Abandoned Theme Parks

1. The amusement park that made me want to visit and take my camera along was the "Land of OZ" theme park in Beach Mountain, North Carolina. What made me want to go there was the eerie feel that the photos would give when you took them. Also because there were multiple settings that you could visit, and take pictures of.

Lake Baikal Ice

5. I think that it would be fun to document Northern Lake Baikal in Russia because in the winter time this clear freshwater lake freezes over and shards of turquoise ice is formed on the top of the water. What interests me about this place is that since the water is so clear when it freezes over you can see the frozen ice shards quite far down in the water which give a good perception of how deep it is, also you can walk and drive across the ice during the winter which can result in some nice wide shots of the entire lake. The type of photos I would like to take there is pictures of the ice crystals forming at the top.
6. To take photos of the Northern Lake Baikal in Russia, you would need a neutral density gradient filter to get the wide view range of the entire landscape. It will be easy to fly there, and you will probably have to go to a small, old village called Nizhneangarsk, and from there travel to the lake. Also you have to be aware of bears, but they will usually stay away from humans, and in the summer watch out for wave because they can get up to 3meters high and it is really cold.

Africa

Image
1. When I was looking at the photos of African wildlife I noticed that all of the animals in the pictures looked really majestic and fierce. These images also show the real beauty of all these creatures in their natural habitat. As well as showing what life is like for those animals daily, catching and eating their prey, and taking care of their young. 2.  3. This is my favorite photo by Nick Brandt, because the background is nice, dark, and stormy, which makes the zebra in the middle of the frame pop. 4. The photography rules that are used in this photo is simplicity, because the plain, solid background brings the attention to the patterned zebra. 5. Nick Brandt uses the 67 shutter lens when he is taking photos, although it is not a high tech type of lens, he likes to use it because of the way the photos look when he looks at them through the ground glass. 6. Photography was merely the best medium for him to express his feelings about animals, and the natural world. 7.

The Camera

1. The "Camera Obscura" effect is when light is coming from the camera and projecting on to the wall in a dark room. It is created when you are in a dark room and there is a small hole in one wall where it is focused and the outside scene is projected upside-down on the other wall. 2. In the 17th century the high quality glass lens helped man come one step closer to creating the modern camera. 3. The parts of the modern camera were a glass lens, a dark box, and a film. 4. modern digital cameras and Niepce's camera both allow light too pass through the lens, into the camera, and expose the film which both result in a picture. 5.  digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. 6. On auto mode t he camera will completely control flash and exposure. 7. On program mode you just point and shoot. 8. On sports mode the  camera will use the highest shutter speed possible to freeze motion. 9. On manual mode  the photographer has to set both the s

Magazines Part 2

1) Image Based- Image Based magazine covers are the most common because they have less objects in it which make it more clean/ simple and less busy looking. Celebrities or fashion usually take place on the cover, and side shots can cause a more dramatic feel to the photo. 2) Illustration Based- Illustration Based magazines are not so common now as they used to be in the mid 20's and 30's but are now used more for comedic effect, or to present something funny. The magazine covers that use illustrated covers are independently published magazines that do not rely on newsstand sales. Also the illustration can draw eyes to it if it is drawn properly but, at the same time it is risky. 3) Type Based- Type Based magazines are also not very common but more common than the illustration magazines. The mostly have big letters and the headlines are usually something interesting or shocking.They are usually used by published work instead of newsstands,  if so less people will buy the pap
