HDR Photography Intro

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image?

You would need to change the exposure and the shutter speed multiple times.

2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image?

A tripod.

 3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image?

To take a very high quality picture that really emphasizes the lights and colors in the picture.

4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might not have seen with just one photo?

The colors in the photo will be a lot brighter, and there would be a lot more colors in the photo that a camera would not be able to catch by itself normally.

Portfolio Analysis

1.
a. Alyssa Schukar
b. Stories, human life
c. Judges didn't think that the photographer got up close and personal with the subjects, or they thought that the pictures were too dark in mood, or they just thought the pictures were boring.
d. They liked the action in the shots and the backgrounds and lighting.
e. I liked the photographer's photos but none of them really stuck out to me, they all seemed pretty boring and and not unique.

a. Jordan Murph
b. Mostly sports
c. Judges didn't like that some of the pictures didn't really tell a story, and some kind of just confused the viewer. They also didn't like how some of them were obviously posed.
d. They really liked the photographer's use of color and composition through the whole thing.
e. I liked a lot of the photos! The colors were all pretty cool and the composition was interesting in all of the photos.

a. Melissa Golden
b. Stories
c. Judges thought that most of the pictures were pretty boring and didn't really look at them for more than a second because they just didn't catch the eye. They didn't like how some of the pictures were out of focus or blurry, or how some of the photos had elements that they didn't think were very necessary.
d. The judges liked a lot of the portraits because they got up close, and even though they told common stories they still thought they had a lot of meaning.
e. Some of the photos were interesting, some were not. Like the judges I thought that the portraits were really interesting.

2.
a. The judges thought that all of the composition and ideas in the photos were very unique and interesting, and they liked how the photographer got very close to the action.
b. Personally, I thought that the way that the photographer got close to the action was a strength, and like the judges, I thought that over-photoshopping was a weakness.

3. The judges basically pick their favorite portfolios and pay most attention to what they thought what was the worst photos in the portfolios were, and judged them from there. They also payed close attention to how the photographers edited their pictures.


- Part 2 -


1. One photo that I agreed with the judges on was the photo in "No Pro/No College" of the tennis player in red with their hands up dropping the racket. I agreed when they said that even though the photo didn't have the player's face, the photo was still amazing and very unique.
2. One photo I didn't agree with the judges with was the photo of the people breaking through the USGA barrier and looking through the holes. The judges thought it was boring, and could've been better if it had been cropped differently, but I thought that the picture was fine and interesting as it was, and I liked the colors and lines of the photo.
