Photo1Q2.15: End Q2 Best Photo

Thumbnail (this is not my best photo for the quarter!) The main highlights from this quarter were actually form straying away from modern methods of photography. Taking it to the roots of exposure was very intriguing, especially with the pinhole practice and the sun prints. They expose you to such raw concepts in both of them, and you truly understand the importance of each point on the exposure triangle. I look forward to film photography in Photo 2 (from what I've heard, this is what an advanced...

There was a video in which Mrs. Takemoto presented showing how a shift in direction can change the feeling of an portrait. I've always wanted to manipulate the light itself, but I realized after learning a bit about lighting, it kinda clicked.
