Composition and Photographic Techniques

My Examples:

2 Examples from the internet:

Artistic Composition and Technique: The arrangement of visual elements or things put together to make a work of art.

Rule of Thirds: Techniques used to locate saddle points in the picture, like putting a tic-tac-toe grid over the picture. When the main subject in the photo is one third out of the center

Points of Power: Points at which lines intersect in a photo.

The Golden Rule: Basically putting the main image in the picture a third of the way across from the frame instead of the center.

Vertical Lines: Lines that go across from angle to angle on a picture. When the picture is longer in heighth wise.

Horizontal Lines: The normal orientation when you look through the camera viewfinder, lines that go straight across a picture. When the picture is longer in width wise.

Oblique Lines: Lines that are neither perpendicular or parallel.

Curved Lines: They appeal to nature photos. Lines that have curves in them for example, S-curves are when they is something winding in the picture like a river.

Terry Fox Run September 25th

The Terry Fox run went pretty well this year. The weather was excellent and a lot of kids participated. The school raised enough money that some people are dying their hair, shaving their heads or shaving their legs.

Terry Fox

Terry Fox was a young athletic boy who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 18. He made a pledge to run around Canada and raise money for cancer, after being in the hospital and realizing how big the effect cancer has on so many people. At the age of 22 he began his marathon called "Marathon of Hope". After being part way done, his cancer came back and spread to his lungs, causing him to stop running. Soon after that he passed away. However his memory lasts forever, and to this day schools around Canada are still doing his run.

Digital Tools

In this picture I gave it a glass effect, to make it look like your looking through glass or even at a painting.

For this photo of the drink machines, all I did was change the contrast to make it darker.

For this first photo of the parking lot, I added brightness to it and added kind of a purple shadow at the top.

Working With Photoshop

Photoshop with Omorean's Austrailia pictures. I straightend and cropped both of them. Also I adjusted the colour contrast on the racecar, and made it a bit more red. On the landscape I coloured out blotches and made them blend in with the rest of the picture.

What Digital Media Means To Me

Digital Media is a way of expressing yourself in a digital format. It means your given a way to be creative while using a computer. You can upload and make things on the computer while using photography, video, computer animation , writing etc. Digital Media is when you create a picture and change it to make it look the way you want it to look. Digital Media is also a form of entertainment, being able to watch films or listen to music, without Digital Media most technology wouldn't be here.
3 examples of digital media are :
cellphone -a cellphone is a device that allows you call and speak to people or send written messages via text .

computer -a computer is a programmable machine that contains the internet, which you can look up anything in the world on.
video game system-a console that you play interactive games of any sort on.
