Assignment #4





























For these pictures, I just wandered around the house messing with different things. Custom white balance is good. Not being able to crop is a pain. I'm glad my mom made those clove apples and kept the Chair of Rock's hideous twin.

TO ASK: I was really excited to shoot color theory with some leftover color powder from the festival last year, but in Lightroom the powder was crazy posterized. Unusable. So I checked my settings-- they're fine-- and my dad thinks it was because I was overexposing most of the shots by about a full stop. Thoughts?

Assignment #3

high key #1






















high key #1- camera happy
high key #2

high key #2- camera happy

low key #1
low key #1- camera happy



low key #2 
low key #2- camera happy




WHAT I LEARNED:

This assignment made it extra clear that my camera doesn't really know what 
the best exposure is for the picture I'm taking is. And that bracketing makes 
it nice to have lots of options between little differences in exposures when
I'm in post-processing. 
I also learned that I could use some more patience when doing still life 
photography. And that low key is a lot harder than high key. And that 
there is dust and dog hair on everything I own.
