Both of the photos above depict landscape photography  that also contain messages. The message in the first photograph would have to be a very somber message. It shows how cold and depressing it looks outside in the country of Japan. The photographer probably was trying to depict emotion in this photograph. In the photo below it, the photographer probably was trying to depict the significance of religion in a certain place. The cross gives away the fact that the picture is definitely trying to convey that message of religion.The second picture portrays more of a message when compared to the first picture.

Photo by Walker Evans

In this photo I can see  a graveyard and a steel mill in the background using objective analysis. While using subjective analysis, I can see that this photograph is portraying what life was like in the 1930's. Walker Evans made this photo very effective because it's not just a picture of landscape but it shows how depressing the times were back then. It can definitely be considered art because art is a form of expressing oneself's emotion so this picture could possibly show the emotions of a photographer during the 1930's. Also, it's considered art because it's a photograph that portrays a story or event.

The pictures above are the four pictures that I took that contain both solid and fluid forms. They show the different shutter speeds that I used depending on the way the subjects look.

The photographer that took this picture used a slow shutter speed because the background is blurred but the foreground is clear. Some difficulties while taking this picture could've been accidentally making the foreground blurry but the photographer definitely was able to accomplish the right shutter speed that he was going for.

Unit 4 Activity 3

These are the four photos that I took that display photographs taken using a faster than 1/250  shutter speed. There is no blur in these photos and I focused in very clearly on the main subject which was the flag. I tried really hard to make it so that there is no blur in the pictures.

These four photos are the photos that I took that display shutter speeds between 1/15 and 1/125. I panned the camera to be able to take these pictures and so the movement of the panning made the visual effect look better.  These photos also didn't turn out blurry because of the shutter speeds.

The photograph above was taken using a fast shutter speed. The photographer used a fast shutter speed to capture all of the glass pieces from the light bulb breaking apart. While taking this picture, the photographer could have had problems with trying to keep the picture from turning out blurry. He could have held the camera very still to take the picture or he most likely used a tripod so that the picture wouldn't turn out blurry. This photo definitely shows great depth of field because of the subject in the photograph. It also gives you a feeling a movement because the glass pieces are flying up into the air.

Photo by Henry Cartier-Bressen

This photograph here was one of the many unique photographs taken by the professional photographer Henry Cartier-Bressen. I chose this one to put on my blog because it shows the "decisive moment" very well. The man is standing in front of two lines of trees which helps to add composition such as leading lines in the photo. The trees behind the man add quality to the photo because it makes it more interesting and unique.
