1. What part of the assignment was most difficult to demonstrate in your photos?
In my opinion as long I'm doing this assignments, I felt the most difficult part is balance because I can't took the best photo of balance. Good balance means that the simply of arrangement of shapes, colors, or areas of light and dark that complement one another so that the photograph look well-balanced.
2. Which of your photos do you think was the most successful, and why?
I think the most successful photos that have taken is framing. Both photos I used frame made by myself. It more easy to interpret framing.Although we have natural framing, I prefer used frame made because to find natural framing is difficult to capture.
3. How did this assignment change the way you view taking picture?
By doing this assignments it changed my views of taking picture with knowing what the exposure means. Exposure have 3 main things which is aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Aperture means how much light get in. Shutter speed means how long light is let in. ISO means sensitivity of image device. 3 of them is very important as a basic things when dealing in taking picture. Besides that, when taking picture, we should thinking the story telling in a picture we have taken, the definition, the powerful of the picture and the unique they have. In addition, I also learnt about angle which is we have high angle (bird eyes view) and low angle(worm eyes view) and normal view like we are always used. By knowing the basic things like I mentioned before, it changed a lot my view of taking picture.
4. Others thoughts on the process.
Other thoughts on the process is composition. Composition is a key element of good photographers. In composition there have 5 things we should consider when taking pictures. There are simplicity, the rule of thirds, lines, balance and framing. Based on all the basic composition, we will make our picture more interesting and purposely.Before take any picture, we should know what our objective or our purpose. Behind a picture, there have a lot of stories. Only photographer can interpret their own story.
