During this exercise we went out and took photos in groups. We could take a picture of anything we wanted that had to do with architecture. I shot a photo of the vents on the side of the drinking fountain. The patterns of the vent caught my eye. After editing, I would try to shoot straighter and try to stay symmetric because that shot would've been perfect fo it. I also learned that I would try to shoot in a more exposed area because the vents were a little underexposed.
The editing process was fairly easy. My photo wasn't difficult or complicated so editing wasn't a pain. I just had trouble making it evenly straight because I had shot it at an angle. I feel like I could work on the white balance editing because it can get a little tricky and if you don't fix it right it'll look unnatural. Sharpening the image is a little hard too because sometimes when you sharpen it too much it'll look grainy. I like the process though, and my partner Lizzy worked great with me. We went through the exercise without any problems and we both input into the editing.

Thursday Thoughts
January 24th, 2013
Today we learned about ISO and white balance. It was quite confusing until we got to try it out for ourselves. ISO, the boring dictionary definition, is the camera's sensitivity to light. The lower your light source is, the higher your ISO should be. You have to be careful with the ISO. If you have it too high, your photographs will have a lot of noise. A good range of ISO would be somewhere between 400-800. You want to keep a low ISO. White balance, I found out, has an indoor and outdoor kind of setting. If your white balance has an outdoor setting while shooting indoors, your picture will come out yellowish. If you have an indoor setting while shooting outside, your picture will have a blueish look to it. I had to try it out for myself just to finally understand it!
