HDR Photography Intro

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image?
2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image?
3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR image?
4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might not have seen with just one photo?

1. To create an HDR image, you must take multiple photographs with varying shutter speeds and aperture combos.
2. You'll need a camera, tripod, and HDR photo-blending software.
3. Many people like to take HDR photographs because of the outstanding beauty of them. HDR photographs transform reality into a high-def dreamscape. 
4. Once the images are merged, you can see more detail of a image or it can create a better photograph that is visually more eye-appealling to the viewer. HDR photographs also make the photograph look more like you were actually at the place the photograph was taken. It also helps with lighting and focus points. It overall allows you to produce the best photograph you can possibly take.

My Opinions Story

Painting a New Picture

By: Callie Richards

     Art has allowed the most creative of people to express themselves in many different ways. Artists put heart and soul into their artwork. Art has started conversations based on a person's opinion and can start an uproar in social media occasionally. 

     In fashion, a creative quality is very useful and can make you more powerful as a fashion idol and earn you more fans. As a young artist, I enjoy seeing others work and hearing other artists opinions on any of my art. Art nowadays is a big thing on social media, many young artists are using social media as an outlet to show off any art pieces they have. Many Austin artists debate on certain art types on whether certain things can be considered art for example, graffiti. 

   Graffiti is seen as trashy and rebellious, many people disagree that graffiti is art and should be considered as art. I believe graffiti is its own type of art, it allows the artist to express emotion and character, many people think of it as a "hipster" or "rebel" type of art. Many supporters believe it is because it shows the person's creativeness, skill, and imagination. 

    Others also think it is because it allows a person power to have a voice and say something or show something they believe through art. Many people against graffiti believe it is vandalism and that it is rude/disrespectful to whom ever the place was vandalized. 

    Others also think it isn't art because it is vulgar and ugly to look at, they think it isn't enjoyable to look at or that it isn't really art, that it doesn't fit into the "art category". I believe art should be expressed no matter what form it may be, people should have the right to show what they have created or imagined. I think graffiti is just a different style of art, and is acceptable if it is in certain places, like if a place actually requests for it to have graffiti or a rundown/abandoned place.

   I think disrespecting a property of its "beauty" is unacceptable and is just rude, it's unasked for and rude. I think graffiti allows people to speak their mind but it should only be done in acceptable places.

Art is about expressing yourself and being you. It's about showing creativity, skill, imagination, technique, and a voice. Art should be shared with everyone, and it should be critiqued so that artist may improve them selves and become even better as a artist/person.

Express yourself may it be through a paintbrush, a pencil, or a mouth. Let all of your inner creativeness shine through and let it be "painted" into your life. 

Opinion Writing Part 2

#1. What was one idea that the writer gave in the Wide Range of Topics section that you can use as you start deciding on a topic?

Conversational topics or news stories are good because they give the reader something to think about.

#2. What was one idea the writer gave in the Opinions Pieces section that you should remember as you are writing your piece?

Details matter, state your opinion and state why you agree or disagree to the topic.

#3. List three suggestions the writer makes in the Personal Essays and Crafts section that you will use as you write.

1. In a personal essay you have the freedom to think what you like on a subject, but your reader should go away with a good idea of why you feel that way.

2.  Think of your essay as a camera lens. You might start by describing a fine detail (your personal experience or perspective, a specific moment in the narrative), then open up the lens to take in the wide view (the general/global backdrop), then close the piece by narrowing back to the fine detail. Or go the other way. Start with the wide view, focus in, then open up to the wide view again.

3.  A quotation from someone famous or something you’ve read/overhead. (“Be careful” were the last words my father said to me each time I left the house.)
