Ted Talk: Impossible Photography

When I was watching the TED talk, he said that the photo ends when you press the trigger. That made me believe that it was true, and you captured that one last moment ever in your life. And how he believed it to be being in the right place at the right time. Photos contain a level of realness, which could be dark and colorful with the common goal of retaining the level of realism as in photo realism. Even though you can’t capture it the photographer would want to have it look like it could have been captured. He said a photo where you would need to be able to think in order to figure out the trick. So, it’s more about capturing an idea than a moment. I think that when someone mixes reality with reality, they can create a world that is not here. And that is what I find so amusing as a person. You can create a world no one has ever made, or no one has ever seen and to know it is just one optical illusion is really interesting because those illusions you see captures your attetion and it just plays with your mind. 

RAW VS.JPEG CAPTURE

When you take a photo on a digital camera it is considered as raw data. So when you go out and take photos the same day those photos save on your camera. It doesn’t move or go anywhere else. However, if you wanted to edit it, that is where the jpeg comes in. For a photo to be jpeg it would have have been edited and saved as a jpeg. You can move that jpeg to your computer where you will be able to save it and publish it wherever you put it out.

Photo Foundation

What I had learned about camera exposure and camera modes is that camera exposure and camera modes has many modes it can be set at. Such as, auto, program, aperture priority, shutter priority, manual, bub, portrait, landscape, sports/action, night/low-light. Camera exposure also includes handing metering, the focus, and mode. The modes on the camera can either make your photos come out nice or bad depending on what mode you put. The most common used is the landscape, portrait, sports ,and night mode.
