I like this photo because its dark and gives this kind of scary feeling. I like more creepy kind of photos and cool storm photos like this. I also like seeing the stars up top because it can show how are beautiful world can be scary and threatening.

I would love to take photos of the rain, but its hard because it rarely rains here. Along with the rain I would also want to take photos of storm clouds and lightning. I want to take photos like one of my family members does because its a cool way to express people and yourself. I am also interested in taking photos of almost anything music related because music is my passion.

Touching People

1. I think this project is interesting. It could really bring people together or let us meet new people. It also shows how humans can be very uncomfortable with each other when really we are all the same inside.
2. I would be shy and say no but I think this project is cool and I would want to participate. It may be awkward but we just have to move past that. Its not awkward unless you make it awkward, and I need to be less shy. I think it would be cool to do.
3. I was in a photo shoot one time where I could wear goofy hats I have and be my weird self. I think it would be cool if there was a photo shoot like this one, but we got to wear clothes that represent us.
4. I like the photos and they are good, but they are not the kind of photos I could admire for hours. 

Top 40 Photos

I picked this photo because I feel bad for the small child. My brother was in the marines and I don't know what or how to take the news that my big brother died. (He is safe and living in Houston now). The way the light is really makes the photo look cool but I just like the story more that the photo. I think this photo made it to the top because the way it was taken and it is also a sad story which people somewhat like. Photographer: Aaron Thompson 

I chose this photo because I remember being at the airport waiting for my brother to come home and being so happy to see him. I can relate to this photo and I love to see families get reunited. I like the photos lighting and how its just focused on the mother and daughter. I think the photo made it to the top because of the way it was taken and people like sweet stories and want people to reunite with family that might be fighting for out country. Photographer: couldn't find 

I chose this photo because I think it adorable and I support same sex marriages. I think people should be with who make them happy. I just think everything about this photo is perfect. I think it made it to the top because its sweet and it supports a good cause. Photographer: Stan Honda

Warm up

1. I think it is uneque different and cool. You don't see that everyday and its just interesting.
2. No, I understood that it was upside-down faces that are way cool.
3. I would want to do a thing like this because its different and fin. It would get ones name out because of how creative it is.

The Camera

1. Inside a dark room a tiny hole in a wall must be created. The light gets focused and then you can see a upside image on a wall.

2. Christian Huygens and Isaac Newton knew a lot about optics and how to make high quality lenses. The lenses then were used in a camera to make a more modern camera.

3. The part that made the modern camera "modern" was film. The film was used and created the first successful photograph in the 19th century. So then what you needed for a modern camera was a dark box, glass lens, and film.

4. Niepce's camera works just like digital cameras we have today. Light passes through the lens and onto the film which then creates the photograph.

5. In digital cameras the photo is captured in a electronic sensor called CCD and then stored in computer memory in the camera.

6. On auto mode the flash and exposure are automatically set. On program you can control them yourself so once you have it the way you want it just point and shoot.

7. Portrait mode is used to focus on only one thing, so once its focused on one thing the background gets blurred out.

8. Sports mode is used to take photos of moving things. The camera will use the fastest shutter speed it can.

9. Half press is used for focusing. You should use this so your picture is clear and focussed.

10. The symbol means that the flash is off and so it won't flash while taking the photo. You would use the no flash when its really bright outside or if you create your own lighting.

11. The symbol means that the flash will go off automatically if the camera thinks its too dark. You could use this when you think you might have enough lighting but not sure, or if its really dark where your shooting photos at.

12. When there is too much light the photo will be washed out and look faded.

13. The photo will be dark and so then it will be hard to see what you took a photo of.

14. A stop represents the change in lighting.

15. The new planet is 1 stop brighter.

16. The new planet would be 2 stops brighter.

17. The longer shutter speed has more light.

18. The shorter shutter speed has less light.

19. The aperture controls how much light gets in. It works similar to a pupil in an eye.

20. You can adjust the amount of light by setting the aperture opening to F-stop.
