This is a photo of Paul Strand. I really like this because I can't tell what it is. It's abstract to me. It looks like a car but I'm not sure. I really like how it's black and white and the shadows and light are also very cool. I really like how the light hits and how it creates fading shades of gray on the car and darker shadows. The bottom of it kind of looks like a window with lines on it, but when you look at it whole then it's not a window anymore.

Fixed Bracketing



This image was kinda hard to fix because when the candle looked good then the windows would be way too bright. I had to choose a darker image to work with so that the highlights would be better and the candle would look better as well. After fixing the blacks, highlights, and candle, it looked way better. I'm really happy I cropped out the side of it because it had the side of a chair in it which was very distracting, so I cropped it.

Assignment 1 Bracketing




This is really weird because it made the dark one darker than it was and the light one lighter than it really was so....I don't like these brackets as much as the flower ones but that one didn't have any light ones because it was a different way to do it.

I shot this photo for the bracketing assignment and I really like the brightness of the flowers. How they're yellow is really pretty and I also like the light hitting on the vase. I just wanted to get through the assignment so I just chose an object close to the window for natural light and shot it. Haha. I shot this in the morning at about 11 so yeah.

every single one of my photos is always cut off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! uggh!!!!!!!!!!



I really like this image by Shomei Tomatsu. I love how her black hair pops against the white and light gray of the pillowcase and covers. Her face is also very pretty and the shadows are awesome in the photo. The shadows on her arm and collarbone create a depth of her own body and skin. I love how she doesn't have much of a facial expression and it makes it even more beautiful because the whole thing is simple. I just absolutely love the shadows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
