picking a camera

       When it comes to choosing a camera, you want one that is convenient enough to carry around, and easy to haul out and take a picture whenever you want. I want a camera because I go lots of places and do lots of things. I play sports, I travel, I spend lots of time with family and friends, and a camera would be very useful to capture these activities, and others that I do.

        A camera I would pick would be a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1  because it is small and it cost 2799.99 dalars , and compact enough to carry anywhere. It is a pocket friendly design, so it is compact and easy to take wherever you need to go to. One of the camera's many highlights has great performance, with very fast autofocus. Another highlight, is that it is a great electronic view finder and doesn't increase the size of the svelte. It also offers excellent performance, photo and video quality. This camera also has very high resolution, giving lots of detail in good light

      In the states the camera cost 2799.99 but in Canada at Amazon it cost 3795.45 dallars. I checked best buy and staples for the camera but they didnt have it there.

Photo editing

For photo number one we edited the picture for it would go into black and white. We also turned the shadow all the way down. We kept the rest of them at 0. Also we turned the sharpness all of the way up.
For photo number two, we edited the picture brightness down to 15 and we kept the contrast at 0. Also we put the saturation down to 15 and the shadows all the way down to 100.
For photo number three, we edited the picture for the picture would be more bright. We kept the shadow down at 0. We kept all the rest of the options at 0. We turned the sharpness up to 100 and left structure at 0.

camera techniques


The Rule of Thirds

             I think this camera technique is important because it help make the picture look better. Two things I learned is that when you take a picture instead of putting the main thing in the middle of the picture you can put it to the right or left to make it look better. The part I like the best is when he moves the camera to the right to make the picture look better.


 Fill the Frame  

          I think this camera technique is important because when you take a picture of a small object, there tends to be a lot of space left, which can be distracting, however when taking the picture closer to the object, it leaves less space, allowing people to focus on the object and not the left over space. Something I learned, was that a very common mistake people make when taking pictures, is taking a picture from too far away.  Another thing I learned was that the closer you get to the picture, the clearer the tiny details get. 


Framing  

          I think this camera technique is important because it adds more detail. and helps the main focus of the picture stand out. One thing that I learned was that there doesnt have to be full frames on a picture, there can just be "partial frames". However, what confused me was how to know when should you use a partial frame.


Point of View 

       I think this camera technique is important because a picture could look horrible from one angle, but great from a different angle.  I learned how different something can look just by angling the camera differently. I also learned that there are many different ways to angle the camera, which leaves you many different forms of a picture, of the same object.  

 

Level Horizon 

            I think this technique is important, because if the camera is not level, your photo can be crooked. You can have the perfect picture...except its just a little sideways! I learned that there is a "function" button on some cameras, and it can help you level your photo

Our target audience will be anyone in high school or middle school who takes an interest in social media. The issue is how much do you think you know about social media.Making it said by a modern internet hacker , but powerful person in the area of criminal activity. The call of action will have you think about internet privacy more and make you  put more precautions on all of your online information. A effective image would be a shadowy figure trying to physically open a computer to get the information. Shadowy figure looks like a stereotypical criminal.
