Aperture

aperture, you can call it the eye pupil of the camera so to speak. it controls how wide your image can be or if you want the depth of field to you image. the function Macro has almost the same function as the aperture. even though, macro only does one of the two things that aperture did. so if you are using aperture to add the depth of field to your image, you image will turn out looking kind of deep into you subject or just the background, but the image will not cover more of the surrounding while if you are changing the f-stop to f2 then the pupil will expand to cover more of the surrounding but it will not sees the subject thats really far away. for example, the picture about the flower is the one with the big f-stop because the flower is the only important emphasis in this picture that's why it doesnt need the see more surrounding. the second image uses smaller f-stop because we don't want to capture one building specificly, we want to capture the whole part of that city and smaller f-stop will expand the pupil more and that's why it can capture more surrounding.

FLASH

ISO, ISO is how fast the light gets process in the camera. in other word, it means that the more or less light you going to allow going in your picture persay. then you used flash, you kind of freeze the moment and it scared your subject. also, it darken the brackground, while in ISO, you can allow how much light into the picture and how fast the picture flow is going to be. i would pick ISO over flashing because flashing gives my emphasis red eyes and it produce an ugly lighting and darken the background so i do not want that happen in my picture. you have to hold the camera still and your emphasis have to stay still the whole time while the picture is taken because one slightly movement will blur out your picture.

Flash

The pros of flashing are:
1. it's add light to the scene
2. and it's freeze time, so it can eliminate blur
Cons of flashing:
1. it disturb the subject.
2. it creates an ugly lighting situation.
3. gives ur subject red eyes.
4. and it make te background dark.
it is a perfect time to use flash when your subject is in the light. what the flash will do is it will add light to your subject's face or any of the shadow part. the flash should not be use when you are trying to capture the rich color of the night like the example picture i have on top. it is an ideal situation when you do not need to use flash, because if you do, the rich dark color will be gone and it will add an ugly bright situation.

Metering

metering is the tool in your camera that measure the light of the surrounding and to see if the camera will focus on the object that bright or the object that aren't bright. as u can see, in image one, the camera measures my partner's face and use that as the focus of the picture, that's why everything else is visible and bright. while in image two, the camera focus on the computer screen so the screen is it's emphasis and the scrren itself already bright so everything else around it is dark because the camera didn't let much light into the pic. this will help me in the future when i want to take a picture of an object and i it is in the dark, and by not using flash i can still see the object in my pic.

Surrealism " My Fantasia"

in my Fantasia.... the only entrance is you have to go through my big closet at home (just like the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia") Once you pass the closet full of coats and clothes, you will end up on a dock made by everyone's quilts. Infront of me are the cliffs which leads to somewhere far away but it's covered with mist. that represent that my future is still undiscover. the dock made my other's quilt can represent that whereever i go, there will be peoples who will back me up and support me. the killer whale in my picture represent wisdom, that whale will guide me down my path to my undicover future. the floating island represent my family, doesnt matter where i go, they will be looking over me and will always be there for me whenever i need them. the lighthouse represent the light source that will break the mist and open the way to my bright future. the dark sky gives the audience the stormy feeling because my path to a better future aren't easy and i will need all the helps i can get from everyone around me.
