Portrait Assignment

This week I took pictures for the Portrait Assignment . I had a wonderful experience of taking a different kind of photography. These portraits got me really into the creative side of photography. Taking pictures of people is a great way to get a good photo. On Friday night, I went to the pond and took pictures of two of my good friends. On Saturday, we went to my uncle's house and I took pictures of my family.










The portrait I have chosen for my final is this one. It was shot at an ISO of 400, a shutter speed of 1/160 of a second, and an aperture of f4.

    CJ, this is a great photograph. It captures a lot of emotion and has a great setting. The only thing I would suggest would be to experiment this same photo with the rule of thirds. It's a really good picture though. Good job!

    I really like this photo, i like how the two boys in the picture are not facing the camera like a more typical portrait photo. I think this picture is unique and I think it is nice how the boys in the picture are looking into the distance. The lighting and technical aspects for this picture are right on. I don't see any blur and the colors that the two boys look great with the greenish tint of the water. In my opinion this photo is very artistic. The way they are sitting on the wooden fence together captures there friendship in a simple way. I like how this picture was taken by a pond because I think it sort of represents happiness and being calm which is perfect for this picture. If you wanted to change this picture in any way the only thing I would say you could crop the picture a little bit more on the left side but other than that I don't have any recommendations to change your picture.

    I really do like this photo also. I really like how you used the depth of field as an advantage in your photo. There is not very many things that you can do better with this picture but there is one:rule of thirds. Other than that i like it. you even kind of used balance. Great job!!

    I really like this picture. It gives off a very peaceful emotion. The only suggestion I have is I wonder how this picture would look if the whole thing was in focus.
