Final Exam Parts 2 And 3.

Gunman shot to death. Are drugs really worth losing your life?

A man being covered in flames. The results of protests

A beautiful rhino being taking away. An endangered species slowly losing hope.

In this photo there is repetition. The bikes all together in this photo create a pattern which you can clearly see. And the background helps you concentrate more on what the photo is really about.... The Bikes.

In this photo there is repetition also. The lines that guide the runners to the finish line represent repetition because of the lines being right next to each other.

In this photo we see leading lines. The way this photo was taken naturally attracts our eye towards the middle of the photo because of the walls being covered in leaves and the woman walking in it.

In this photo there is Symmetry and Patterns. The Circles act as a pattern and the moon being at the right place at the right time makes the last circle to complete the Olympic Games Logo.   

3 Pillars

1.  Aperture is one of the three pillars of photography, the other two being ISO and Shutter Speed. Without a doubt, it is the most talked about subject, because aperture either adds a dimension to a photograph by blurring the background, or magically brings everything in focus. In this article, I will try to explain everything I know about aperture in very simple language.

2. The iris of the lens that controls the size (diameter) of the aperture is called “diaphragm” in optics. The sole purpose of the diaphragm is to block or stop all light, with the exception of the light that goes through the aperture. In photography, aperture is expressed in f-numbers (for example f/5.6). These f-numbers that are known as “f-stops” are a way of describing the size of the aperture, or how open or closed the aperture is. A smaller f-stop means a larger aperture, while a larger f-stop means a smaller aperture. Most people find this awkward, since we are used to having larger numbers represent larger values, but not in this case. For example, f/1.4 is larger than f/2.0 and much larger than f/8.0.

The size of the circle represents the size of the lens aperture – the larger the f-number, the smaller the aperture.

3. A large f-number such as f/32, (which means a smaller aperture) will bring all foreground and background objects in focus, while a small f-number such as f/1.4 will isolate the foreground from the background by making the foreground objects sharp and the background blurry.
