Creating Mood!!

CREATING MOOD 1. The writer of the article say creating mood is for him when he said it's all about the feeling of being there, of taking the viewer to the location of the photo to feel like I did when the shot was taken. 2. A common element that can add mood to a photo is fog. 3. Storm clouds add mood because the darker, more ominous and threatening the sky, the more drama and mood you'll have in the resulting images. Storm clouds can convey depression, pain, hurt, harm, or danger. 4. The kind of effect running water can have is nice. 5. Many different people can find many different moods in a photo because what creates a mood in one person may not work that way in another. ADDING EMOTION 1. Adding emotion makes a great photo because it helps a viewer connect with a piece if that emotion is prevalent in the viewer. 2. The photo should express what you see and feel through the viewfinder. 3. Faces convey emotion easily because you can look back and remember what you were feeling that day. 4. It would put your surroundings in a relaxing stance, and you'll take better shots. 5. What emotion am I trying to convey?

MARCH 11TH PHOTO INFO

1.Lighting conditions at noon can make a photo of a person too bright and shadows that are too dark. 2. The "golden hours" for sunlight is an hour or two before sunlight. 3. 1- Since light is directional, that provides interesting side lighting that can stress shape and texture, in addition to casting long, interesting shadow of your subjects. 2- Light has a more warmer and more attractive color than midday sun (thus the name 'golden hours'). 3- Light quality is softer and produces highlights and shadows that your camera can deal with more easily than the extremely contrasty light produced by the high midday sun. 4. Cloud cover effects a photograph because its blocks and diffuses the warm evening sun. 5. The two photos taken at 5:18pm are different because the first one is dark/shadowy and the second one has light and is more vibrant. The light and color makes the second one is more interesting than the other one because it draws more attention.. 1. Looking at art work is important for being a better photographer because you become an admirer and student of the world of art. 2. You should change your perspective because you should try different comfort zones and it will give you a creative boost.
