The Post of The End

In my time that I spent in Photography Class I actually learned a lot more than what I ever expected. At first I thought it was a light class, but it turns out that the material that was introduced was actually quite dense in information. For example I actually thought we were just going to take pictures and upload them but it turns out there was so many things we needed to learn about before we could even use a camera. All in all I learned many things, like to look at things from different perspectives, and I also learned that I can be a good photographer now at any special occasions. 

In this first picture it is actually a metal gate that was at the edge next to the water when the class took it's first trip to NYC. My initial intentions were to actually catch the Island in the background while framing it in the square shape of the gate. It turns out when I uploaded the picture, my depth of field and focus point was all on the gate while the background was blurred out. After looking at the picture more, it came out better then what I wanted because it gives it a specific look, that makes people stop and try to examine the photo.

The next photo is one of my favorites, because when I took the picture I was not trying to get anything special. I just wanted to take a picture of an old telephone from a weird point of view. When I looked at the photo the angle and perspective of the picture was one where it kid of looks like a gargoyle, or a mask of some sort. It turns out many people look at it and are drawn in by it's mysterious appearance.

The last photo was taken in the New York City Public Library, and it was particularly intriguing because it looks like I took this picture in pitch darkness of the night. The truth is there was a window right next to it that would come out over-exposed on the camera. So what I decided to do was turn down the exposure to about -3/-4 and the camera only caught the light radiating from soft lighting of the chandeliers. It was a great mixture of light to absolute darkness.
