mural project preview

1. I'd want to do people of Bowie showcasing classmates and staff, we could put different panels around the school with pictures of students studying or doing labs or interacting in the classroom, as well as different staff members at work.
2. we should use regular cameras to get quality images
3. I think it should be mainly showcased in the office or somewhere visitors could see the murals.

aperture, shutter speed, and ISO- what are they?

Aperture-

1. aperture is related to the human eye.
2. the smaller the aperture the less light is brought in, the larger the aperture the more light is able to come through.
3. the larger the aperture, or camera opening, the more blurred the background is because of Depth of Field, or the amount of the photo is brought into focus.

ANSEL ADAMS

Ansel Adams was born on February 20th, 1902, in San Francisco. In the earthquakes of 1906, he was thrown into a garden wall, which broke his nose and it was never properly fixed, making his nose one of his biggest defining features. He didn't attend an actual school as a child because he was sickly and was constantly dismissed from school because of bad behavior, so he had a private tutor as a child. He taught himself piano, and began experimenting with photography at the age of 14. He started using the darkroom at Best's Studio in Yosemite Valley, and eventually married the owners daughter, Virginia Best, who inherited the studio in 1935. He went on to photograph major events like World War II camps for a photo essay on injustice during war. Later in his life, his photographs, mostly nature, were shown in large museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
