check yourself... answer to 5/29's Photo
most of you did good yesterday with the couple framed by the tree roots.
1. What is the subject? (bridge) which art element does it convey? (shape/form- outline of the bridge)
2. How is it lit? (outside with street light  - artificial lighting) what type of light do you see? (you see the light from the street lamps so it would be transmitted light).
3. Where is the subject placed in the picture? (the bridge took up most of the photo, but with cables holding up the structure). what composition do you see? leading line.
4. How would you set the camera up for a similar shot? (Iso 6400 - high ISO because it was dark, aperture and background are the same focus- f/32 with small opening, to get everything in focus; slow shutter speed, shorter time at 1/100 sec because it will allow more lights in due to small aperture (opening); and lastly, focal length was zoomed out at 20mm).
5. What is the message you get from looking at the picture? (cables leading to the bridge, lead you to the bridge from day to night time, transition - change over).
**********************************************************************************
continue with your PS#4 - Composition ABCs (suggesting to add 5 more letters K,L,M,N,O)
