learning log #2 – Natural Light and portraits

Aaron cruz

Here are my top three for this openlab photos. it was a challenge due the weather some what cloudy and not so sunny for most of the time. but with the help of those reflectors i got kinda of a gold glow on the the second picture which bring him more out. in my third photos i felt was the most powerful one of them all, using the rule of third and having the white part of the reflector to add a bit of white light to his left side gave the image more flat but it worked for me.

learning log#1 light and shadows

  

I think these were my best. with the use of light and shadows i try to frames it using rule of thirds and using a focus point. but adding depth was i bit tricky just trying to understand aperture due to the brightness and low light. i try not to ask her to do thing and went alone and were very spontaneous.

The Terror of war (Napalm girl)    Nick Ut 1972

a Vietnamese  photographer by the name of nick Ut was 25 mile away from Siagon. when a the Vietnamese air force mistakenly drop a load of napalm near by Trang bang and as he was walking towards town. he saw a group of kid running toward him and notice one little girl from head to toe with no cloths on. captures the famous image of her as she running but in reality she in pain, suffering from third degree burns. and he didn’t think she would survived but she did. this image in way was controversial, Ut’s Press colleagues, Hal Buell and Horst Faas thought  the photograph was news-worthy and its value would override the nudity. He was there at the right time to capture the moment give him the win for a Pulitzer prize.
