Week 2-What I learned

This week, we are still on the process of learning architectural photography. Some of us started working on our architecture project. I still struggled with finding the right exposure for architectural photos. Changing the shutter speed or aperture, I tried to make my photo look better by doing those. We had a chance to take architectural photos around campus. Composition is the key point to make architectural pictures to look more interesting. Rather than showing the audiences a picture of building, a creative aspect of architectural photo can express an emotion to the audiences. I took one picture in the locker room downstairs. It has a blurry background while one of the locker is in focus. I enjoy this picture because it emphasizes one locker instead of showing all the lockers at once. The reflection cast by the flash on the camera makes the picture more interesting. I also used the basic image adjustment to edit some of the pictures, in order to make more color contrast in the picture.
