WA 3, Draft 3: Through My Eyes (Photographer)

Eye

The shutter speed is slow and tiring. No matter how hard I try the image will not stay focused. If I stop down on the image and reduce the amount of light I am sure to fall asleep. If I change my depth of field by standing up the composition is sure to be greater and just might keep me awake. However, it is all controlled by my aperture.

Pupil

The aperture regulates the amount of light reaching the film. It changes depending on the how the light affects the composition of the photograph. To make a more contrasting and harsher picture we might let in lots of light to produce a shadow through the lens.

Window

The vertical and horizontal lines frame the image making for an interesting composition. The cold air fogs the lens as the ambient light streams through to create a surreal image. The writing from little children on the panes obstructs this ethereal world.

Trunk (of human)

The camera body supports the lens and keeps the image in focus. The support the camera body provides makes it heavy. Depending on how the camera is turned the composition of the picture will differ. The camera body sits atop the tripod which helps stabilize it so the picture will not be blurred.

Memory

A photograph stops the action of the subject. It’s a moment in time that is captured through the camera’s lens. The exposed film is taking a picture that can never be forgotten. The photo that is produced is a combination of how the person took the photo and how it was developed. If the composition is interesting everyone will be able to remember that moment forever.
