Photo Critique

The photographer probably took this photo from a boat or a pier. It makes me think 0f a raging, dark storm roaming across the sea, ready to take out any loan sailors in it's path.

This photo was obviously taken at night and the photographer most likely used a high ISO. It gives me a feeling of serenity and calming. As if this is a memorial for the friends and family that have past or possibly a radiant garden of lights to gaze upon while dining.
It looks as if the photographer used a low ISO and a fast shutter speed. American soldiers sit and open mail from there friends and loved ones. The one of few pleasures in the service. As they read over and over the writing they imagine the voices in their heads and wish the were right there next to them.

Self Portrait

Self Portrait Examples

1. This photograph portrays a depressing and dark feeling to it.

2. It seems to have natural lighting, although it's some what hard to tell with the black and white filter.

3. The frame is important because it shows that the girl is there and even captures her image perfectly in the mirror.

4. Across the girls face is a red streak that lights up her eyelashes a bit. This self portrait sort of relates to my idea, because I like the whole mysterious and dark look.
1. This photograph portrays a thoughtful and calm look.

2. Natural window lighting is used in this photo to light up the subjects face and create shadows behind him.

3. Though you can't see the window the frame is important in this to hide the source of light to make a feeling of creativity and thoughtfulness.

4. I noticed he used a black and white filter. This fits together with my idea very well especially with black and white editing.

Photo Critique

This photo is of a indian wrestler splash hands full of mud against his face. The photographer probably used a fast shutter speed to capture that certain moment. At first, when I saw this picture, I got a feeling of a sandman falling apart and attempting to hold himself together with his still human hands.
