The hardest part about this assignment was adjusting my camera. As a person who only recently started using manual (used auto for 3+ years) and only just now started a photography class, getting the hang of adjusting the f-stop, shutter speed, and ISO is pretty difficult. However, I feel more connected to my work because I feel like I am making it the way it is, not my camera. It allows me to further understand my camera and how different parts relate to each other, but also how to adjust a camera for the appropriate situation.  In my mind, the picture of the flowers was the most successful. The image alone had good depth and clarity but I was able to draw out those qualities and exaggerate them to create a better image. In general, understanding the influence of light and how to control it with my camera has allowed me to become a better photography, although I still have a lot to do.

Composition (assignment 3)

(SS: 1/100, f-stop: 4.0, ISO: 200)

With this photo, I somewhat used rule of thirds, I could have done better with  it. I think that the lines from the shutters lead to the subject, allowing it to be clear. It is also simple, which allows the main aspects of the photo to become more clear.

(SS: 1/100, f-stop: 4.2, ISO: 400)

With this photo, I tried to frame the subject between the panels, which brought out good composition. This also allowed for the photo to be more or less symmetrical. Although the background is, there is one subject, in the center pain of the window.

(SS: 1/50, f-stop:4.5, ISO:200)

This photo, to me, has strong composition because of the focus on the eyes (primarily right, which is centered) and the simplification. The subject is clear, and there aren't any factors to distract from that.,The background is simple and consistent. The subject also fills the frame.
