Critique Me

Directions for Wed Blog: Critique Me

1. Choose your best image
2. Post it as a your blog post with a TITLE
3. Add a sentence saying why you chose this image.

Example 1:

"Yellow Flowers in Spring"

I chose this image because it has really vibrant colors and a strong balance between light and dark.

Example 2:

"Geodesic Explosion"

I chose this image because it demonstrates 3D tools in Illustrator, and has a lot complexity. I like the balance of shapes and blurs, and the color scheme is strong.

DPI 1 & 2 Pretest

01.   On cameras that allow interchangeable lenses, there is a metal ring on the front of the camera where the lens will attach. This is called the:

a.       shutter release

b.      lens ring mount

c.       LCD screen

d.      viewfinder

e.      camera body

02.   Aperture is defined as:

a.       the ratio of the focal width and angle

b.      the adjustable opening in the camera that limits the amount of light passing through the camera’s lens and onto the film/image sensor (measured in f-stops, see fig 1)

c.       the angular motion of light which acts as a prism dividing white into a series of colors from which we derive ROY G BV

d.      the space between images and is never measured in a-stops

e.      all of the above

03.   F-Stop refers to (see Fig 1):

a.       the ratio of the focal length of a lens to the diameter of its aperture

b.      the size of an image based on measurements called f’s

c.       the time it takes to click the shutter of a camera

d.      the length of time a shutter is open; the total exposure is proportional to the duration of light reaching the film/image sensor

e.      all of the above

04.   Shutter-speed is defined as:

a.       the adjustable opening in the camera that limits the amount of light passing through the camera’s lens and onto the film/image sensor

b.      the time it takes to click the shutter of a camera

c.       the length of time a shutter is open; the total exposure is proportional to the duration of light reaching the film/image sensor

d.      the protective coating on the image sensor

e.      all of the above

05.   ISO is defined as:

a.       the isometric image sensor

b.      the equidistant image sensor

c.       film speed measurement of a film’s sensitivity to light (mimicked by the image sensor)

d.      the pixel speed of the sensor

06.   True(A)/False(B): Adjusting the aperture of your camera will modify the depth of field

07.    True(A)/False(B):  The shutter is the part of your camera where  your images are stored.

08.     True(A)/False(B): When photographing with a  slow shutter, use a tripod to avoid blur.

09.    True(A)/False(B): Having a high ISO can result in a noisy image.  

10.    True(A)/False(B): Adjusting the white balance in your camera can change the temperature of your photo
