i think this was the most powerful picture because they all look so proud of what they do. and because the photographer made it look so good. he did simplicity because of the simple background.

i think that the section from picture 1-49 (denver) is the most effective because it shows him saying bye to all his friends and family, that's powerful to me.

the pictures work together in telling a story by showing the order of events in chronological order.

in the pictures where ian is the most important thing it tells us in present tence.


the captions enhance the photos by telling us what's going on in the picture.

caption- the soldiers are taking a photo of them selves in uniform for the postal the military base on there free time.

the way videos are better than photographs is that the videos join depth way more, and more detail.

like when the picture of ian signing up for the military the video told us him thinking about it and the story behind instead of just the picture.

photos are better than videos in a way because they catch people in the moment.

taken at aperture setting F2.8



taken at aperture setting F16


The widest aperture here is f1.4, the smallest is f22. The difference between each aperture is known as a stop, and either halves or doubles the amount of light allowed to reach the film. The widest aperture available on any lens is known as the speed of the lens; it is a useful feature of a lens to have a relatively wide maximum aperture as then the camera is more versatile in lower light conditions.
Selecting a wide aperture, ie. f4 and wider, will restrict the depth of field so the photographer must choose which part of the image to focus on.

The aperture is essentially a variable hole that's located inside the lens of your camera. This "hole" is formed by a series of overlapping blades. On an SLR or DSLR you can adjust the aperture using the dials and on compact digital cameras the aperture controls are often found hidden in your menu depending on the camera.
