The Story...

This picture tells the best story because it shows the conductor and it also shows the band in front of her. I like how you can tell that it's raining, not only because of the fog/rain in the background but also the fact that she's wearing rain boots. It really adds her personality to the picture. I think that the story of the picture  is that after a hard day of practice, the band travels to the football game, gets everything set up and starts to play in the stands. As they are just finishing their first song, the rain starts to come down. To protect the instruments they load back up in the busses to wait out the rain. The Drill team, cheerleaders and half of the people in the stands leave because of the rain. During half time, the Drum line and Drum Major go out onto the field and start to play.

Thats what i think of this picture:)

Biography:

Ansel Adams was born in 1902 to Olive and Charles Adams, their only child, and died in 1984 from heart failure which was caused by his cancer. He was a photographer and a conservationist who was born in San Fransisco, California. He was a commercial photographer for 30 years and took photographs of western landscapes. His inspiration came from a childhood trip to Yosemite National Park in 1916. He won three Guggenheim grants to photograph the nation's national parks. 

 

Pinhole Finale:)

Differences:

   My negative is the exact opposite of my positive. The colors are swapped and also the left side of the positive is on the right side of the negative.

 Photography Definition:

negative,  photographic image that reproduces the bright portions of the photographed subject as dark and the dark parts as light areas. Negatives are usually formed on a transparent material, such as plastic or glass. Exposure of sensitized paper through the negative, done either by placing the negative and paper in close contact or by projecting the negative image onto the paper, reverses these tones and produces a positive photographic print.
Black-and-white negatives consist of grains of metallic silver chemically reduced during the development process from silver salts struck by light during exposure.
Colour negatives consist of three tonally reversed dye images that are formed along with a silver image during development. Chemical removal of the silver images leaves the three insoluble dye images superimposed in register. Some modern black-and-white films also use insoluble dyes to form the negative

Avoiding Mergers

This picture is slightly amusing to me because it looks like the girl who is bent over has spikes and smoke coming out of her back. The photographer wasn't looking for mergers or else he/she would have chosen a different view point that didn't make her look like a dragon. Also the could have avoided another merger by moving over a little to the left so he didn't get the random guy's arm in the picture.

Framing:)

This picture is the perfect picture for framing, the only thing i don't like is the light post sticking into the picture. But other than that, the stark contrast of the black buildings and the bright blue sky is very nice. also the way you can see the towers between the two is perfect image of framing.
