shutter speed




The shutter speed allowed how much light the photo had.Also the shutter speed deals with the motion or action in the picture. It takes out the blur and makes the image clear. The shutter speed is represented in fractions of a second. You could use the shutter mood to manipulate the shutter's speed. In my photos i should have made the shutter speed longer. I didnt allow enough light to get in so my images appear dark. I did a got job of making my images clear without blur.

iso




The iso setting also controled how much light your picture contained. The iso setting is similar to the meter control, but the iso creates light when there isn't any light at all. The meter control just puts an emphasis on light that's already present in the photo.

Light metering




In this project we where learning the functions of the new cameras. The different settings can be confusing at frst but once you earn them or master the use of them it will be very helpful to you. The light metering to is used to conrtol the volume or amount of light that is seen in a image. In this photos we metered each picture by pressing the capture button halfway while approaching the computer screen.Then, we backed up and snapped the photo.

Personal Metaphor


Metaphor

I chose to compare my self as a Gatorade. I turned my torso into a Gatorade bottle with the grape liquid showing. I chose to say I am Gatorade because at that moment and time I felt cool and refreshed. I felt this way because I was fresh off the basketball season, which can cause a lot of stress, so when it was over I felt a lot of weight lifted off my shoulders. I felt that when the season was over I could just have fun and do other things besides focusing all my time and effort on basketball. The mood I tried to express was a laid back or complacent mood. Also I wanted my demeanor to cool because a Gatorade beverage is usually served when it’s cold.

My composition was done pretty well. I chose to use my background to show a strong contrast between my background and the metaphor. My background was in a hot desert looking area with the sun really shining. I chose this because my metaphor was me changing my self in a Gatorade so, the background meant I needed to stay cool and refreshed in the hot sun. My focal point of my composition was my torso. My torso is where I changed my self into liquid Gatorade. It’s strong because it grabs the attention of the person looking at the picture. I don’t think my picture had very good balance but it was decent. My picture feels somewhat in my opinion. I believe it depends on the person’s point of view observing the image.Metaphor

I think my creativity was the best attribute of my image. I believe this because people don’t compare themselves to sports drinks everyday. It was difficult changing or expressing my self as Gatorade and becoming the bottle. I could have changed my background and made it relate to my metaphor better. Also I could have worked harder in photo shop and extra effort. I wouldn’t really change anything but I would just enhance my image as a whole.
