This is a photograph I took in Paris two weeks ago. I like the composition of it with the ferris wheel off to the right side in the foreground of the picture and the building with the french flag more toward the center. I also like the fountain shooting straight up next to the ferris wheel. The colors of the sky are nice too.
Alfred Eisenstaedt
Alfred Eisenstaedt (Dec 6, 1898 - Aug. 24, 1995) was a German-American photographer and photojournalist. He is best known for is candid photos, which is typically took using a 35mm Leica rangefinder camera. His most famous photographer was take at the celebration of V-J Day, in which a sailor is kissing a nurse. Eisenstaedt worked as a photographer for Life Magazine for 36 years. His work, including photographs of celebrities like Sophia Loren and Ernest Hemmingway, appeared on multiple Life Magazine cover. This is a photograph by Eisenstaedt. I like how he takes a very innocent photo of children sitting at a desk in school. He only photographs the children's feet with ballet slippers on. Yet you can still still imagine the children's faces, and that they are anxiously awaiting their ballet lessons as soon as class is over.
Film Structure
Film captures the image formed by light reflecting from the surface which is being photographed. Film contains crystals, often silver halide, which can change the structure when provoked by light. It is likely that films that are less sensitive have finer grains that are close together and films that are more sensitive have courses grains which are more spread out. The grains are touched by photons of lights and the grain transforms into a latent states. So after a while, the photons build up a latent state and it sticks there, and then can develop. All the silver halide gains reside in some emulsion layer depositing at the base of the layers of film. Color film has three different emulsion layers, for three different kinds of silver halide, which are sensitive to 3 different light wavelengths.
