Journal #9 (O +P)

O-Orange

f / 5.6

1/125

ISO 100

I took this picture while my mom and I were in New York recently. We were talking about how cool we thought the orange fire hydrants were, and I thought they could be perfect for my journal. I used a low aperture to blur out the background, and a higher shutter speed to avoid any potential blur from me moving. The ISO is low to avoid noise.  

P- Pebbles

f / 5.6

1/200

ISO 100

I took this picture in a dirt parking lot near Lake Ontario during my New York trip. I thought that all the different pebbles on the ground were interesting and would make a really great subject to photograph. I used a lower aperture to get the pebbles in the foreground more in focus than the ones in the background, and a medium shutter speed to make sure the photo wasn't blurred at all. The lower ISO was to reduce noise in the shot. If I could change something about this picture, I would get at a different vantage point to the pebbles, maybe closer to the ground.
