Flash

The Pros of flash is that it makes your emphasis easier to see, theres no blurryness. The cons is that it takes out all natural light in the picture, it can create red eye in your pictures and irritate your subject.

Flash is good when its dark or if your just trying to take snapshot with no artisticness behind it.

Flash is bad if you have like pretty light ion your picture and you want to capture it in your picture.

My picture is better with flash because the blanket is just as dark as the couch and if you didnt take this picture with flash you wouldn be able to see the blanket as well

Metering

Metering on the camera measures the amount of light that the camera lens allows in.

In the first picture we focused the camera mainly on my partners skin so when the picture was taken the camera allowed enough light in to show my partner. On the second picture we focused the camera on the computer light so when the picture was taken everything else around the computer came out dark and un-seeable.

Metering can help you in the future if your ever taking a picture in a place where there isn much light.

Surrealism: Strawberry Heaven

The dream i had was of strawberries. It was really just a random dream that i didnt understand at all. I just took the dream and ran with it and tried to think of a way to make a dream about strawberries look interesting to look at. I had a random objject which was a light house. I some how figured out how to work that in there as time went on and i worked on the picture. This picture was basically a make it up as you go picture. but in the end I like the way the picture came out visually, I think I did a good job of turning something plain as strawberries onto something interesting to look at

A past to remember

This artwork is of my more recent past. This quilt has a great amount of foortball related ipictures and statements because of the upsetting football season that we ended with due to problems the players on the team couldn't control. THe trophies and rewards throughout the pictures are some of the only good things I look back on and rember about the season. My jersey number is on the background because I was the first person to wear that jersey eve; i made that jersey number known throughout the entire season wherever I played
