Shutter Speed

This was the shutter speed trial. We were to focus on part of our partner and then have the rest of the picture be blury

ISO

In order to explore ISO, I took some photos. The first photo is using the auto flash that occurs when there is not sufficient light to view the object

being photographed. However, the flash takes

away the other natural lightings effects. The second photo is using an ISO of 50. This photo did not open the sutter for a long amount of time in order to allow light in. The light that was allowed in let only the lights to be seen. The third picture is of ISO 5000. This picture allowed more light in and allowed there to be more colors visible. The ISO can be used to take pictures of objects that are in less light or to take pistures of lights.

Light Metering

For the metering pictures I changed what the focus was on. I used the shutter speed mode and decided what the focus would be on. I focused the camera on the computer screen for the first one and then on her skin for the second one. In order to present the focus on an object, the camera was only pushed halfway down when the object to be photographed was being looked at. Then the camera's button was completely pushed down when everything wanted in the picture was in sight.

Personal Metaphor

The metaphor I chose was that I feel like “A Fish In A Pool With No Where To Go.” I chose this metaphor because I feel trapped within the world’s chaos and other life aspects. I feel as though I cannot picture the direction or path that I should go in. I wanted to express my feelings of being alone and needed to be doing something. I wanted a calm yet active mood of going somewhere yet going no where.

I think the composition of my metaphor is organized. I have three lines in my picture. The lines are of the pools tile, my form, and the text. I put these three lines to create boundaries of some sort. I feel trapped so it was important to make boundaries. The center is the greatest focus because that is where the action is taking place. My original body has darker colors so that attracts more attention. My tail makes me look odd/different and attracts attention because of it. I think my picture is unified because it makes sense; A fish belongs in water and if in a container it is trapped. The color ranges go great with each other because they differ but emphasize each other.

I think I did many things well and that I could have done better on other parts. I think I did a good job at creating the fish person because I started from scratch with a small fish to work with. There was difficulty in determining how to use effects to alter the tail to make it look more realistic. I could have mad e the tail more realistic, though I could not figure out how to make the tail like covered in liquid. I wouldn’t change a thing because I love the colors ad the composition that compliments each other.
