Bubble Reflection (no pun intended)
How do you react to the idea that photography is triad relationship between 3 parties, photographer, subject and audience. Describe that relationship in the work you did this weekend shooting the bubble work.

1. As a photographer, I set my camera to the proper settings and proceeded to take pictures. I could not adjust shutter, but it was afternoon and not too bright so I set ISO higher and used whole frame metering. I wanted to use rule of thirds for the bubbles. I also directed my aunt to blow bubbles in a way I could take pictures of them.
ReplyDelete2. The bubbles are annoying. They move around unpredictably and pop at unpredictable times. My aunt just kept blowing the bubbles.
3. The audience serves to provide feedback and therefore can quantify quality and improvement. I hope they react well.
1. I found a good spot where there was a lot of shade and little wind. I told taylor where to stand and when to blow the bubbles. i used the metering options and tried to get the best pictures i could with his camera.
ReplyDelete2. the subject helped me take the picture by blowing some great bubbles and timing everything well. the bubbles helped create the photos.
3. i want the audience to enjoy the pictures, and to try and better them as best as they can.
1) i was trying to shoot pretty much everything you can do with a bubble: popping, blowing, shadows of the bubble, floating, and my reflection in the bubble. I had the shutter speed fairly high the whole time because i was trying to get the bubble popping but i forgot to change it back.
ReplyDelete2) i trie to get a uniform background so that the bubble would stand out more than anything else in the picture but because of the movement of the bubble, that goal was hard to achieve.
3) i want the audience to notice specific things about the bubble that i was trying to highlight while shooting. I would like to impress the audience with my shooting abilities, bu those are not quite refined to that point yet.
1. My role as the photographer would be that I used a high shutter speed and set it to the multiple shot setting to capture my friends blowing their bubbles.
ReplyDelete2. My friends had to blow their bubbles multiple times until I got a good shot of them doing the action. I wanted the picture to seem clear and good.
3. I would want the audience to enjoy what I photographed and I would want them to think that I did a good job doing it.
1. As the photographer I set a high shutter speed and set my camera to take multiple shots.
ReplyDelete2. I had my friend blow many bubbles at once so I could have a lot to choose from and more of a chance to capture a good shot. We had multiple tries to get each shot. For one of the pictures I had another friend blow bubbles over one of my friends to get a shot of her just looking at them all.
3. I would want the audience to realize the time spent on each photo.
1) I took pictures of patrick and i put my camera in spot mode which is good for head shots, which made a great picture with blowing a bubble.
ReplyDelete2) The person i was shooting did great making the picture work by blowing the bubbles into the air.
3) I would like the audience to critique my photographs and give some useful feedback.
1. I took one of my pictures at my friends house and just change the shutter speed and iso based on the setting and lighting outside. then at home i tried to get the bubble popping and boosted the shutter speed but i never got it and i also had my camera so it take continuous shots.
ReplyDelete2. my friend tries to make a giant bubble or keep the bubble on the wand and tried to pop it with her finger so i could take the pic, and helped a lot to try to get a good picture.
3. The role of the audience is the enjoyment that they get out from this picture or any way the react to the picture.
1. I took pictures of bubble on a high shutter speed setting and worked with one of my good friends tim fisher.
ReplyDelete2. my subject had to blow bubbles and then try to pop them we required some coordination in order to do this.
3. I want the audience to get a "wow" feeling when they see the pictures i took.
1. As the photographer my role was to try and get the best picture possible. to do this i kept moving to shoot from a different angle to try and get the light in the best way possible. I changed my exposure depending on how much light I was getting. In the various different photos I was trying to get the idea to be a little different, how many bubbles, the angle i was shooting the bubbles from.
ReplyDelete2. the role of the subject is to allow itself to be photographed. Try to stay still and do as the person is told, if inanimate its job is to do what the object is meant to do.
3. The photographer would usually want to obtain some sort of reaction from the audience, usually in a good way. But sometimes photography is used as a way to show an opinion or convey a message.
1) As the photographer, I got at the level of the person blowing the bubbles and put it on flash since we were shaded by the trees surrounding the person I was taking a picture of and myself. I also had it on a higher shutter speed to capture the bubbles before they popped.
ReplyDelete2) The role of the subject was to simply continue blowing them and to act as they normally would when blowing bubbles, causing the shots to seem more natural.
3) I would like the audience to be able to experience and see the picture through my eyes in the snapshot that I had taken. I hope the audience will be amazed I was at the turnout of the pictures as I was.
1. Well since I was stuck else where for almost the entire day, I had to take the pictures early evening so there might not have been enough light. I was so focused on getting a picture of the bubbles that I wasn't really paying attention to the other aspects. So I would try to crop the images to the rule of thirds and fix the lighting.
ReplyDelete2. The subject is to make my work interesting. It is what the picture is of and thus the most important component.
3. The role of the audience is to critique the work so that the next picture will be better. I want the audience to think 'wow that is an amazing picture' or 'aaaww, what an adorable little girl.' I really want audience to feel amazed or impressed by my style and concept.
1. This assignment wasnt easy at all. I had to deal with two little kids, and they were not helping at all. It was extremely bright, and i was having problems with exposure, some of my pictures were super white, and some of them super dark. when i finally got my camera to work right, my tiny models were tired, hungry and they wanted to do anything but help me with my homework.
ReplyDelete2. the models were a big part of this task. and one of my models didn't even know how to blow a bubble :'(. They had to make nice, consist bubbles for some pictures, and a lot of bubbles for others.
3. I think that the role of the audience is to give me constructive comments. i would really like to learn how to take a picture of a popping bubble, because i tried a lot, and i was far from getting a good picture
1. I took half of my pictures at my church with some little kids, and half in my backyard with my little brother. I put my shutter speed up as high as it could go and adjusted my aperture and ISO as needed. The lighting was tricky because part of the place i was shooting at the first time was shaded and part was sunny. I eventually found a good settings and a good place to take the picture and ended up with some great light coming in.
ReplyDelete2. The two little kids i worked with in the beginning were helpful (especially the older one who was in both of my pictures from that setting). The younger one tried to make bubbles by following the lead of his older brother but it was hard because he is younger.
3. The audience gives feedback, and any feedback is always helpful. We want an audience to react in a positive way.
1. I tried to get the subject in clear focus, either blowing bubbles or looking at it, by striking a balance between the background and foreground, and by adhering to the golden mean. I went with lower exposure on one photo to try to get the focus on the bubble (it ended up a bit too dark). All were taken with high shutter speed.
ReplyDelete2. The subject should just be focused on what they're doing, in order for the photographer to get what they want.
3. They should look at how the photo lis laid out, and how the composition shows up.
I think as a photographer, need to learn how to use the correct setting for each subject that you gonna shot and keep shooting until you got a good photo that you think is good and you think the people see the photo will think is good. The subject should be in the right angle in your camera.
ReplyDelete1) I had to work with the other person a lot so I could get the right timing and everything. I did a few test shots with each metering selection and picked the one that worked the best or that I personally liked the best.
ReplyDelete2) They had to listen and deal with me being slightly bossy and they had to blow the bubbles when i told them to.
3)My pictures came out pretty good I think.
My role as the photographer was to make the subject feel comfortable and look natural. In order to do this, I didn't tell him what to do or how to pose, I simply told him to blow bubbles. For the camera settings and composition I tried to shoot relatively close to the subject, so that the picture would just be the person and the bubbles and no background noise. As for the subject, his role is to just be natural. I would like the audience to feel like they get to know the subject a little bit better through my photo.
