-- White Balance --

                                                      ^^  Auto White Balance ( Inside )  ^^
                                                               ^^  Tungsten ( Inside )  ^^
                                                                ^^  Cloudy ( Inside )  ^^
                                                 ^^  Auto White Balance ( Outside )  ^^
                                                           ^^  Tungsten ( Outside )  ^^
                                                             ^^  Cloudy ( Outside )  ^^


I keep looking at the Inside difference of the Auto White Balance VS. Tungsten .( Inside )
I notice a very slight difference between the reds on my Toque.
the Cloudy White Balance looks more clear then the Auto White Balance, compare the both to the 'lighting' white balance ( Tungsten ) and there is a big difference. Tungsten has a Tint of Blue to it.

Assignment #5 Exposure Value



   Top ( EV: -2 )
 Middle ( EV: 0 )
Bottom ( EV: +2 )

What I noticed that the phone looked more clear in the EV: -1 Photo, or the darkness brought out the phones color. I chose my phone because of the green sticker i had recently put on it.it appeared more visible then the EV: 0 photo. The EV: +2 is to washed out in light-bright colors for you to read the name properly. with the dark color Exposure Value  you can see the white font on the black phone more, then the green and white sticker on the black phone. I never used Exposure Value because up until now I haven't fiddled around with my camera's and the settings they have. One small set of options to work with ( phone ), and more options (  Digital Camera ) once you get the steps of how to do a collage with your exposure value photos, its just like paint, ( Open, Copy, Paste x4 )

Panorama Landscape Photo

Panoramic photos are my favorite, because you can capture more of the scene. Rather then just a small rectangle of it, you get a long stretched out photo that makes the photo even more better and clear. Using my Cellphone does wonders because it has Guidelines, Anti-shake feature, Auto-contrast , Adjustable ISO, White Balance, Normal or Super-fine Quality.
 Some photos on my phone appear more vivid than my digital camera, but I guess thats the difference between Digital and Phone Cameras. The sensors and everything aren't the same, so that's another thing to take into account.

Random

I Found that the camera on my phone took Better Up-Close Photos then my Digital Camera. But that's perfectly fine. A lot easier to upload directly from phone.
4 mega-pixels apart. (16 vs 8)

Discovering "My" Type Of Photography


Second Photo in 'Images' List ( Search : Landscape )                        HD Landscape Backrounds.
Anything other then human photography and animals, I prefer Nature and its ever changing flow. Nothing good lasts forever, that is why cameras capture the 'awe' of the moment. It would be cool to travel around the world capturing the sunsets, and sunrises, the groups of animals at a watering hole in the distance, the choices of photos i will take will be any, because at any point and time i believe you(the photographer) get this feeling of " oh this is a great scene, lighting, everything is one harmonious flow, now is my chance to grasp this unique photo." Why unique? a picture is worth a 1,000 words, there wont ever be that 'moment' again. Pictures of Clouds, Sunsets, Sunrises, Sun & Clouds & Trees are my optimal choices.

Ups and Downs of Blogging

my fear of having a blog....is the Internet. once something goes live(Published) it can be viewed by anyone who searches it and as long as there aren't strict privacy settings. Other than it being on the Internet. my fear is editing. I know you shouldn't really edit your writing(On a Blog) but i find myself re-reading everything i write time and time again. After reading many books i find finding mistakes easier each time. maybe after the end of blogging this class i'll do something with the writing experience  i've done, especially with my other P.E. (Physical Education) Blog. Some experience is better than No experience. No previous experience in blogs, I don't read blogs. I read Forums/Community Forums (reviews)

About Me

     My Name is Jimmy, photos are a timestamp of what is happening and what could be happening. Nothing Gold lasts forever, meaning nothing good lasts forever which is why photography is a favorite hobby of mine. Getting the right lighting, making sure the photo is  straight, and taking multiple photos. One thing i hope to improve is photo editing. which would further enhance the photos I have taken.
Updated;
From taking this class, my photo taking skills have improved. the assignments and worksheets have been helpful for getting down the basics. I used to let my Camera do all the thinking with Setting: Auto    
But since we went out and took pictures and programed-our-own-settings ,
it was a lot better because I had always that Auto did a good job of picking the best scene. Fiddling around with the settings, Black and white, Sepia, Singling-out-Colors, Fish-Eye.
