This is a picture taken by Burt Glinn. It is a celebration of a football team winning a game. The players are all celebrating together, but the main focus is of one football player with a cheerleader hugging each other, about to kiss.

This is a photograph taken by Bruno Barbey. It shows a couple hugging with the city of Shanghai in the background. The couple is the main focus of the camera, and the city and water are both blurry in the background.

A man and a woman are looking through a binoculars. We have a vertical line that divides the photograph in halves. That goes from up above following the line of the man's arm and the woman's shoulder/ back. The horizontal line divides the photo in two other halves, and goes from the right shoulder of the man, following the arm, and towards the woman's head and her hands holding the binoculars. So we have 4 squares as composition of the photo, which is a square too.

This is an image of an old woman with a toddler sitting in front of her. The old woman's face is mainly in focus while the background is very blurry and even the little boy's face. The right sides of both of their faces are in the light, while there is dark shadow on the left sides of their faces, divided by their noses. There is a strong vertical line through the center of the woman's nose and another strong horizontal line at the top of the boys head, underneath the woman's chin.

This image shows a man walking in the center of a road that has imprints of train tracks. The man is in a suit and hat carrying a basket. On either sides of the road, there is rubbish and ruins of buildings, as if he is walking through a war zone. There is a very strong vertical line going through the man in the center of the picture. There is also two vertical lines on either side of him lining the street. 4 diagonal lines of the train tracks point the viewer in the direction of the man's path. There is also a strong horizontal line above the roof of the buildings, and another one where the road seems to be ending in the distance.

I have some pictures by George Roger

In this picture I see a man talking in a phone booth in a bombed out neighborhood after a Nazi bombing raid during WWII. There is debris all over the ground and all of the glass that used to be in the windows is now gone. The lines I see in this picture include vertical lines on both sides of the phone booth and one on the gutter just to the left of the phone booth, horizontal lines at the top of the phone booth and the bottom of the mans coat, and even a diagonal line that follows the fence on the left.


Here is an American soldier during WWII in Italy sitting on a wall while smoking a cigarette. The lines that I see in this picture include vertical lines on the mans back and by his foot that's on the wall, horizontal lines at the top of his head, the top of his knee, and the bottom of his foot, and there are diagonal lines that follow the top parts of the wall

 HQ vs RAW vs RAW+HQ

I took three photos using different settings on my Olympus E500, going from lowest quality to highest. The Olympus model I have is somewhat old and didn't have the same settings available that the professor asked for, but I tried a couple different ones and these seemed to be the closest to what he was looking for.

The first is framed slightly differently from the second and third, but if you look at these photos on a large screen instead of just the thumbnails there is a very clear difference in resolution between them. There was no editing done on these.

When using a digital camera one has three options to save a photo, RAW, JPEG, or TIF.

1.     RAW: Claimed to be the best way to save a photo. For three reasons,

a.     Using RAW one can adjust the white balnce of a photo.

b.     Using RAW one has more freedom to adjust exposure and colors. JPEG you cannot change.

c.     Using RAW there is mire room to make general color adjustments.

2.     JPEG : is  a compresed version of a photo and is the most commonly used format, but there is little adjusting to be done to the photo after it is taken compared to a RAW image.

3.     TIFF : standard for publising and printing photos. A TIFF file can be compresed and not lose any quality buti it is larger than a JPEG file.

 

CCD (Charged Coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) are two kinds of sensors cameras can use. These take the light within the picture and transform it through electrical sensors to present an image on the camera. CCD’s use the light and pass is through the chip and is processed and displayed. CMOS use a chip in addition to transistors to process the image. CMOS use less power and are much cheaper.

These are two pictures I took on my iPhone in Mykonos Greece this weekend. I am still waiting for my camera to come through customs!
