In this picture "The Rhino"  the rule of photography use was the rule of threads the photographer use a view point from the floor to take this picture and make it look like this 

Part 3

This picture have symmetry and pattern, why? because shrubs have the same pattern step by step, This picture It also contain Framing if you zoom in this picture you would be able to how the shrubs fame the girl walking forward the photographer , and its Balance, because in each side of the the picture you can see the same amount of space 

this picture contains the rule of  Background , Because the sun in the background  behind the subject it merge with the subject making it look like if president Obama is holding the sun with his hands.

Tip #1:
Bring Something to Focus On The problem that I saw when I looked through my viewfinder was that I didn't have anything to focus on aside from the items in the far distance. This of course would make for a perfectly blurry photo of me, which isn't at all what I wanted.

 Tip #2: Creating a theme:
 Two items make a photo, the subject and backdrop, and I think that they are equally important. This is where your lens choice comes into play. A long lens allows you to send the back ground out of focus and narrow down the amount of background in the photo. A wide lens keeps the background in focus and allows it to be a key part of the image. Either way the background is playing a big factor by being a key element or by not distracting from the subject.

Tip #3:
 A mirror or some other reflective surface offers an even easier way to take a self-portrait. In most cases, the camera will be included in the scene (but this can help make a statement about your enthusiasm for photography). You can use your camera as a prop, and hold it away from your face. When you photograph into a mirror, be sure your reflection is in focus. An infrared autofocusing system will usually focus on glass if it's aimed into a mirror, and will focus at infinity if aimed at an angle. You might try focusing at an object that's the same distance as the distance from the camera to the reflection, lock in the focus, recompose the image to include yourself, and take the picture.

The Three Pillars of Exposure: Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed .

The Three Pillars of Exposure: Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed

Aperture:

Aperture setting F2.8

Aperture setting F16

1. What part of the body should we closely relate aperture?
I think that the body we should closely relate aperture is the part that controls the aperture. 
2. Finish this sentence - the smaller the Aperture large f-number, the higher the Aperture small f-number. 
3. In your own words tell me how aperture impacts Depth of Field? 
aperture impacts Depth of Field by the f-number which means the larger the f-number is the more blurry the background would be. if the f-number is smaller then it will be less of the blurry in the background and the more sharp edges their will be

Shutter Speed:

Shutter Speed 

Slow Shutter Speed

At the beginning while the sun is still partially up and the courtyard has reasonable light

• a.) the dunking booth- i would choose fast  
•  b.) the food eating contest-i would choose fast   
• c.) the rock climbing wall-i would choose fast   
•  d.) someone working at a booth- i would choose medium
•  e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- i would choose slow 
•  f.) the Diamonds performance.- i would choose medium 

Towards the end when there is no sun and it is dark so there is not enough light to see from one end of the courtyard to the other.

•  a.) the dunking booth- i would choose fast   
• b.) the food eating contest- i would choose fast  
•  c.) the rock climbing wall- i would choose medium  
•  d.) someone working at a booth- i would choose medium   
• e.) the DJ/MC working at the middle of the circle- i would choose slow  
•  f.) the Diamonds performance- i would choose slow 

ISO:

ISO 200

ISO 3200

1. What are the advantages of shooting with a higher ISO setting at a sporting event like a night football game?

A higher ISO number increases the sensitivity of your camera. That meaning that you would be able to get a better look at the football game better.

2. What suggestions did the author make about using a low ISO?

 Using low ISO you can’t always get a good picture .

 3. What suggestions did the author make about using a high ISO?

Using high ISO you would be able to get a good photo specially in the light

Now it’s your turn - tell me which ones look the best for:

F4-      you can’t see the background because of how blurry it is

F5.6-   you still can’t see the background that good 

F8-      you can see the background better but it’s getting dark

F11-    you can see the background but the photo is really dark

F16 -   same here it’s getting to dark

F22-    now you can’t see the photo at all

The reason I pecked  the theme of fast and furious is because one of the main character Paul Walker died a few days ago in an tragic accident  and I wanted to make a tribute to him for his talent and for being a great artist.
