Reaction Paper Museum Visit. Last month I had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Modern Art for the first time in New York City. I really wanted to go there mostly because of the paint by Vincent Van Gogh The Starry Night. It was interesting to see a lot of art work from different incredible artists around the world. The visit to MOMA was a good experience for me because it was the first time to see other people work in a museum and I learned a lot about other artist I did not know. The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh I think was one of the most famous painting in the whole museum. I was really excited to see this painting because one of my best friend who lives in Maryland was always telling me she wanted to come to New York City to go and see that painting. At first I was expecting to see a huge painting, but then when I saw the painting in person it was actually sma...
Reaction Paper No. 2 Gallery Visit Last week I had the opportunity of visit the art Gallery where it has been exhibiting the professors' art work. It was really interesting because it was the first time I saw some of the work my professors do. I saw two art pieces of my professor from ART130 professor Soterakis her work is truly amazing the way she used collage and oil paint into her work was really fascinating. Also I got to see one photograph by Professor Lopez and it was really touching for me because he is one of the reasons I decided to take photography as my major I really loved seeing his work. All the art pieces in the gallery were fantastic and some of the a little bit expensive. I had the chance to see how much it costs some of the pieces and I was somehow amazed by how much money some pieces cost, but looking at the quality of the art piece that was done...
In my Digital Materials and Processes class I had to do an assignment about Digital Noise. Noise is created by using high ISO and slow shutter speed, so for this assignment I had to shot 4 different images with different ISO. For the first image I shot I used an ISO of 100, for the second one an ISO of 400, for the third one ISO set in 800 and for the last one the highest ISO in my camera, but actually I could not use the highest ISO in my camera because the image was too white so I used a 3200 ISO. At first sight one cannot differentiate the Noise in the images, but if one look closely and look at the shadows of the images in two images the shadows look grainy and that is because of the Noise created by the high ISO. Also, another difference I noticed is that the file sizes of the images were different even though I shot all my images in RAW, so I asked myself what was the cause of that and the reason why some of the images had a bigger...
Last Saturday one of my friends and I went to Port Jefferson to shoot some photographs for a project while walking in the village I find this place and I took a picture because of how the door looks like kind of mysterious. Also, I liked how in the left part of the image one can see a beautiful white door, but in then there is this house with this old door and it looks really interesting for me.
Reaction Paper: Studio Visit On Monday October the 23rd I had the opportunity to visit for the first time a photographer's studio. At first the studio was not actually what I had expected because I thought it will be bigger and with more equipment. The photographer that we visited was Jim Lennon I find out how great photographer he was. It was really interesting to hear what he was telling the class about how to run a studio and how much it costs to run one. One of the things that captivated more my attention was wen he said that before going to a meeting with the company he was working with for him was really helpful to do some research about that company. I find that really interesting because I thought that he was right showing how much of a professional you are and that you really are interested in working with a company it's can show a great impression in other people when you know about what this company is about and what they do. ...
On Saturday I had the great opportunity to go for the first time to the Empire State Building the view was incredible I shoot as many pictures as I could, but the first two were my favorites. I just really loved how the buildings look and to see everything symmetrical was really interesting. For the third image I liked the composition a lot and how the image turned out to look pretty good. I like the sunset and the contrast of the bridge and the ship at the left this image and I think it works really well.
Last week in the visit to the library I chose this book to read it because it seem pretty interesting. I actually did not have the chance to see a photographer's work in a book so for me reading this book and looking to the photographs was very exciting. The name of this book Japan 1945 and the author is Joe O'Donnell. This book is about how Japan was after the Pacific War. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Fukuoka, and Sasebo where the main cities he photographed in Japan. After reading this book I was shook of how Japanese people were leaving after the war. One of the photographs below shows a young boy carrying his death little brother the power that this image portray it really fascinating. Looking at the other photograph for me there are no words to explain how I felt after seeing this image. It was really hard to image the pain and suffering this fourteen young boy was passing. Of all the photographs I saw in the book these t...
In my Digital Materials & Processes class, I'm shooting an assignment related with Color of Light. For this assignment I have to shoot different images in different situations and change the white balance to auto, daylight, and light specific. For these three images I shoot my subject under a fluorescent lamp and changing my white balance for auto(First image), daylight(second image), and specific light that was fluorescent(third image). What I find in changing the white balance for these three photographs, is that sometimes even though we don't care about white balance and always set the camera in auto I think that for some situations the white balance in auto it's not going to work out, so it's really helpful to learn how to set different kinds of white balance in a camera. Looking at these three images I realized that what works better is white balanc...
This photograph by Maureen Drennan caught my attention in the art gallery of all the other photographs because I felt he was seeing through me. The tittle of this photograph is "Something I Need I to Tell You," so I thought, "he is trying to tell me something or I am the one that need to say something." I kept looking at this photograph so many times because for me was really fascinating the composition of this image. In the art gallery there were great pieces of work from Maureen Drennan and her husband it was really interesting to see both of the work together. Actually, I remember something she said that was that even though you might leave with someone for so many years, but sometimes you actually do not know that person that well as you thought you were. Seeing both of their work together, made realize that they were totally different, but they complement each other work so well that was really fa...
In my Digital Material and Processes class I had to shoot this assignment where I had to use a Gray Card for exposure control and metering. I find this assignment very interesting because while shooting it I could see the difference between using a gray card to meter a subject so I could know what exposure to use. Even thought I used the same ISO, F-stop, and Shutter Speed for these two images they came to look very different. In the first picture where I did not use the gray card the image was sharp, but I could not see a lot of details in her face, while in the second picture where I used the gray card her face looked totally different it had more light and I could see a lot of details in her face. I had a lot of fun shooting this assignment and I learned how to use white balance and metering my subjects and how a gray card can be of so much help while shooting in sunlight.
