photo essay #8 ideas (give meaning to street photography):
1) going to a popular spot on a sidewalk in the city early in the morning and photographing with hardly anyone there, photograph late morning with some people there, photographing later that afternoon/morning with a lot of people there, photographing early afternoon with a lot of people there, and photographing late afternoon when there is still a lot of people there but it has died down.
2) going to a spot with a viewpoint that shows a lot of a city and photographing how busy the traffic goes as the day goes on. Ex. early morning with no cars, a little later with a little cars, late morning with some cars, early afternoon with a lot of cars, and late afternoon with a little less cars.

assignment #2: HDR pt. 2

exposures: two at iso 50, two at iso 1600, one at iso 100

assignment #2: HDR pt. 1

HDR photography is taking one image or multiple images, combining them, and adjusting the contrast ratios that are not possible to create with a singular aperture and shutter speed. They are created by capturing three photos of the same scene, but each of the shutter speeds are different. The result of these photos together is one picture with parts that are dark, light, and in the middle. The way to photograph an HDR picture is to take three photos of the same scene but each at different shutter speeds. One photo that impresses me is the one below because it shows the contrast  and the multiple colors within the photo, and they are all brought out because of HDR.
