1. I do have a strong composition.
2. I edited them really good because the picture even shines.
3. I would get better angles and frame the subject better so people don’t have to ask what type of assignment did I do.
4. I don’t think it deserves to get posted because I honestly think I could’ve done better I didn’t put my all into this assignment because I was being lazy

A good portrait is an image of a person that manages to tell a story. A good portrait evokes emotion. Composition is a combination of the scene on the ground and the scene within your head. For portraits people choose to have high angles in order to also capture stuff in the background. You can add the composition to add balance to the entire frame. A good portrait also should have potential visual story telling. In some cases you can make the background much more dominant. Soft natural light is also good in portraits. In the portraits having story telling is good because in some cases pictures could look sad. Also there should be space in the picture so there is more to look at.

DSLR means Digital Single Lens Reflex. DSLR has a mirror system inside that lets you preview through the viewfinder the same image that is being captured on film/sensor. One thing that makes DSLR different is they are different from consumer point and shoot cameras or phones: detachable lenses. They have prime and zoom lenses. They also have kit lens. Prime lens only has one focal length. Zoom lenses has variable focal lengths. Kit lens has a basic lens that comes with a camera body in a kit usually not too expensive. For lens focal length if it is less then 21 mm the terminology would be extreme wide angle. If it is 21-35 mm it is called a wide angle. For 35-70 mm it is called normal. Then for 70-135 mm it is called medium telephoto. And finally for 135-300+ mm it is telephoto. The focus has AF (autofocus) and MF (manual focus). You have to learn how to properly focus a zoom lens. There is a thing called exposure that has ISO aperture and shutter speed. There is some metaphors to understand how exposure is determined such as window garden house and tanning. High ISO value means the sensor will be more sensitive to light. Which means it will take less light to get the right exposure. While choosing ISO you have to choose if you want lower ISO which means more available light or higher ISO which means less available light. You have to choose shutter speed based on the situation such as higher speed is to capture fast action. The shutter speed is how long the shutter is open. The 180-degree Shutter Speed rule is that the shutter in a camera is half a circle (180 degrees). So it means your shutter speed should be double your frame rate. Typical NTSC frame rate is 30 frames per second.

The reason I chose this picture was because it makes you want to walk into the picture. Another reason is because it is a picture they from a bottom angle. It has a lot of color on the picture. It also has a lot of stuff to look at.

The reason I chose this picture was because the shadow makes the picture pop out. It makes the picture look better. It also makes the picture good because there’s another shadow to it.

 

I like this textured picture because you can see a lot of stuff there. There is rocks and lines that makes the picture school. There is a lot of little designs if you really look into the picture good. There is a lot of colors in the picture that makes it look good. The picture is very interesting.
