Famous Photographer.

Philip Hyde was born and raised in San Francisco in 1926. He lived in a house he built in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, for 50 years.  He first got into photography in college when he took the Ansel Adams Photography program at the California School of Fine Arts. He took his first landscape photograph in 1942.  He was working as a photographer for 51 years.  Philip’s type of photography is mainly nature and landscape.  He made a living by selling his photographs.  With every one he sells, he donates a portion of the profit to environmental causes.  He stopped taking photographs in 2000 because of his loss of eyesight, and then later died at age 85 in 2006.  I personally love his photographs; they are so pretty and so unique. His photos have been seen in many well known things, like The New York Times and National Geographic.  He is very well known for his photography.  He was named one of the best outdoor photographers of the 20^th century.

Reflection of Photography.

So far this year in photography, I have learned about many things. Rule of thirds means to put the main subject in a picture off to the side, on the top or bottom on either side and to focus on that subject. I have also learned about all of the six basic camera shots when taking pictures. They are: EWS (extreme wide shot), WS (wide shot), MS (medium shot), MCU (medium close up), CU (close up), ECU (extreme close up).  I’ve also learned about shutter speed and how fast it should be for each type of picture. I’ve learned so much about photo shop, because we use it every day to lighten or darken up our pictures, and to make them better than they already are. Photo shop is so easy to use now. At first I thought it was hard to use and I didn’t see why he made us use it, but now I see why he did. It helps make the pictures livelier. I like this photography class so far. It’s more work than I thought it would be, but now that I know what to do it is very easy and fun.
