I chose to take pictures of me with my animals! Animals are a huge part of my life so I thought they were perfect examples.

Macro

I chose to take my photos of hands. I feel like hands have so many small details that the macro can really express. I learned how shallow the depth of field really is with macro lenses. There is a very small portion that is in focus with a macro so you have to be very still when focusing on the area you actually want in focus. I liked these five images because they were the most focused and detailed!

Portraits

I chose to try environmental and detail. I like the way you can use the environment to create a nice background. I chose these five because I thought her emotion was best in these. The lighting and exposure was also the best in these five photos. 

Landscapes

I chose these photos because I likes the composition of each of them. The exposure and lighting turned out the best in each of these photos. I chose to take the landscape photos while I was on a hike in Hawaii, The deep green colors really added to the landscape photos. I realized landscape photos don't look as good when the colors are dull, I tried taking photos of some other areas but they ended up looking plane and uninteresting because of the small amount of color and contrast. 

Cubomania

I wanted to use circles because I think they add a cool effect. I kept the waterfall intact but switched around the trees.

Food

 I liked the shadow and lighting in this photo of the strawberry.

I liked the reflection of the light in the can in this photo. 

I think the blur turned out cool because you can tell what the object is but you still have the blur effect. 

I liked the soda on the edge of the can. Its a common thing we usually don't notice. 

I wanted to take a photo of food humans don't eat.

Shadows

It was really fun to experiment with different shadows. There are so many cool ways you can use light and shadow to portray what you saying! I had a really fun time doing this assignment. I realized where the light is positioned is a huge factor. If the light is closer the shadow is going to be much bigger, and even less sharp, whereas when the light was farther back the shadow became clear and sharp.
