Cooper Slovik's Photo Blog

1. Clark worked in  a botanical garden before he started photography.  2. I like how he can get the different angles of the waves, and the different perspective that he can achieve by going where he goes.  3. Sharks. Rocks. Both I can do without, just imagine hitting your head on a rock when you get pushed by a wave, then having a shark come out of nowhere and eating your passed out body. 4. No, because I do not think that I would have the passion that Clark does when photographing the waves.

My favorite part of this image is how it looks like he's moving. The most difficult of this process was making the layer masks and making it look like he's moving The easiest part of this process was taking the photos.

1. My favorite image is the last one uploaded because the two students seem as if they are about to collide while both trying to get the Frisbee. 2. The subject was in focus and the background was blurry, but it could have been more. Either with a lower fstop (impossible for the lens) or if I was able to get closer to the subject. 3. I shot from the eye level angle due to it being the easiest from my location. A lower, closer perspective would have been nicer, but impossible to have. 4. The images did have good light, and decent composition, the feet could have been in frame, and the rule of thirds could have been followed better. 

1)  http://www.robertbeckphotography.com/ 2) Robert shoots mainly sport photos due to his job at sports illustrated. Mainly golf 3) 4) I like this photo because it is actually a group of multiple photos overplayed to make is look like one. Th balance in the picture seems to be unbalanced, but however it is actually symmetrically balanced. The contrast of the black sky with the bright lights makes the performers stand out even more.

1) An iconic photograph is when the actual photograph is elevated over the actual event. 2) The three things that a photograph must have are light, composition and subject.
