Creative - In this section I focused on different point of views with my shoes. I captured some friends' shoes but also captured some completely unorthodox shoes like my soccer cleats and some baby shoes from when I was a little boy.
Technical - For this section of chapter 5, I decided to choose 3 photos to edit because I actually had a lot of fun with this one. The first photo was a snapshot of a zoomed in berry on a plant near the school. The second photo is a shot of a large tree just outside my balcony. I've known this peculiar tree all of my life and I decided I would incorporate it into my project. The third one is a small disco ball that a good friend of mine gave me. I have always had it and I did not realize that the small object could make for some very interesting photos. I mentioned what I have done to each photo beneath them in the description of each shot below.
Self - Reflective - For this section I captured photos that I though were symmetrical and asymmetrical. I mainly prefer to take symmetrical photos because a lot of architecture in todays culture is symmetrical on the outside. Symmetrical can also mean organization which we humans like to incorporate into our daily lives.
Influential - For this section I chose various Skyline shots that I found on Flickr. In clockwise order from the top left: 1) Cuba Gallery, 2) Cuba Gallery, 3) Cuba Gallery, 4) Nicholas Morris. I chose this section because I was really intrigued by the photos when I first saw them. They were extraordinarily vivid, with some of them being very high up. I learned that most of them do not take photos from inside the city. They travel to a vantage point to capture the city in its entirety, instead of capturing small parts inside the city itself. Flickr does a good job of telling my what the people used as their camera settings and by viewing those I can conclude that they turn their f/stop low, set their shutter speed to 30 seconds, and use a tri-pod.
Thematic - In this section I chose my cat as my overall theme. He brings me joy and excitement in my life, so I find it only fair to capture him and give him the spotlight he deserves.
