: Shutter Speed
We have already proven that shutter speed effects exposure (2a & 2c). Your task is to now prove that shutter speed has the ability to freeze fast moving objects and blur moving objects.
All images must be in black and white, using sun light. Ensure you are shooting at the highest quality JPEG.

Experience - Last week I didn't use the sun light, so I did wrong work at the beginning. But after I know this I take photo again and do It right. So i need to pay more attention on the class, obey all rules of class then I can take the nice photo.

Observation - Even a little set change can change a picture, so when I shoot photo I need pay more attention on it, and try to find all right set and take.

Findings - I learn how to change shutter speed , aperture and ISO, those three main set control the picture quality, even I cannot find a big different from picture , then the quality will change by use different aperture shutter speed and ISO
