Reflection Questions: Depth of Field

I think the best shot in this assignment was the second one (low depth of field because it was clear that the focus was on the background. The first picture was the weakest because it wasn't as clear what the focus was on. It could have been improved if the fire hydrant was more blurry.
On Photoshop I edited the levels and the hue/saturation. I was able to meet the goal for this assignment by taking multiple photos and using my camera to make the main focus either low or high depth of field. For this assignment it was easy to take a lot of pictures because there were so many different things to photograph. It was difficult to make sure the quality of the picture was good because sometimes the camera would not go in focus. If I could do this assignment again I would have taken more pictures and gotten closer to some of the objects. I would rate my effort a 9 because I took many pictures and edited them to make them look better but could've done more.

Composition: Points to Ponder

Image
1. This picture shows  simplicity  because there is no background distraction and the focus is on one object.   2. This picture shows brightness and sharpness because it is colorful and the picture is clear and not grainy.  3.

Reflection Questions: Motion Photography

I think my best shot in this assignment is the 4th one because it's in blurred motion and it clearly shows the objects movement, the colors are also appealing to the eye. The weakest shot in this assignment was the 2nd one because the color of the dye dropped in the water was close to the same color as the water so it wasn't as clear. I think the 2nd picture could have been improved if the water was clean or if I used a darker dye. I used Photoshop to edit the levels and the hue/saturation. I was able to meet the goals for this assignment by having people move different lighting up objects while I took many pictures. It was easy to take the blurred motion photos because I had people move the objects in different ways to create different looks in the pictures. It was difficult to take stop motion pictures because the color of the water was close to the color of the dye. If I could do this assignment again I would take different photos to show stop motion. On a scale from 1-10 I ...
