New Year Project

2. Print or upload to journal/blog.
3. Comment why it is your favourite.
4. Explain what the event is.
5. How does the image document the event? How does the image tell the story?

3. I choose this picture because a pelican is pitiful and it suffers from heavy oil spill.

4. In June 4th, on East Grand Terre Island, La. A pelican coated in heavy oil wallows in the surf and oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster came ashore in large volumes across souther Louisiana.

5. I think a pelican cry because he has no food and no place to live also cannot fly because oil press him so much.

6. A pelican

7. Waves are repetition. 

 

Shutter (Define, Pic)

1. Shutter-  is a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light-sensitive electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene.
2. Shutter Speeds (write out the speeds and explain what they mean)- is a common term used to discuss exposure time, the effective length of time a camera's shutter is open.
3. Shutter Priority- refers to a setting on some cameras that allows the user to choose a specific shutter speed while the camera adjusts the aperture to ensure correct exposure.
4. Exposure & how to set your camera for a good exposure- is the total amount of light allowed to fall on the photographic medium (photographic film or image sensor) during the process of taking a photograph.
5. Bulb-  is a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf bases.
6. Cable Release- are the mechanisms attached to cameras that allow photographers to snap photos from a distance.
7. Tripod-  is used to stabilize and elevate a camera, or to support flashes or other photographic equipment.
8. Light Meter- is a device used to measure the amount of light. In photography, a light meter is often used to determine the proper exposure for a photograph.
9. Bracketing-  is the general technique of taking several shots of the same subject using different or the same camera settings.
10. Hot Shoe-  is a mounting point on the top of a camera to attach a flash unit.

Pinhole Camera

A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens and with a single small aperture — effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box.

A pinhole camera works on a simple principle. Imagine you are inside a large, dark, room-sized box containing a pinhole.
