Photo assignment 1, animal.

    For this assignment we were given some freedom, we got to choose what we wanted to take pictures of. Originally I thought I was going to work on portraits of people, but I ended up getting sick and not being able to leave the house. Instead I chose to capture images of my dogs. I have a few pictures of both. My one dog Tillie who's black and white, tends to always have her nose in something. She's a very curious dog. I started taking pictures of my other dog Herby who's fully black white a small white spot on his chest. And as soon as I pulled out the camera, Tillie came over and was very curious as to what it was that I had in my hands.

   This is the best image that I was able to take.

   Technical data

   *shutter speed: 1/60

   *aperture: 4.5 

   *ISO: 800

     For this specific photo I brightened the picture a little, not but much. I also brightened a few of the other pictures I took. That's all the editing I did for this assignment.

     What I learned during this assignment is that when capturing images of animals its hard to get their attention if you want their face in the picture. I also learned that paying attention to the shutter speed and the aperture can be challenging while keeping the animals attention.
