iso

In each one of these photos the ISO is different. The first one has the lowest amount of ISO and this makes the photograph very dark and blurry. I learned that the higher the ISO then the more light is let in. In the second photo the ISO is 1600 and you can actually see the difference in this one and the first one which actually had an ISO of 400. In the last photo the ISO is 5000 which helps a lot because you can actually see more detail in the picture although it remains blurry. ISO can cause a very drastic change in a photo depending on the current lighting. ISO has helped me improve a lot of my pictures because there isn't always settings with the perfect lighting conditions.

light metering

In the photograph on the top I took the camera in close to her skin color and captured the picture. In the one on the bottom I focused the camera lens on the computer screen and then also took a picture of her. This caused the photo to become really dark because it had been focused on he computer screen which was very light. What is happening in these two photos are the effects of the focus and the lighting. This can help you if you are ever takling a picture in the dark.

The concept of my personal metaphor was to express my feelings. I chose to be a mermaid because I felt that would express my feelings of being out of place. The mood that I wanted to capture for my metaphor was lonely.

In my photograph I placed myself leaning on a rock while lying on the ground. I decided to place myself here because you could see only the dryness of the ground and the plants in my surroundings. I feel that my composition is balanced for the most part because the picture actually looks as if I am a mermaid. I also feel that my image is much unified because it goes with the statement that I typed on the photo.

One thing that I think I did very well was made the shadow of the mermaid on the ground and on the rock. A shadow is a very important part of making a picture seem realistic and I feel like I captured that. The most difficult thing to do in this picture was making the bottom half of my body match the lighting on the top half. I think that I could have made myself look more like a mermaid if I actually spent more time. If I could change anything I would change the brick wall that is in the background of my picture.

the Aesthetic Experience

This experience made me recognize how things can start off so small and not completely destroy something. But if you don't catch it in enough time than it can completely ruin it. The clear water inside the cup represents what is pure and not yet destroyed. The blue dye represents what is slowly overpowering the clear water.
