Black & White Photography


 This image is better in black and white because it makes it more dramatic.  This image makes me feel like I'm trying to figure something out; it's almost mysterious.  My subject is enhanced with black & white because it really makes her face and expression pop.
 This photo is better in black & white because it really focuses on the subject. Before, the subject was kind of lost, but now the viewers eye goes straight to the subject.  This image makes me feel happy because it has kind of a charismatic feel to it. 
 This image is better in black & white because the back lighting kind of hid the subject, but the black & white helped make the subject more noticeable.  This image makes me feel happy mostly because there are good memories behind it, and the person look happy.
 This image is better in black & white because it definitely makes it more interesting. It makes me feel curious and happy because i love the rain, and also the black & white effect makes the viewer wonder what was going on behind the image.
This image is better in black & white because it definitely makes the subject pop.  This image makes the viewer feel happy because of the way the lighting is shining on the subject.  
(fyi- I know I have already taken these photos and posted them in color, but i am currently on vacation & don't have time to take new photos)

Light & Exposure

     I learned a lot this week taking different photos with different lighting. I figured out that artificial lighting should be a last resource because it does not look well in most situations. I also figured out that you can really change a photo's appearance with the lighting.
