Taking pictures of my son, Joey, is always a “hit and miss” experience. However, he was very excited to help me with my homework, while we played at the park. We were towards the end of the day (4pm) and the sun hung in the west, about a third of the way to the horizon line, with very little cloud cover, however there were quite a few trees causing shade.

CAMERA SETTINGS
WB: Sunny
Aperture: F20
Shutter Speed: 1/125
ISO: 1000
ABOUT THESE IMAGES:
In Photoshop – all I did was adjust his eyes, so that they were more piercing. I achieved this by isolating his eyes with the magnetic lasso, and then increased the brightness, contrast and vibrance.
Compositional elements – I believe the pier creates a frame around Joey, also they are lines that draw the eye to the rear of the picture

ABOUT THESE IMAGES:
In Photoshop – with the deep depth of field, I had to decrease the exposure and brightness of the image, so that it matched the coloring of the shall depth of field example.
Compositional elements – I feel that lines are used here, you almost wonder what he is looking at in the water (to be honest, they were weird fish, that saw us sitting by the water, and were expecting us to feed them, so they were lining up.) I think if I cropped the picture, I may be able to achieve the rule of thirds.

CAMERA SETTINGS
WB: Sunny
Aperture: F6.3
Shutter Speed: 1/500
ISO: 2000
ABOUT THIS IMAGE:
In Photoshop - Using the magnetic lasso, I isolated the background of the image, and I increased the vibrance of the image. I, then, inverted the lasso, and decreased brightness while increasing the contrast of the image. On the whole image I decreased the gamma correction of the image.

Compositional Elements: I believe symmetry is obtained in this image
I believe that I achieved the requirements of this assignment in all of these images. I find the images to be sharp, and eye catching (but, I’m biased, I really like my kid). I believe the images of him sitting on the pier to be a tad dark, I may want to adjust the exposure of the image, or just brighten him. I also wish that I captured the photo of him on the bridge better, since he is slightly blurred, and the bridge is more in focus.
