Document Summary
Ansel adams- there are no rules for good photographs, there are just good photographs . Photographed japanese americans in their internment camps. David allen harvey- street, documentary photographer don"t shoot what it looks like; shoot what it feels like . For a non-blurry photo, the general rule of thumb is 1/focal-length if hand-held. Iso is the sensitivity of the film/sensor to light- the higher the iso, the grainier the shot. Note: 200 iso is the default for highest quality digital pictures. Winning as a visual artist is someone looking at your thing for more than 5 seconds. If an aperture cannot open and close fast enough, use flash to capture the light at 1/20,000 of a second or even faster. Photo technique- pan with subject to give the background motion blur. Tip: follow the subject from way before and way after you actually take the picture.
