5 websites

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



On this website i looked at pictures of several different spiral staircases which was quite disorienting. They were shot by a german man named Christian Richter who saw the beauty in the abandoned staircases in the abandoned buildings.

I learned that  a good abandoned staircase is hard to find Richter sometimes searches for days to find the perfect one, thats dedication to the art.

  1. On this website I saw pictures of many abandoned staircases shot by photographer Christian Richter. The pictures were stunning because you would look at some of them and not even know it was a staircase, some looked like abstract paintings. 
  2. I learned that photography is all subjective, the thing you're shooting doesn't necessarily have to look how it does in the real world. Also everyone looks at things differently what looks like a staircase to someone else can be something completely different to me.   
  3. The site relates to photography because they are photos designed to show people something beautiful inside something that is run down and no one sees as something worth time.

oldest living things in the world
http://www.rachelsussman.com/oltw/



On this website I looked at pictures of the oldest things that are still living in the world. I saw pictures of trees, micro organisms, mountains, sea creatures, and other various ancient things. The pictures included descriptions of the photo and how old it was.

I learned that things in nature can live for really really long amounts of times and still look virtually brand new.


  1. I picked this photo because I think its really beautiful and has a lot of character. It also has a sense mystery to it, like where does that staircase lead to? I don't know, but I want to 
  2. Rules of photography included in this picture are lines, shown by the staircase, simplicity, shown by the simple blue sky in the background, and balance, shown by the the trees in both the foreground and middle ground to balance each other out.
  3. These pictures were taken by Rachel Sussman. 

killer timelapse 
http://blog.ted.com/how-to-create-a-killer-timelapse-with-joe-capra/

On this website I looked at a time lapsed video of Rio and places around there. I saw how the world changes in a matter of seconds.

I learned about the many things you need to accomplish to make a good time lapse and the way timelaspes are used in media.

  1. In the video I saw how places around Rio change over time, I saw the things that you wouldn't see if you just sat staring for an hour.
  2. The person who made the video was Joe Capra, he used to do mainstream photography until he saw a time lapse and became obsessed. Now he travels around shooting time lapses for big companies.
  3. Basically, Joe was starting to get recognition for his time lapses and was commissioned by Panasonic to shoot them for their tvs, he got to choose a place to go and shot what he wanted. When he was editing he took notes from his friends and family then came out with the finished product.
  4. A new thing that I learned is you can use time lapse to show change over the course of years. I did not know you could do that i thought the longest was a day or two. 

DIY photo stands 
http://content.photojojo.com/diy/diy-photo-stands-how-to-train-your-dinos/

On this websites I looked at a tutorial on how to make dinosaur photo holders. they went through step by step to teach people a fun way to display photos. 

I learned how i can display pictures without having to buy a frame and hang it on the wall which will save space on my walls for other things. 

  1. I learned how to make dinosaur photo holders by cutting them in halves and gluing magnets to them to keep the photos up right.
  2. I can use this in your class by having a cute way to display the pictures that I take.
  3. This tutorial did not help me learn a program because it had nothing to do with computers

how to make cinema graphs
http://content.photojojo.com/tutorials/how-to-make-cinemagraphs-photos-that-move/

On this website I looked at how to make a cinema graph. A cinema graph is a picture that moves, it is not a video just a moving picture.

I learned what gif stands for Graphics Interchangable Format, still am unaware of which way is the proper way to pronounce it. 

  1.  Today I learned how to make a cinema graph. 
  2. I can use this in your class by making a cinema graph if it would help enhance the photo. 
  3. This tutorial taught a way to use adobe photoshop by editing a video to make it look like one moment in time. 
* the link to the last part would not let me through but i would probably not want to do a challenge because i don't have a camera or anything to edit with
