Studies in Aperture
UPDATE: I DO understand aperture, but my lens is broken. My lens does not adjust the aperture however I may change the setting on the display, so I am stuck at a small aperture until I get that fixed.
I am going to be upfront with this; I really don't really understand aperture. I understand the concept: small number, maximum aperture, less in focus/smaller depth of field; large number, minimum aperture, more in focus/greater depth of field. And I can see it in photos, just not mine, but that's why I am in this class. I'll post more photos when I figure it out. But until then...
f/4.5, 1/30", ISO 1100
f/20, 1/20", ISO1600
f/4.5, 1/50", ISO 1600
f/29, 1/20", ISO 800
f/20, 1", ISO 100
f/4.5, 1/13", ISO 640

Through the Looking (Sun)Glass
In class, Mr. Barrick talked about extraneous light and how it can cloud or over expose photos. Photographers use polarized filters to deal with this issue, but Mr. Barrick told us to try it out with our sunglasses. So here are a few dabbles in sunglass filtered photography.

3 Photos I Like
A bridge over an inlet on Martha's Vineyard. This photo shows the the action of jumping off the bridge (explicitly forbidden by the sign) at every step.
A spiral staircase in the Highland Lighthouse outside Provincetown, MA. I like this photo because of the contrast between light and dark of the light bulb, the silhouette of the stair case, and its shadow, as well as the texture of the bricks. I also enjoy contrasting lines, the bricks, steps, banisters, and shadows.
I just love this photo.
