In this assignment, I learned that I had to really concentrate on the proportions of the different objects in the frame. I had trouble figuring out the proportions of the sandal, but I think I figured it out by looking at the bar of soap and the golf ball next to it. I also focused on making sure that the shading was realistic and accurate, so that there were shadows coming off of each of the objects. When I had a problem with how to draw something, I would try looking at it a different way or from a different perspective, which usually helped me a lot.
In this assignment, I had to decide how to crop the image so that it fit within the frame of the photo paper, but that it was also interesting and not really centered around one thing or object. At first, it was hard for me to establish an accurate balance of the blacks and whites in the photo, because they usually turned out to be too dark, and the white of the tissue didn't contrast enough against the darkest shadows in the image. In the end, I tried different ways of manipulating the apertures and the amount of time it was exposed, and I am really happy with the way it turned out, because it's not too dark or too light. To develop this project, I focused on making sure that it wasn't too boring and had enough going on in the photo, but that it had enough going on in the image to make it interesting.
