Final Exam

4. This photograph I took had changed the way I had viewed photography, since the four people that are in this poster were from a different photograph, in which I had cropped out the background. This was also my decisive photograph. Then, I had moved these four people onto the poster board as well as adding some word to the poster board making it an advertisement. 

5. Shapes have only two dimensions, and they are height and width. Forms can exist in three dimensions, which are height, width, and depth.  

6. Repetition usually refers to something that is repeated only once or twice, whereas a pattern refers to something or many things that are repeated several times in the same order over and over again. 

7. This photograph relates to movement, because as you look at the tree in the center, you automatically see the small building to the left, as your eyes move you towards that location in this photograph.

I believe this would be my best work based on my last three projects, since I had a lot of information to say about each of the five photographs, and it even brought back family memories that I had around one week before this school year started. Besides, it was one of my favorite trips that I had ever gone on. 

Final Photo Story

I will be talking about a drive I took down to Big Sur back in the Memorial Three Day Weekend last year.

This is a photograph of a road near Big Sur I was near. I really like how the road becomes uphill and it turns to the right making me curious of where it leads to. 

This is a photograph of a blue sports utility vehicle I took at the same location of where I took the first photograph. I also own a blue sports utility vehicle, but that is Hyundai Veracruz, and I am not sure what model or make this car was, but my car was a paler shade of blue. 

This is me at Pfeiffer Beach, which also has a stream that runs though it and connects to the Pacific Ocean. The waves at this beach are intense, but they usually hit the rocks only. I took a photograph of how the ocean looks like from the beach itself. 

This is a photograph I took of some beaches from a higher altitude. Some of the beaches here at not public beaches, so people are not allowed to trespass into them. These beaches might be those private beaches that restrict visitors from going to them. 

This is a photograph I took of a boat that is near a rock. I can also see the waves behind the boat, since when the boat goes at high speed, it causes waves from the back. I took this at the same location as I did for the fourth photograph. The texture of the ocean is also visible from this altitude.

Period 2

Hanson Wang

I like how this photo was taken as if the baseball is a giant. 

Period 3

Jason Stiltz

I like how this photo was taken, since it shows a very vivid description of the butterfly drinking the nectar. 

Period 4 

Kush Patel

I like how this picture was taken, since it shows a panorama of the beach and the rest of the island in addition to the front of the boat he stood on when he took this photo.  

Photo Story

The first picture is of the sunset I took at a beach club in Kona. Since, the time in Kona is three hours behind the time in Fremont, the sunset happened only a couple of hours after landing at Kona. 

The second picture represents a sacred historical park that I visited with my family the next day. This shows an ancient game that resembles a board game. 

The third picture is of me going to South Point later on that day. This is a popular site, where there is a site for jumping off a cliff for a forty-foot dive into the Pacific Ocean. I did not do that, since I just went snorkeling earlier, and I did not bring a spare pair of swimming trunks, and plus, the cliff was pretty rocky, and I could not afford to get injured during this trip. 

This fourth picture is of me at the top of Kilauea, one of the five main volcanoes in the Big Island. It is close to Hilo, and its summit is at an elevation of 4,091 feet. It is an active volcano, but luckily it was not expected to erupt at that time, though there was dried up lava from an earlier eruption from this volcano nearby that was another tourist attraction. 

This fifth picture is of me on the Mauna Kea, which is a dormant shield volcano, and it has an observatory. Its summit is the highest point in the state of Hawaii, and it is the tallest mountain in the world when it also includes its underwater base, which extends to around 20,000 feet below sea level, thus making its overall height of it 33,000 feet, thus making it the tallest mountain in the world. However, since its summit is only at 13,796 feet, Mount Everest surpasses it. The mountain in the distance is the Mauna Loa, which is the largest mountain in the world, but its summit is 150 feet lower than that of the Mauna Kea. it extends up to 16,000 feet below sea level, so it would not be taller than Mauna Kea either way. This is also another shield volcano, but it is an active one.
