Macro Photography

Macro photography is when you take an up close picture of an object that is not easily visible to the naked eye, and blow it up to be bigger and easier to see.
Some things to keep in mind when shooting a macro photo is, to keep your distance so the image is clear and there is no camera shadow. Depth of field is also a key factor in macro photography, because the focus on the object is most important.  Lighting is also important because when you are taking a photo up close the flash is useless so you need to make sure your subject has the right lighting.
10 things to macro photograph
1. dust
2. seeds
3.water drop
4. buttons
5. eyes
6. skin (goosebumps)
7. clothing
8. candy
9. plants
10. kids toys
the picture is of some sort of insect that is so small it has water drops that take up most of the face og the insect. The background is blurred to focus the viewer to the insect. The focus of the picture is shallow depth of field since the background is blurred.  The lighting is perfect for the image, there are no shadow and the image can easily be seen. 
This is a picture of a key chain soccer figure that's about an inch tall and the soccer ball is about half that size. The background of the picture is one of the art room tables but is blurred because I used a shallow depth of field. The focus of the the picture is the soccer ball which is illuminated by an artificial light.

I was given Emphasis which is a principle of design. Emphasis is the part of the design that catches the viewers attention. Usually the artist will make one area stand out by contrasting it with other areas. The area will be different in size, color, texture and shape. The picture above is an example of this because, the white color of the space around the fire alarm, makes the red of the alarms to catch the viewers attention.

PENGUIN        In the foreground of our box, you will see a single penguin next to a group of four other penguins.  In the middle ground of our box, you will see a polar bear to the right of the group of penguins, and an airplane that is hanging from the top of the box with fishing line.  In the background of our box, you will see two hot air balloons a large group of penguins and a man riding a horse.  One thing I would change about our box would be the fore ground because I the pictures we used weren't in the best place. Our strongest area of our box is the original background and the sky because they are the things that look the best.

History of Photography

The First Camera was important because the art has been around since the 5th century. but didn't come alive until the 11th century when a Iraqi scientist created the camera obscura, which didn't actually take pictures, but projected an image onto another surface. The First Permanent Images (Daguerreotype, Emulsion Plates, Dry Plates)  were important because it was the first time time pictures could be captured for more than a few seconds. Some types of processes actually lead to the advancement of cameras and allowed them to be smaller and faster.  Camera For Everyone  was important because George Eastman made camera film in the form of a roll. that allowed cameras to be small enough to be handheld. the film size also allowed for most people to be able to afford a camera. The Horrors of War  were important because it changed the way people viewed photography. More and more people were starting to steer away from portraits and move on to life as it happens. The W...
