STEPHANE JUNG

This is my photograph inspired by Stephane Jung. I accomplished this photograph by choosing one location of my school, and token 20 images and made slight alterations by changing the angle of the camera and zooming in and out by a small amount. I also layered the images together on photo-shoot to be able to make them into one layered photo.

aperture=F16

aperture= F 5.6

The two images above uses a range of  long and shallow depth of field. I will  be explaining how these images use depth of field and when you might want to use them.

Often photographers are after a shallow depth of field. This is shown in the photo above by the "f5.6" photo. The key thing about a shallow depth of field is that, because only a small area of the photo is in focus, it concentrates the viewer's eyes on that part of the photo. It isolates the subject from its surroundings. Because a shallow depth of field isolates the subject from its surroundings, it is really useful in portrait photography. And because a lot of the photos we take are of people, it helps to know how to separate them from the background in this way.

The other photo shows a long depth of field – pretty much everything in the photo is in focus. This is useful too, for those times when you really do want everything in focus. Landscape photographers often want to use this effect because they want to get the whole scene in focus – from the flowers in the foreground to the lighthouse in the background.

In the photos above. The camera lens in the bottom right shows how large or small the aperture was when the photo was taken. When the aperture is wide open – f5.6 – we get a shallow depth of field. And when the aperture is almost closed – f16 – we get a long depth of field.

The image taken by Nick Ut on June 8th, 1972, shows crying children running away from their village after a Napalm aerial attack by South Vietnamese Forces.It’s a disturbing image; one that shakes us to our core. The main subject in the shot is nine year old Kim Phuc; running, , wailing the words “Too hot, too hot”, crying and naked. As she was hit by the burning Napalm, it raced up her body and incinerated her clothing on contact. It burnt through the layers of her skin all over her back, leaving her heavily scarred to this day. I chose this photo by Nick Ut to analyse becuse i think it shows action very well.  It only took a second for  the photographer Huynh Cong Ut to snap the iconic black-and-white image 40 years ago. I  think  It communicated with the horrors of the Vietnam War in a way words could never describe, helping to end one of the most divisive wars in American history. Amazingly, he toke the photo at the perfect time conveying the perfect emotions instantly. Looking at the shocked and terrified faces of the children running away from their village that in on fire in the background of the photo really makes me emotionally sad because the expressions they show in the image makes me imagin what tough and terrifying experience they had to go through at such a young age.

 

  
This is my photograph and it's an example of composition and follows the rule of thirds because the sea shell sits at the intersection of two lines, sometimes called a power point or a crash point.

The photograph demonstrates the application of the rule of thirds. The horizon sits at the horizontal line dividing the lower third of the photo from the upper two-thirds. The tree sits at the intersection of two lines, sometimes called a power point or a crash point. Points of interest in the photo don't have to actually touch one of these lines to take advantage of the rule of thirds. For example, the brightest part of the sky near the horizon where the sun recently set does not fall directly on one of the lines, but does fall near the intersection of two of the lines, close enough to take advantage of the rule.
Applying the Rule of Thirds makes an interesting composition out of what could be a very boring subject.

Hi, I am Lina Almehrej, studying photography at Kenton school. This blog will have a collection of photographs that will be my first project which will be based on the theme of  'Environment'. I like portrait and landscape photographs and i enjoy Wilma Hurshainen work.
