Photo Essay 2: Any Picture





This picture was taken on November 02, 2012. It was taken on a D3100 with a fisheye lens. I chose this photo because it was the first picture I've ever taken with this type of lens. I also really liked how it mainly focused on the group of flowers on the front and the magenta color on the flowers are really vivid. With the fisheye lens, it also made it look really zoomed in. It gave extra emphasis to the group of flowers in the middle and made it seem like there were rows of more flowers beyond them when there really wasn't. 



Photo Essay 4: Inanimate Objects

This is a sign that gives direction to an accessible route for handycap people. It is an inanimate object. The sign has no personality or life. I chose this picture because a sign has no other purpose but to direct, inform or convince. This may be the most boring picture to do a photo essay on but a majority of inanimate objects are boring as they do not talk or show any form of emotion with the exception of flowers and other inanimate objects that offers a person some sort of feeling. This sign, however, gives no emotion and is mainly to direct.
