rules of photography

Depth of Field (shallow and wide)- Whats in focus, when shallow only a bit is in focus, when wide a lot is in focus.

Light (angle and intensity)- Angle is about where is the light coming from, intensity is about how bright the light is. 

Shadows- the absence of light

Diffusion- decreasing the intensity of the  light.

Exposure- what your photo looks like? too light, too dark, or in between?

Shutter speed- Mirror inside the camera, how fast the mirror opens & closes. ( how fast the photo is being taken) 

ISO- sensor inside the camera. how sensitive the sensor is to light.  As you increase the ISO you increase the amount of grain on your photo.

2012

I really liked the colors on this photo, you can see everything , its very detailed, i like how the whole photo has something going on.

I loved how everything on the photo is still except the red light that has motion. I like how you can see the stars also.

This photo was my favorite because its simply amazing! You can see the stars in the back, you can see the earth and the eclipse. Very simple but it looks amazing.







Ive always been a fan of Calvin Harris ever since he was in the band, so of course i would chose him as doing the best in music in 2012. He still keeps his style and is pretty funny on twitter, other than that he is one of the best Dj/ Producers/ Singer out there. He doesn't only have one style, he likes different things which you can tell when you listen to all of his music. His new album, is just as great as his previous one.




I honestly thought this was one of the greatest movies of 2012. It was funny, some things you can relate to, and its fun just watching it. Its like if you're in the movie cause everything is so realistic. You forget its a movie cause thats definitely something anyone can do in their backyard. 

I don't know why this is even an issue, but of course i picked this as the biggest news in 2012. Mostly cause i find it amazing how many people don't want gay marriage, i don't see anything wrong with it, they're 2 people in love and i should never be illegal to marry the person you love. Considering Washington, Maine, and Maryland were the first to make Gay marriage legal, thats something we love to hear, especially these people who finally got to get married.
