Eiffel Tower vs. Photo Booth

What has more significance, the Eiffel Tower or the first photo booth. Both inventions have had a major impact. Although I believe that the Eiffel Tower has more of a significance than the photo booth because It's a one of a kind architectural land mark. There are many photo booths around the world but only one Eiffel Tower. Modern day technology such as the front view camera on cell phones has allowed people to take pictures easily and quick. Not many photo booths are seen around the world and soon they maybe surpassed by much more advanced modern technology. Soon the photo booth will become a mere antique.The Eiffel Tower on the other hand is a proud land mark that will stand for years to come and has been a famous attraction to everyone around the world. People from many places come to visit the city of paris to see the Eiffel tower.

Photo Booth

Comic Book: I like this filter because I like the pixel effect that it makes

Black and White: I like this filter because it a portrays a mood of boredness and sadness. It also remind me of the old days when pictures weren't in color.

Pop Art: I like this filter because it's colorful.

Color Pencil: I like this filter Because I like the pencil effect.

Glow:I like this filter because of the glow effect that it makes and how it portrays light and dark.

Composition of Photography

The website digital-photography-school demonstrates the five elements of  composition for photography. These rules are familiar from the ones I was taught in photo one. the five elements are pattern, symmetry, texture, depth of field, and lines. These elements are used or seen in photography. Their helpful rules on how to take "good" photos. On the other hand the website photographymad. demomnstrates 10 rules for composition, 5 rules more than the previous website. Nonetheless it was technically a review for me since I learned most of the stuff in photo one. the last website photo.tutsplus goes into even more depth with 14 rules. Some were similar if not the same as the rules of the previous websites but it includes other helpful rules such as the one were it advices not to be perfect because photos may not come out the way you like them but sometimes it comes out better.

Assignment #1: Looking at Light

The overall feeling of having people stare at you or staring at someone in silence is just awkward. It was one of those awkward moments. I had to actually stare at my partners stand under a sky light and study the light showering them from above. One of my partners was wearing a black shirt which absorbed the light. From the angle that I was staring at her from, the light was most visible at the top part of head and the faded into shadow at the bottom. Another one of my partners was wearing a white shirt which reflected the light to her face creating a more light effect, diluting the shadows. My next partner was wearing a peach shirt which created an effect similar to that of the white shirt but less. From the angle that I was looking at her, I could only see the side of her face that the light hit while the other side was obscured from my vision.My other partner was wearing glasses which reflected the light but also, it created a shadow on her face, the outlining of the glasses. My final partner was wearing leopard print blazer, I didn't really notice much of an effect on the light.
