(I just noticed that I never hit the send button on this post, sorry about that!)

Ming Yin’s primary suggestion for me was that some of my photos were too dark.  Some of the photos that he commented on were taken at very fast shutter speeds to intentionally make the photos dark, he felt that some were too dark.  I think that part of that is the monitor that they were viewed on since they didn’t look as dark on my computer at home.

I will be more conscious of the lighting and shutter speeds that I use and in the choosing of the photos that I post.

My partner suggested that my pictures should show more sun. I agree with my partner and I also think my photos should be clearer. I feel that my photos doesn’t show much of awful and fantastic then it suppose to. This week, I will find a location that has lots of sun and take photos that tells a story with other objects rather then just taking photos of buildings.

This morning in class today, we had to partner up and critique shoot one of our Final Project. The advice my partner gave me was to not edit the sky in one of my photos. I am going to go back with the original photo of the trees and blue skies. Other than that, she really liked my photos, especially of the different tree branches and the night sky.

Today I worked with Melissa, and one of the suggestions she gave me for the next shoots is to continue shooting in shallow depth of field, and close ups on the subjects. She also really liked the fact that some of my pictures were taken at night time, and therefore she recommended me to keep on doing that as well. Therefore, this week I will focus on taking more shallow depth of field pictures, and maybe even taking some pictures during the night time so it can create an interesting contrast of both, mood and colors.
