ISO and Lighting

I took a picture of this reflective marker in the ground at my grandma’s house because I thought that it would reflect the sun really well and make it shiny. I was planning on taking pictures in their backyard when was walking back their I saw the marker out of the corner of my eye and thought it would be a great picture. I noticed the best way to take the picture would be with the sun behind the object to get the light to reflect and also to use contrasting colors with the tree line behind the red marker. I also didn’t center the marker and got close to see all of the different squares on the marker. This picture allowed me to see how color can emphasize what you are taking a picture of, especially when using contrasting colors. I incorporated my voice as an artist in this picture by having it outside. Most of my favorite picture are taken outside, that it what I enjoy taking pictures of so that is my voice. I think my strengths from this assignment include a variety of subjects and also having well focused day and indoor pictures. I think I could improve with my night pictures because I don’t think they turned out very well. I think that if I could change one thing it would be how long I waited to take the night pictures. I think this because I felt I might have had better pictures if I didn’t wait for the sun to fully set so I would still have some sun light.
