I feel if someone was to look at this photo it would cause them to feel happier because its so bright, and the blend of orange, red, and yellow creates a brightening effect.

Motion
*All questions are answered based on the first picture
Approximately what shutter speed did you use to purposely blur action?
For this photo I used about 1/50th for my shutter speed.
If you were on a point and shoot camera, what setting did you use?
I didn't use a point a point and shoot camera.
What motion, or part of the image shows blur? (describe)
The handle of the flag shows the most blur, as well as the top of the flag.
What was your distance, and point of view for the photo?
I was about fifteen feet away from the object being shot and the camera was tilted up so that the flag could fit entirely in the frame.
Describe any compositional elements that are present in or that strengthen the photo.
The bottom of the flag creates a curl and makes the picture more eye appealing. Also the trees help show how high up the flag was thrown.

10
What ISO and Wb settings did you use?
400
If you were on a point and shoot camera, what setting(s) did you use?
I wasn't on a point and shoot camera.

If you were on a point and shoot camera, what setting(s) did you use?
I wasn't on a point and shoot camera.
Which photo is better? Why?
I personally like the smaller depth of field, I believe its more eye appealing and the picture overall is more interesting.
Why would you want to use a shallow depth of field?
To focus on one object specifically.
When/in what situation would a large depth of field better?
If you want to take a larger picture and show all the details, such as a picture of mountains, a school, etc.

Shadow and Reflection
I took my pictures inside the school. The ISO of this photo was florescent and the shutter speed was 1600. The photo i'm going to describe is the one with the two skulls. I found these in the art gallery and saw that the glass was reflecting the background. I thought this looked cool so I took a picture of it. The black mannequins that are holding the skulls made the reflection easy to see. The reflections shows the back of the art gallery (other works of art by students), you can also see me taking the picture. The object that is reflecting the background is the glass of the case. Both the object and reflection are in the photo.I took the photo from a straight on position.The photo is visually interesting.I created to look as though you could reach through the mannequins and touch the background.It sets off kind of an eerie mood because of all the black and the skulls. I would want people to be visually pleased with my photos.
