Brutalism/Brutalist

Brutalism is a type of movement around architecture, rough buildings usually made out of concrete. This first started off with university buildings, government buildings as it was cheep to make. In French Breton Brut means raw concrete

Speeds

- An Outdoor Wedding, fast because there will be movement with kids running about in some and people having a laugh through out the day.

- A Horse Race, fast because horses run at really fast paces, the photograph will be blurred and not capture the moment if it is slow, unless the photographer is trying to capture the motion they will use a slow shutter speed.



- A Meteor Show At Night - A slow shutter speed as most photographs capture the motion and the meteor moving so they can see how fast they move and the light trail left behind

ISO and Exposure

Technically, Iso is not part of exposure. Shutter Speed and aperture brighten your photo by physically capturing more light

ISO doesn't do that: instead it essentially brightens or darkens the image

ISO SETTINGS & SPEEDS

As you increase your ISO number, your photos will grow progressively brighter.

When you double your ISO speed you are doubling the brightness.

however raising your ISO has consequences and a photo taken at too Hugh of an ISO will show a lot of grain, also known as noise

ISO low vs high

The lowest ISO on your camera is your BASE ISO, this is a very important setting because it gives you the potential to produce the highest image quality.
The base ISO is generally 100 ISO

When you are fighting against motion blur, you will need to pick between a sharp photo at a high ISO, or a blurry photo at a low ISO

If you use a slow shutter speed or wide aperture to brighten a photo when photographing a fast moving object then it will be blurry meaning you will need a high ISO to brighten the image.

tasks

Rule of thirds




















Leading lines





Fibonacci spiral







TASK 1:


Here is a photographer in the postmodernism styled photography, Allan Sekula followed three rules of compositions being; rule of thirds, leading lines and the Fibonacci spiral. Sekula has used the rule of thirds as the sections are split into three sectors along the bottom, middle and top. This image Sekula has taken of his family has the bottom sector of legs and shoes, middle being body and the top being heads apart from the little girls head just being under the top sectors of rule of thirds.

TASK 2:

This is an image I took on a side walk facing the road and I managed to capture a bus with a slow shutter speed to capture the motion of the bus while it was moving, I have slightly used rule of thirds as the image is has the bottom being the road, middle being the bus and top being a car park above however the image and bus aren't fully lined up to correctly be rule of thirds but are close enough I guess.
