Look at a Henri Cartier-Bresson photograph and discuss why you think that capturing the decisive moment has added to the picture’s quality. 

Henri Cartier-Bresson

 Capturing the decisive moment has added to the picture's quality because it shows the movement of the subject. It also shows the subject in almost a natural state. It seems as the photographer was just stating in the background and not disturbing the subject.

In both of these photos, the photographers used a slow shutter speed to get these effects. In the first photo you can see that the train tracks, the rocks, and the trees are in focus but the light of the train are blurry. In the second photo, the boats and the water are in focus but the light of he stars are blurry. Some technical difficulties that the photography may have in counter is trying to keep the camera so still for so long. And they could of overcome this by using a tripod and putting it on very stable and flat ground.

Find an example of a photograph where the photographer has used a very fast shutter speed and describe the subject matter including the background. Discuss any technical difficulties the photographer may have encountered and how he or she may have overcome them. 

• Discuss what happened to the depth of field and why. 
• Discuss weather the image gives you the feeling of movement, stating the reasons for your conclusion.

 In these photos, the photographer used a very fast shutter speed to capture these images without blurring. They captured the subjects when they were in high speed motion but are almost frozen in time in the photos. Some technical difficulties the photographer may have encountered while taking these photos are being in focus and making sure that the photo did not come out blurry. And in each photo there is different depths of field. In the first photo, the photographer is very close to the bubble, so there is a low depth of field. But in the second photo, the photographer is farther away so you can see more of the background which creates a greater depth of field. These images give me a sense of motion because you can see the movement that was captured. In the first photo you can see the water dispersing from the finger. In the second photo, you can see the dirt being kicked up by the motion of the tires.
