PhotoJ - Prompt Shoot Peer Review

http://camilles44.blogspot.com

1. I liked the picture with the prompt ''The End'' the best, because I think the idea with the book was really good. I also think the picture is shot very good, because there's nothing blurry or creasy and the lighting and exposure is really good.
2. 
   
3. Picture I like the least it ''Yummy'', because it is not perfectly sharp and I don't like so much that the person in the picture doesn't look into the camera. 
4. 
   
5. I really like that she thought about the prompts and I think the picture are perfect for those prompts. I also like how she cropped the pictures. I know we're supposed to crop them to specific sizes, but I think she chose wisely which picture should be which size.
6. 
   
7. I think the next time she could look a little bit better for the focus of the camera or stabilizing the picture, because the pictures are not always perfectly sharpened.
8. 
   
9. Like I said before in my opinion ''The End'' is the best prompt.
10. 
    
11. I think all of her pictures are good for the prompts but if I had to choose a least successfully portray, I'd choose ''Yummy''.

PhotoJ - Website #5 - Spiral Staircases

http://petapixel.com/2014/12/19/disorienting-beauty-spiral-staircases-old-abandoned-buildings/


The website is about a german photographer who grew up in eastern Germany. He's working on his project to take pictures of old abandoned staircases.

Again I didn't really learn something new about photography, more like about the project the photographer is working on.

1. Picture

I really like the colors of that pictures and how the staircase is built downstairs. I think the spiral is perfect captured.

Actually I can just see the rule ''patterns'' on that picture because of the spiral going down.

This picture was taken by Christian Richter.

PhotoJ - Website #4 - The oldest living things

http://www.rachelsussman.com/oltw/


This website is about a photographer who is doing a project, taking pictures of things older than 2000 years. She's working on that project since 2004 and is traveling around the world.

I didn't really learn about how to improve my photography. This website was more about a project a guy is creating. But I could clearly see that even she's using the simple photography rules we've learned too.

1. Picture

I really like this pictures, because I think the colors are beautiful, and it's amazing how he captured the weather.

The rules of photography visible are definitely ''depth in field'' and maybe ''lines'' because of the shape of the mountains.

The photographer was Rachel Sussman.

PhotoJ - Website #3 - Style

http://petapixel.com/2014/08/25/approaching-problem-style/


This website was about how to develop your own style and you to improve it. It's not about that you have good basic skills, you should take photos of stuff you like but also do the stuff your client wants you to do.

I learned that I should first let my client have the picture they want and then I should ask them if I can experiment for a little bit so I can practice develop my own style.

1. Picture

I chose that picture because it was there were only 3 pictures on the website and that was the only one which I kind of liked the most.

I don't really see rules of photography because the website was more about how to find your own style and not about the perfect basic skills like the rules of photography.

The photographer was Robin Walker.

PhotoJ - Website #2 - Great Portraits

http://blog.phowd.com/2014/09/7-tips-shooting-great-portrait-photographs/


This website was about how to shoot great portraits. It said a lot about how the model/client should act in front of the camera and how you can improve the portraits with doing something special like breaking the rules of photography.

I learned that it is a lot about breaking the ice and going out of the comfort zone with the model and of course doing not anything mainstream, more anything standing out like breaking the rules of photography or taking a picture of the model while she's doing something special.

1. Picture

I chose that picture, because I like how it shows the man with his profession or hobby.

Acutally I can just see ''background'' of the rules of photography, because it is a plain, white background.

There is also no hint who took the picuture

PhotoJ - Website #1 - Model Posing

http://denisesalceda.com/a-beginner-models-guide-to-posing/


This website was about how to pose right while modeling. It described what you should do and what not and showed a video about a super model and how she does the perfect job.

The new things I learned are that ways I should act, when I model. I should never have the same pose longer than 3 seconds or I should really look for my hands, that they are not destracting etc.

1. Picture:
I picked that photo because I really like B&W photography and because this is a really good portrait in my opinion.

I can see the ''Cropping'' and ''Background'' rules of photography in that picture.

There is no hint who took the photo.

3. Video (1.)
          The videos showed Coco Rocha while she was modeling for Gaultier. They showed us how to model ''perfectly'' with the example of Coco.
          The video is made by James Conran. He is Coco Rocha's husband and artist. He is not specifically a photographer but does art with pictures and videos too.
          /
          I didn't learn anything specifically new from the video. Just the same what I learned from the website: how to model ''correctly''
