Depth of Field Reflection Questions

1.) The best picture in this assignment would be the can of soda because I think it was my best example of low depth. Overall, I think low depth was easier to represent compared to high depth.

2.)  The weakest photo would be the leaves. I feel as though it doesn't look like high depth as if it's just a photo.

3.) The weak photo can be improved by retaking the photos and focusing the camera while striving to the goal.

4.) I used Photoshop and the tools I used were brightness/contrast, levels, color balance, and vibrance.

5.) The goal of this assignment was to take pictures of objects using different apertures and settings on the camera.

6.) The easy part about this assignment was editing because with my knowledge, it's fast and easy. Also finding examples of low depth.

7.) The hard part about this assignment was trying to find good examples of high depth because I struggled with high depth.

8.) If I were to repeat this project, I would take more photos and find better examples of high depth.

9.) On a scale of 1-10, I'd give my self a 6 because I put more effort in this than the last assignment but I feel as though I can do better.

Back Lighting Reflection Questions

1.) The best picture in this assignment would be the one at sunset because I personally like the colors and how the tree is placed on the left.

2.) The weaker shot of course would be the other photo where the sun is peaking out behind the trees. It's the weakest because I just don't like the way this came out. It looked more odd than the other.

3.) The weak photo(s) can be fixed in the future if I retake it and put more effort in the way I take pictures.

4.) I used Photo Shop and in Photo Shop i used the tools Color Balance, Levels, and Brightness and Contrast.

5.) I met the goal by taking photos of back lighting where the light is behind the object making it more focused on the silhouette.

6.) The easy part of the assignment was editing because I find it neat to edit know that I understand the controls and what looks good.

7.) The difficult part about the assignment is the taking pictures part. It was difficult because I had to go out at a certain time of day for the right lighting.

8.) I would take more pictures with more diversity so that my options are open.

9.) In this project I'd give myself a 4 because I didn't meet the goal of 30+ photos and giving myself options because I think I was lazy and tired this time around.

Back Lighting

Texture and Lighting

Reflection Questions Texture

1.) The best picture of the assignment would be the picture of the tree bark because I like the texture shown and the depth of the image and it's better than the other ones.

2.) I think the weakest picture would be the tree branches because I think I could've done a better angle to prove more depth and I think it needed more focus. Overall I think they all needed better angles.

3.) The weakest photo can be improved by taking more pictures of it at better angles and more focus.

4.) I used Photoshop. The tools I used in Photoshop were levels, vibrance, color balance, and brightness/contrast.

5.) I was able to meet the goal by getting up close and getting the texture of things as well as doing my best and being creative.

6.) The easy part about this assignment was probably editing because now that I know how to do it it's easy.

7.) The hardest part about this assignment would be taking the actual pictures because I had to get up close and get down to try and get good angles.

8.) If I did this assignment over again, I'd try to find more pics of different textures since some of the photos i shown other people did too such as the tree bark. I'd also get better angles.

9.) I would rate this project an 8 because I think I tried harder in this project than the other one Also because now I have a little knowledge I personally think I did better.

Do Now Ansel Adams

Ansel Adams masters in landscapes and texture. he brings out texture keeping focus and taking his time with his photos also by the lighting he uses. I think his work is very neat because its very clear and focused and looks like it has a lot of effort into it.
