Aperture: The aperture determines the amount of light is aloud to enter the lens. It is similar to the pupil in the human eye. The larger the aperture the more light is allowed in. Also the larger the aperture the more likely the picture is able to become blurry. The amount of light exposure in the camera will determine how light or dark the image is captured. The aperture is measured in different F-stops.

Shutter: Is the amount of time that the camera allows for light to enter through the lens. The shutter also has control over the action of the photograph. The more light, or longer the shutter is open, the less action you can capture. If you are trying to capture a photograph of a moving object or someone playing sports, then adjusting the shutter speed to a faster setting will help capture the photograph before resetting for the next picture. The shutter speed is measured in seconds and in fractions of seconds.

First Post

I like how the photographer was able to find a scene like this. I think it’s cool because it allows you to come up with reasons for why this person doesn’t like the police and because this could be a person who is using the title from Dr. Dre’s song. If someone who was just roaming the streets took this picture I thinks it would be cool to encounter scenes like this one I found this photo on flickr. If I were to try and recreate this image I think that it would be difficult in a sense of finding something like this.       


I thought that this picture was interesting because of the way that it captured what looks to be a huge storm but is still riding on top of the ocean water. It looks like people are still enjoying their time on the beach while something destructive is behind them.  I found this on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32002830@N06/5405310612/. I think it would be difficult to recreate an image like this because it’s not often you a see a storm come in like that. It was taken with a canon EOS 550D in New Holland, NL
