Why did you select this image?
Because when I saw it I wanted to instantly change it to make it look really good.
How would you describe your photographers style? (in your own words)
He is a old time photographer which his pictures are only in black and white which I like because it gives him the advantage of changing the picture better then how the picture can look easier sense its just black and white.

After researching the photographer what have you found most interesting about his/her photographic style or image production? His style is all like classy and exciting they all just make me see that even though he used the same kind of format kind of for them but they are differently unique.

How are you planning to recreate your photographers image?
I am planning to recreate this photo by having a different background for this one because I am going to have mountains instead of a city and the window and the guy with the drink will still be their. But the rest of the picture will look different in a way of showing it.

What images do you anticipate taking to recreated this image? (i.e. describe the shots you intend to take to reach your final goal) I think I have a few pictures to take over break because I have the perfect person for the picture to make it look like it’s the same type of person for the job.



When you complete worksheet and discuss ideas with you may begin  creating Power Point presentation.

Texture contact sheet!

aperture and shutter speed

In optics an aperture is a hole or an opening through which light travels. More specifically, the aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane. The aperture determines how collimated the admitted rays are, which is of great importance for the appearance at the image plane. If an aperture is narrow, then highly collimated rays are admitted, resulting in a sharp focus at the image plane. If an aperture is wide, then uncollimated rays are admitted, resulting in a sharp focus only for rays with a certain focal length. This means that a wide aperture results in an image that is sharp around what the lens is focusing on and blurred otherwise. The aperture also determines how many of the incoming rays are actually admitted and thus how much light reaches the image plane (the narrower the aperture, the darker the image for a given exposure time).


In photography, shutter speed is a common term used to discuss exposure time, the effective length of time a camera's shutter is open.The total exposure is proportional to this exposure time, or duration of light reaching the film or image sensor.

this picture appeals to me by its form of area and precision of the photo was takin at the right moment and this took skill in order to take a photo like this takes more time then anyone can think of.
i would like to recreate this effect because to do this it would take more time and you would have to risk your camera in order to do it.

this picture appeals to me because it  was takin really really close up and it was probably hard to keep the camera still in order to take the picture and the closeness is out of this world this looks really real.
i would be able to recreate this picture but it wouldent look the same like it did like this because of how it is so close up i wouldent be able to get this close up.

this picture appeals to me is that is i going by fast it is showing how the real life cars are going by fast and over time if the cars are going fast enough the cars actually look like this.
i would like to remake this because of how it is easly made but the same way isnt easy.
