Expectations:
Upload 5 pictures to Lightroom in the Cloud.
These five pictures should be:
A photo of a building / structure
A photo that's a close-up of something
A photo where texture is the hero
A photo that captures interesting light
A photo that shows us depth, i.e. an image where you have something in the foreground, middle ground, and background.
Assignment 1 Reflection:
The first assignment was intimidating. I was very green on the camera I was using and still unsure how to capture the images that I want. Starting with the side of the building my goal was to capture (building/structure) I really enjoyed how the light from the blue sky mated with the color graphic of the wall, even with a stylized graffiti light star in the art to match the one from the sun. The bolts were my close up, I loved the threads and the detail I was able to capture with in the bin of bolts I closed into my frame. When I came across this piece of wood, the colors and texture really stood out to me...the cool blues with the textured layers seemed almost perfect to satisfy this requirement. The interesting light might not be overtly obvious in this photo, but after closer examination its how the light goes through the ice cubes with in the glass and the shade on the rails that I was attempting to capture to make this an "interesting light composition". When I saw this statue I had to focus on the hands of this figure. I wish I had been able to blur the background just a little more, but still think I was successful and showing the depth from the point of the figure back to the actual statues side by side.

Depth: Camera Settings: Statue at Capitol Gardens, capturing depth of the outstretched arm, 20200906 @ 1415, Boise Idaho, Miller, I wanted to be able to capture the depth of the shot and found the finger worn down to be the interesting focal point where people have continuously touched the statue.

Interesting Light: Ice water, water sitting on table, 20200906 @1440, Boise Idaho, Miller, I liked how the light refracted through the ice and the glass as the glass was sitting on the table in the light. Camera Settings: Nikon D500, ISO 200, 68mm, f/10, 1/400s
