Earthrise

Image result for nasa images moon earth

1. I chose this image because it was a very cool picture that had a solid black background with a pop of color (earth).
2. On December 24, 1968, 75 hours after Apollo 8 took off from Cape Canaveral, to become the first manned mission to orbit the moon. Frank B, Jim L, Bill A, had entered lunar orbit on christmas eve, and at the beginning at the fourth of ten orbits, they were coming up from the side of the moon when they saw the earth peeking out from the darkness. And that is when they took this photo, the first colored photo, of our planet from space.
3. I learned that this image helped launch the environmental movement, and helped humans realize that they have it good living on earth compared to the cold and harsh cosmos.

Muhammad Ali vs. Sony Liston

Image
1. I picked this image because I have seen this image a lot before and the vibrant colors caught my eye. 2. I read that the photographer was working for sports illustrated and he was at this boxing match to take photos. He took a photo right after Ali won and he got the bet photo in the house. 3. In the video it aid the Ali was going against Sonny Lipton in a fight, everyone thought Sonny was going to win but, Ali defeated sonny. Everyone wanted them to rematch because they didn't believe Ali beat him, so they rematched and Ali won again using what people call the phantom punch and then the photographer shot his photo. 4.  5.

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
