What the pros are doing - Repetition

The Multitude

Soldiers from the People's Liberation Army rehearse a musical drama titled "The Road of Revival" in Beijing. The show will be performed for the upcoming 60th anniversary of the communist revolution. I think this picture shows Repetition the best because of all this guys wearing the same color shirt and also having the same facial expresion.

Doe-Eyed

Lisa Simpson appears on television screens on a new Singapore Airlines Airbus A380 after its inaugural passenger flight from Singapore to Sydney, Australia. This picture shows Repetition the best because of all the rows of seats and also the same tv screen picture.

Up, Up, and Away

A balloonist makes the final checks on his balloon as he prepares for a 100-balloon mass take-off at dawn at the International Balloon Fiesta in Bristol, England. All the ballons on the picture are the same size different color but same shape this shows Repetition.

"Action and Emotion"

Here we have a lover of people who is bittersweet about her choose to donate blood to those in need. All the pain is worth it in the end.

"The Story"

Here we have a devoted student and perfectionest in his environment known as his study corner. His story could be the ups and downs of higher education and different environments he has had to adapt to.

"Filling the Frame"

Here is a future scientist with all her magical tools. There is a row of beakers on the table. In the back there is bookshelfs and a brick wall.

Contest preview

I think what makes this photo so powerful is because of the way everyone is in a circle united.

There are trees but only their reflection in the water as well as the shapes of the people.

The lighting is dark in the center and lighter on the corners. This photo would fall under framing and viewpoint because The feet are framing around the photo and its an overview.

Great Black and White Photographers part 3

The little boys in this picture caught my attention. The fact that the house behind them

is all beat up and dead looking makes them look almost lifeless. The body language

of the boys has a feeling of depression and stuggle. You really can not see the boy

in the back unless you pay attention so he kinda just blinds in with the surroundings.

I see two boys by a houset that has a big entrey door seems run down

I smell miles and miles of feilds and fresh grass.

I hear the chipping of wood and crickying of steps weakening.

I taste hot sticky spit wit a bit of dry mouth.
I feel the suns rays and the slow brizze with a few bugs around.

This photo caught my eye because of the ghost like person falling out the window. The fact that it looks like the little boy is just standing fearlessly while the figure is in the air.

I see a big building with tons of windows.

I smell tons of dirt and the smell of dry grass.

I hear children chatting and wispering.

I taste the curiousity of childrens life.

I feel a chill in the air and the cold brezz of spirits.

To share the wonderful photographs of Ralph Eugene Meatyard i would like to creat a poster

with some of his background history and some of his first and famous photographs.

Photo composition

The Rule of Thirds

Here the statue is in the far left section of the tic tac toe chart.

Viewpoint

By changing the point of view of this photo it makes the viewer see

the sky and the curve of the buildings instead of two parallel buildings.

Lines

This photo has a lot of lines, the roads are pathways, the skylines are

lines going up, even the trees have there trunks in lines.

depth

The thick street line going into a thinner one adds depth. Also the path and

sky meeting make the photo have a deeper feeling.

balance

The peoples shadows in this photo balance out the hand rails and the

buildings .

background

The background in this photo is very plain and simple.

Symmetry

The hotels door are being reflected with the water puddle

making the photo be symmetrical.

Cropping

The street signs usually get lost in a busy city with tons of
skylines but here they have been cropped to be the center of attention.

Framing

The Tree branches and the light on the street surround the

building in the middle like framing it.

Merging

In this photo the Bridge is getting in the way of the buildings causing to much collagen

Hurrican ike

This photo falls under the rule of thirds.
The man seems to be one of the subjects
the other is the splash of water. This
photo also has a simple background but yet is very eye catching. The sunshine behind the subject makes all the objects look shadowy almost.

This photo displays lines. The streets full of water make path ways in straight lines going up and down. They also gather at the end of the photo in a big pond like thing. This picture is also taken from a over view, changing the way people look at it or the view point. A ton of miles under water created into art make this photo beautiful.

My Pinhole Photo

1.) Look very closely at your "negative" and your "positive" image. Do you see some differences?

The positives have a few stripes threw it and the negative doesn't. Also the pictures morrior each other. The white spots show up black in the positive.

What happened with your "negative"?

negative---noting an image in which the brightness values of the subject are reproduced so that the lightest areas are shown as the darkest.

The reason why the photo is a negative is because is a tonal inversion of a positive image, in which light areas appear dark and vice versa.
