Journal #10 (Q + R)

R- Race

Aperture: f / 4.5

Shutter Speed: 1/250

ISO: 100

This was a picture I took during my magazine cover shooting.  I didn't use this photo for my cover because I didn't really like how I was looking down on my model, but I thought it would be good for a race journal. The low aperture is so just my model is in focus, the higher shutter speed is to  freeze any movement, and the low ISO is to reduce any noise in the shot. I really like the intense expression on my model's face in this picture.

Q- Quarter 

Aperture: f / 5.6

Shutter Speed: 1/200

ISO: 100

I took these pictures in my house. I originally was going to take a plain picture of the quarter just laying on the table, but then I decided that it would be cool to spin it and see if I could freeze the action of it. I used a low aperture and high shutter speed to freeze the action, and I used a flash too. The low ISO is to reduce noise. The only thing I would change about this photo would be to take it somewhere with a nicer background and surface, maybe in the studio.
