Camera Comparison

Comparison/Contrast Essay My life is like a camera because I focus on what's important, I capture the good times and I develop from the negatives. When capturing an image, a camera focuses on the most important thing in its field of view, the object (Toussaint, J.-P, & Smith, 2008). In the same way, I also have many things that need my attention but I deliberately choose to focus on my children, which are the most important things I have. The act of focusing on the important thing when taking a shot is like taking time off a busy routine to give attention to the things that matter to me. Since for me it is children, sometimes I just stay indoors to have some good time with them. Taking a trip with them when I am on leave or just a day out helps me go out of my routine to have new experiences with the important people in my life. They are the moments that strengthen our bonds as a family and they are priceless.
When capturing the object of focus, the camera angle determines the view of the image just the way-out attitudes and

The analog camera develops final images from negatives (Toussaint, J.-P, & Smith, 2008). The film negatives don’t look attractive and have no close resemblance with the final image that comes from it. The bright colors in the image appear black in the negative while the dark colors appear white in it (Toussaint, J.-P, & Smith, 2008). Therefore, it cannot be used to tell the appearance of the image. In life, there are also negative experiences from which we can draw important lessons and develop ourselves for the better. For me, one such negative experience is still in school at these moment. I gained important lessons from the circumstances which led to me still at it. and they have helped me work harder in life and keep on my good character to be the disciplined person I am today. Just like the film negative, the mistakes I made do not truly portray what I have ended up to

    People have access to capturing special moments according to their preferences. However, not all the pictures can be listed under the artistic photography. Instead of taking images, photographers do make images, showing people light and shadow, color and outline, as well as personal contemplation and imagination. In addition, the process of turning negatives into photographic papers requires some technical supports to polish those images, such as the dye transfer and darkroom techniques. Telling its own story, photography describes the subject itself, then conveys the personal visual experience, and above all it can create the imagination and arouse resonance with audiences, finally moving it into fine…

    In addition to characterization, Simien uses camera angle to demonstrate the diversity of racial identities and engage the viewer. Camera angles can be seen as very distinct and unique throughout the movie and were used to demonstrate power identities. In the first section of the movie, we can infer from camera angles alone that Sam maintains power over the rest of the black community in the election process. The inference comes from the fact that we, as the viewers, see the speech from another black student’s perspective where we are looking up to Sam. This view is symbolic of Sam’s power.…

    From my first trip to Fenway as a wide-eyed six year old to discovering Bill James’ scientific approach to the sport in his Baseball Abstract at age fifteen, “America’s pastime” has been a central part of my life. What began as childhood escapism, however, has since taken on greater importance in my mind. It has been said, I believe quite rightly, that baseball is a microcosm of America’s successes and contradictions. It’s a symbol of egalitarianism, national pride, and unity with a troubled history of racism, fraud, and violence.…

    In a world of digitally edited photography and Photoshop masters, Polaroid pictures have once more become a trend. The instantaneous image of life unabridged appeals because it refuses to portray life through any rose-colored or edited lens, instead allowing memory to appreciate the sanctity of returning to a moment lost. However, through this nostalgia, the brain crops and edits the photograph just as one would on a computer, freezing the moment in memory as better, brighter, and more beautiful than it ever was in life. E. B. White reflects upon this phenomenon in his memoir “Once More to the Lake,” elaborating upon the nature of time, memory, and the human’s perception of reality. Through a heartfelt story about his experience at a lake with…

It documents our people, events, and feelings by capturing that moment in time forever for anyone else who may come across the photo. ”Looking back, documentary photography has made waves of impact as a method of truth-telling in difficult times, a way of exposing disturbing scenes to raise awareness of things like poverty and famine, to ultimately reshape the public’s opinion on government policies that were often the direct cause”(Markert 3).Photography has made a bigger impact on human life than many people may believe, the reason being that the change that it has made is over…

    What differs from a photo of nature out in the sun with a photo of nature glared from the moon? Depth. The sun holds emphasis on light that contract to the environment which makes them glow. Therefore, the nature that is shown encaptures the distance from the camera to everything in front with the sun as its boundary. The moon works the same way except it overpowers what’s in front by censoring nature with darkness, making the photo apparent only to the moon than everything else surrounding it.…
