Creating an illusion of depth and space helped me to learn how to focus photos in certain ways to get a deep or shallow depth of field. My photos for this project was of a line of cars. I learned that a shallow depth of field would put the focus on the cars at the beginning of the line, while a deep depth would show all the cars down the line clearly. I used this skill while photographing my paper lantern. When photographing them we used light to get the shadows through the lanterns. Learning how much light to use in a photo is another skill I have acquired that i think is important. Once the lighting was set up correctly I took various pictures of the lantern using different depths of field to get different kinds of pictures. One project I would re-visit would be the mirror selfies. I liked my window one because it was creative but i would revisit the one done with my ipad camera and try to do something more creative. There were not many mirror options for me to use when I too that photo so if I were to re-visit it I would try to find more interesting options. The only other things i would like to explore would be photographing more things in raw nature and setting up shots outdoors. I think we will do more of this when the weather gets better.
