Bill and Joe have been best friends since they were 18 and have gone skydiving every summer since then. I think it is time to retire their skydiving tradition.

Mary's friends think they are too old to swing but Mary obviously disagrees. Mary has broken a hip while swinging but that still hasn't stopped her from finding her inner child.

Arnold just got married to his fiancé of 33 years and invited everyone they know. No matter how old Arnold is, he can still pop and lock and break and jam.

Abandoned Theme Parks

1. I was kind of creeped out by these abandoned parks because all of the rides were all rusty and the statues of people were chipped and falling over in some of the theme parks. I honestly would never go there because I would get too creeped out. Especially in the parks in like Germany and japan because those look even older and dirtier and some look like a tornado hit it.
2. This a park in Japan that opened in 1988 and only stayed open for 10 years.
3. Other unusual places to photograph would be maybe an abandoned hotel, an abandoned asylum, a cemetery, an abandoned prison, abandoned grocery store.
4. abandoned asylum
5. Think it would be cool to photograph an abandoned asylum because it is really creepy and the photos would have a really creepy essence and it would just make the picture look so much cooler. I also think this would look cool because the darkness of it and being able to make up your own stories about what has happened and who the patients were.
6. I don't think anything could make me go to a place like this because it  is a little too creepy for me and I would get too scared. equipment you would need to photograph here would be a camera and maybe a night vision camera if you are planning to spend the night. Flying arrangements  depend on where it is other than that you can just drive there.

Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1. Challenges I encountered while trying to take these photos were that in most of the classrooms the students were just listening to the teachers and not dong anything so it was hard to get really interesting photos.
2. The technical aspects of taking the photos that I mostly payed attention to was holding the camera and making sure it is in focus and also getting good, interesting angles which wasn't very easy to do.
3. Things I would do differently would be going to different classrooms instead of just the core classes because those classes are boring. I would also change how I take the picture like last time I  just stood in the back of the room and took pictures and I feel like i would change that by getting closer to the students and hat they are doing to get a really good photo.
4. Things I would do the same would be that I wasn't shy to just walk in the room and take pictures and I would also move around the room to get pictures of different students.
5. The rule that I think would be the easiest to achieve would be leading lines or rule of thirds because those are some of the easiest ones and can sometimes be the most interesting.
6. The rule that I thing is the hardest to capture would either be framing or balance because fro framing, there isn't always something to frame your subject in the photo and I feel like you really have to look out for that because it can be very difficult. With balance, this would be hard because there also aren't really a lot of things that can balance each other out in the photo  without having a lot of distracting things in the background.
7. I am not really not clear on any of the rules.

Academic Shoot

Africa

1. I thought this article was very interesting because I have never knew that some one would wait up to 2-3 weeks just to take a couple of photos. I also really liked his concept of getting know how the animals acted round him and waiting to get the perfect shot and how he wanted the sky and the background to be in it instead of just focusing on the animal itself. These photos are very interesting because the animals look like they are photo shopped but that is just how they were positioned naturally.
2. 
3. This photo is my favorite of Nick Brandt's because it shows the beauty of the animal and how big they really are compared to a human. I also really like this photo because I love how the sky is the background and the elephant is looking down to the camera almost. Another reason it is my favorite is because elephants are my favorite animal and I really like how the photo shows the detail and beauty of the elephant.
4. The rule of photography that is evident tin this photo is simplicity because it is just one elephant just standing there and a plain sky as the background with no movement, just stillness.
5. The camera and lens that Nick Brandt uses are a Pentax 6711 with only two fixed lenses. this is important because he does not like to use a zoom lens, he likes to create a collection of panoramas of the animals and subjects of his photos.
6. His reason for taking these photos is to remember that the animals of Africa are being killed in massive amounts every year to provide food for poor people.
7. His hope for taking these photos is to hopefully persuade people to donate to charities that help protect the animals and the habitat around them.
8. "In 1995 I first drove the main road from Nairobi down through southern Kenya to Arusha in northern Tanzania. Along the way, in completely unprotected areas, I saw giraffes, zebras, gazelles, impalas, wildebeest."

Aperture, Shutter Speed, And ISO

F2.8

F16

1. The part of the body we should closely relate aperture is your pupil. The is related to aperture because a large pupil size means a large aperture and a small pupil size means a smaller aperture.

2. The smaller the aperture, the larger the f-number, The larger the aperture, the smaller the f-number

3.Aperture impacts depth of field because if you have a smaller aperture number, the more blurry the background of the picture will be. And with a larger aperture number, the background will be more focused.

Shutter Speed

fast

slow

1. If I were to shoot at Bulldogs and Hotdogs, the shutter speed I would use would be....

a) booth in middle of yard near tree: slow

b) food booth outside: slow

c) stars performance: high

d) students dancing near center of courtyard: high

e) people streaming in from doors: high

f) basketball booth where students are shooting basketballs: high

2. Three setting on the camera for shutter speed are:

"Aperture priority"- sets camera aperture

"shutter priority"- sets cameras shutter speed

"manual"- set both aperture and shutter speed manually.

ISO

200

3200

1. Advantages of shooting with a high Iso at a sport event at night is that you can still see everything because the camera will be more sensitive to light.

2. The author suggests to use the lowest ISO when you have more light.

3. The author suggests using a higher ISO when you are in a dark place (like the sports event at night)

DSLR Camera

Aperture settings: 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22

shutter speed settings: 1 SEC, 1/60 SEC, 1/4000 SEC

ISO settings: 100, 200,400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12800, 25600
