Week 3

-Reading Quiz

1. Describe IN YOUR OWN WORDS what is meant by the idea that “the link (with the human eye and its usual optical radius) is not really needed” in terms of photography and film. (Ossip Brik reading)............ 

-----I think it means that we need to start seeing the things around us in a different way, in a way that not everyone sees it so that our pictures come out better than what reality is set to be but what reality is, is more than just what the eye sees everyday, which is the norm.  

2. What is a DNG file? Why would you convert your files to DNG when you are importing them to LR? 

----A DNG file is a digital negative and it was created by adobe so that anyone could use this format. You would convert your files into a digital negative when importing to LR because is a smaller type of file size and it will be quicker to upload or import to light room 

3. How do you enter Lights Out mode in LR? How can you use this mode?  

-----You enter lights out mode in light room by double clicking the letter L and you could use this mode when wanting to display pictures with nothing else showing on the screen but the picture and black around the pictures.

-Looking at Photographs

---The picture that most captured my attention was the first one of the broken window.  Before reading what it was i couldn't really tell what it exactly was but then i started to see it as a shadow and then saw the broken glass type thing.  I found it interesting because it seems as that space in the middle could take you into a different time zone like a time machine sort of thing.  It seems as if you step into it you wouldn't know what to exactly expect to find yourself with because its dark there and the broken texture gives it a mysterious way to it since it makes you wonder why is it broken and such. I like how the middle of that picture is pitch black and how you cannot tell everything that went on at that moment but it does give you like a mysterious feel to it.
