I Like this picture because it gives me a satisfaction of just looking at it all the edges and the straight lines 

This photo gives me an eerie vibe, the lines and trees lead to a foggy area which is also pretty creepy

I like this photo because of the circles it has, it creates sort of a trippy vibe

Platon says he does not think of himself as a photographer anymore. What does he say he is?
he says that he is a storyteller
Both Platon and Dylan McDermott talk about today's society and how it have been "robbed" by technology. What has technology taken from us according to Platon? Do you agree with the statements they make about communication today? Why or why not?
it ruins interactions with people. I agree because people today text instead of seeing eachother in person or if people hang out they are on their phone and not interacting with their friend

Describe a photo you saw in the episode that you felt was an exceptional photo
The guy with the gun. you get this vibe of fear.

Absent: Action Shot

 Motion Blur

In order to give an image a stop-action look, I learned you need to use your camera’s sports/action mode (indicated by the running figure on the basic shooting mode dial), or your shutter-priority mode to set a fast shutter speed. In this mode, denoted by the Tv (time value) or S (shutter) mode on your shooting dial, you set the desired shutter speed and your camera will automatically set the aperture to get the best exposure. I also learned that panning requires shutter to be 1/30th of a second while freezing action is 1/1000th of a second.
