Assignment 2 Questions

The element of design that I used for Assignment 2 is curved line. I think that my camera work could have been better. If I used a better camera where I could white balance, the photos would be more well done. I like the way that I edited my photos, however. The warm colors that I used in my editing throughout all of my photos makes them more unified. My composition is well put together and the way I placed the curved lines throughout keeps your eyes returning back into the center. My editing was a success, and so was my element of design. I would recommend to myself if I were to do it again to take more time preparing before I take the shot.

Histograms

1. What is a histogram?
         A histogram is a photographers tool located on the camera that helps to show what the range of tones is in any given photograph.
2. What happens to the visual when a histogram is skewed to the left?
         This would cause the picture to be mostly dark deep tones and colors and would result in a dark image.
3. What happens to the visual when a histogram is skewed to the right?
        This would result in an image that is mostly light tones and would cause the photo to be very white and seem washed out.
4. In most cases, what does a good histogram look like?
        The beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but generally a photo is more successful when it has a balanced histogram starting in the middle.
                                          This is an example of a good balanced histogram. The photo is not too dark or too light so it has good balance.
                                   



                                                                                
4. Why is a histogram a good tool for a photographer?
             It balances the shot and makes the photo more pleasing to the eye. It helps to see whether a photo is either over exposed or under exposed.
