My top two pictures are my childhood memory photos, and my bottom two pictures are my choice photos. My first photo I used a fast shutter speed to capture the movement of the tissue paper. I wanted to capture and convey the happiness and eagerness of opening up presents on Christmas, something hopefully everyone, not just kids can relate to. In my second photo, I took a picture of my cousin popping bubble wrap and cropped the photo to create emphasis on him. I remember playing with bubble wrap as a kid and wanted my viewers to feel nostalgic like I did. For my first choice photo, I used the elements to my advantage. The light post and falling snow created contrast within my picture and also emphasis on the light post that was balanced by the snow flurries. My final photo used rule of thirds with no balancing elements. I wanted all of the focus to be on the tank. Again, I liked the contrast of the tank and the snow; I wanted to let the unique rust and blue color come through by itself. I adjusted the ISO as well so the snow wasn’t overpoweringly white, adding to my point of letting the tank stand out.
My top two pictures are my composition photos, and my bottom two pictures are my choice photos. My first photo’s emphasis was on contrast and cropping. The white background and cropped surrounding put the emphasis on the blue bird house. My second photo’s emphasis was on symmetry/patterns and ground. Most of the picture is taken of the ground and the white road creates contrast, yet it also splits the picture into two, creating symmetry in the photo. In my third picture I played around with aperture. I set my aperture to the smallest number, leaving all of the focus on the leaf and creating less depth of field. In my last picture, I changed my point of view slightly and went under the flag. I also like how assymetrical the photo is. The left side is very busy, yet the right side is blank; I think it makes the picture more interesting and unique compared to most other photos. I also played around with the ISO to get the desired light on the picture so it wasn’t so bright.
