Shutter Speed

Two things that shutter speed effects are light and movement.

ISO

In the first picture i used flash and this caused the picture to look really bright, and it's difficult to see the Christmas lights in the background. The second picture was taken with ISO5000 and this made the lights stand out and the person is also visible.t picture was taken with ISO50 and as you can see is extremely dark. The lights are visible but seem way to blurry and you cant even tell there's a person there! The difference between the three pictures is that flash just makes it bright but not great, and Low ISO is mainly used for too bright backgrounds not inside and the last ISO (5000) is made for this type of picture and looks the best.

Light Metering

What I did here was take two different photos using metering. In the first photo I focused on the computer screen. Once the camera had the focus I moved away from the screen to be able to have the girl and the screen in the picture. This caused the screen to be overexposed yet you could see the girl. In the second photograph I focused on the color of her skin so that it would make her brighter instead of the screen. It is important that you use metering to catch the light something gives of and it is better to have something unimportant over exposed and be able to see the emphasis than to have a whole lot of dark. Metering is good for pictures that come out really dark so that you can actually see something in the photo.

Personal Metaphor

I chose the metaphor “I feel curious like a raccoon” to represent how curios I always am. I wanted to capture a joyful, innocent mood because that’s how I see raccoons. I placed myself in the center to show strong emphasis. My background is quite boring, but this is only because there were a lot of different things going on and I didn’t want that. I feel that my composition is balanced because I show great contrast. I do believe that my image is unified but not a lot. I think I did a good job on making my face like a raccoon. The difficult part was trying to decide which parts to leave a lone and which to make different on my body. I could have made a lot of changes, such as make it look more realistic and a better background. I would defiantly change my background.
