Light Drawing Photo:
1. The shutter speed I used to shoot this photo is 1''
2. I used a tripod for this photo, because I need the camera's location to stay static throughout the entire time I stood and moved my light, to make the picture stable.
3. The part of the image that shows motion is the light, I had to stand in the camera's focus and move a light around in a dark room. I made big swooping motions with my phone's light to make an orb-like drawing.
4. Compositional elements I used to strengthen the photo were shape, the light is in a circular shape.

My best photo is of Scott looking off into the distance while the sun hits his face, with a leaf on his nose. My photo was taken from a point of view that is slightly lower than my eye level, but straight on. I chose this point of view so I could capture lens flares and the sun in my image, adding to the deep shadows and bright whites. Photography techniques I used were lighting, cropping, edge of frame, and the rule of thirds. I used lighting when I caught the sun on the opposite side of his face to create harsh light and dark shadows. Then I used cropping and edge of frame when I placed the shot so his shoulder was in the corner of the frame so not all of him was in the shot. I used the rule of thirds when placing the back of his head in the top right while his chin is in the lower left. I used light to make bright whites and deep blacks, also I created nice mid tones using where the light wasn't hitting directly. The photograph that uses the best shallow depth of field is the one of Scott, or the one with the fire hydrant and the chain in focus. The photo I think used the best depth of field is the one of Scott or the one with the stone slab.

My best photo is the detail shot (really close) of the Cannon SLR camera, it is sitting on white fabric with a light shining on it to create good lighting. On my best photo I chose to shoot it from a bird's eye (above) point of view. I chose to photograph this Canon SLR because it look really cool, with all the mechanisms all over it. It isn't really significant to me, I just really like older technology such as this camera. Some techniques I used are edge of frame, lighting, and the rule of thirds. I used edge of frame in my detail shot to get really close, so it is coming up from one side. I used lighting with a photo setup, using a standing light to cast a light upon the camera. I used the rule of thirds by making sure a piece of the camera was in the bottom right and top left thirds of the shot. I do believe I used levels to achieve correct exposure/ contrast. I believe this because my blacks are really black and my whites very white, along with my middle tones being a nice shade of grey. I believe my worm's eye photos could use a little work in the exposure/ contrast area. My weakest image probably my far away shot, it looks like I am just snapping a photo, not trying to capture anything significant.
