PHOTO EFFECTS

                     Shallow Depth of Field


A shallow depth of field photo consists of an object in the foreground, with another object in the background that is not very far from the front object. Also, the object in the background is usually out of focus, while the one in front is almost always in focus.

                                                                







                         Deep Depth of Field


A deep depth of field photo consists of an object in the foreground, with the background extending into a vanishing point, so it looks like the background extends for a very long distance.
                                                              
                                                                  \






                         Fast Shutter Speed


A photo with a fast shutter speed is almost always used to capture a still moment out of some sort of action. The fast shutter speed exposes the film to light very quickly, therefore only the action taking place at the very split second is captured.
                                                                
                                                              





Slow Shutter Speed


A slow shutter speed is used to capture action that is happening over a period of time. Using a slow shutter speed will expose the film to a lot of light, therefore blurring the action that is happening for a period of time.

                                                                        





                 Film Grain



Film grain is an effect used nowadays, to make photos look old. Grain is where there is the texture of what looks like a burlap bag.

                                                                    














                  Digital Noise

Digital noise is an effect that has a texture that looks like enlarged versions of the pixels on a television.

Photo Blogs

Photo 1: Mr. Boothby
These are Photo Blogs that I thought were very interesting.



Everything I Like Causes Cancer

This is a blog about things that just come to the mind randomly of the person who edits the blog. He posts all kinds of random and funny photos that come to his mind of the spot.

Magic Carpet Burn

This is the most interesting blog that i found. All the photos on the blogs are from old horror movies and of re-creations of old horror movie monsters. There are also a lot of photos of comic books that were made a long time ago.

White Trash BBQ

I like this blog because there were lots of photos about the huge barbecuing contests that are held in New York City. Also there are a lot of photos of the food that is made there.

Ugly Overload!

This blog is very interesting because there are a lot of photos of very strange looking creatures that live in our world. For example, a fish that has human like teeth, and a fish with feet.

Just Another Uninteresting Blog

This blog i thought was very good because it had some really cool photos of this person's college campus. Most of the the photos are not professionally taken, but the still are excellent pictures.

Mustaches of the Nineteenth Century

This blog was really funny because there are extremely old photos, dating back to the beginning of personal photography, of peoples mustaches. It is intriguing to me that these people all had such huge and funny shaped mustaches.
