I love how clear everything in this is, how you can see every tiny detail of his face. The way to focus is with the smoke drifting away you can almost see it moving, and the colors and lighting and composition, everything is perfect.

Berenice Abbott

I like Berenice Abbott's quote "Photography helps people to see" I think she is saying that people don't always see things for what they are and photographs makes it easier to see the things that are sometimes obvious but hard to see for what they are.

Abbott is famous for her scientific photos, her inventions and starting the "House of Photography" to promote and sell her inventions but due to poor marketing and the death of some of the employees the company was closed.

Camera Parts and History

The camera obscura effect is created by having a dark space with a tiny hole in one wall through that hole light is focused, the scene outside is projected.

The invention of high quality glass lens by Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens helped with creation of the modern camera.
The parts of the first were modern camera were: film, a glass lens, and a dark box.
Digital cameras use a lens which light passes through into the camera and exposes a film.
Auto mode and Program mode are very similar they are both point and shoot modes.
Portrait mode is used to blur out the background in the easiest way possible.
Sports mode is use to freeze motion, the camera using the quickest shutter speed.
This symbol means the flash is disabled. Photos can be made be dramatic with natural light.

This symbol means auto flash. If the camera thinks the photo needs more light the camera will shoot the flash.
If there is too much exposure in a photo the picture will be washed out if there is not enough exposure the picture will turn out too dark.
The systems of aperture, shutter, and film settings are all divided up into "stops".
The planet in the photograph is one stops brighter.
A longer shutter speed will make the photo brighter and a shorter shutter speed will make the photo darker and if it is an action photo will make the photo brighter.
Before the light reaches the film it must pass through a pupil like hole called the aperture or F-stop.
Smaller F-stop openings=larger openings which=more light.

I didn't really like @jakerrutherford's photos. They were good but I prefer pictures that are more artisy and detailed. I did really like the depth of his photos. He uses symmetry and the golden rule, and depth of field. 

Elements of Design

Patterns and Petition:  Emphasizing patterns can lead to stunning shots.
Symmetry: Symmetry can either make a shot or, without a good point of interest, can ruin a shot.
Texture: Using lighting and angles cleverly can make an image look almost 3D.
Lines: Use lines to draw attention to the main point of interest.
Color: Colors impact the mood of a shot, bright colors add energy while green and blues add a soothing touch.

First Day: Best and Worst.

Best.
I love the way the bokeh turned out in this. I think the angle looks good. Also the colors in this photo is the main reason I love it.

Worst.
I chose this picture as my worst because, though I like the idea, the focus is, as are many other things in this, is bad. I don't like angle and I don't like colors or composition.
