Today's blog is about a photo from the photographer of the week, Eugène Atget. This picture can be classified as a picture of architecture, as it focuses on the structure of the building and the furnishings. The focus, although soft, is acceptable because of the time this was taken in. The filter applied is sepia because it takes away the negative vibe, a black and white filter would have produced.

Today's blog is about the picture taken by Michael Melford at Fossil Creek, Arizona that is featured in the National Geographic's gallery of "Gorgeous Pictures of Wild and Scenic Rivers". This picture has a juxtaposition because of the view of a mountain above the water and the fossils covered in algae. The focus is sharp enough to see the smallest of details of the algae on the fossils. The lighting is natural because the picture was taken in an outside environment.
Today's blog is about a picture of a man holding an ax covered in flames. The lighting serves for more than just illuminating the guy, but also blocks out the rest of the objects so that the main focus can be him. The focus of the picture, although not the sharpest, is accepted because of the challenge it must have been to take it. The composition of the picture is perfect because of the rule of thirds landing on the man's right eye (our left) and how the ax or its flames is not cut off by the cropping.
Today's blog is about a photograph from famous photographer Jill Freedman. She puts good natural lighting from the window to give light to his face and the glasses. This picture, has a rule of thirds as only a third of the room is dark, while the rest of the 2/3 is illuminated by the outside light. This picture tells a story through the mans surrounding objects and his facial features including the lighting which looks as though its morning, and since no one goes to drink in the morning, he was most likely out all night. His face having one of a hazed smile, and the empty glasses implying he drank all night.
Today's blog is about a picture of a dad coming home from the force and seeing his daughter. The composition of this photo is a little off due to the fact that it wasn't the priority, but if this picture were to be improved, the camera would need to step back a little bit to capture the complete foot of the dad and the poster. The lighting is artificial, because of the setting being inside.
Today's blog is about a picture of a girl posing with her violin. The lighting is back lit because she is standing in the opposite of the light source, casting a shadow over her and the violin. The focus of the picture is really good because the sharpness of the picture is already very accentuated, but with the blurriness of the background add to the sharpness of the image.
Today's blog is about medicine being poured into a spoon. The composition is nice because the action is centered at the 1/5 line on a grid. The light refraction is a very nice touch because it reflects of the medicine as well the spoon. If the photo were to be retaken again, I would have removes the string that bothered the rest of the photo by being irrelevant to the main focus of the picture.
Today's blog is about the dog lying in his bed upside down. The composition of this picture is really good as it uses the rule of thirds with the eye of the dog on the 1/3 grid of the picture. The contrast of the black dog with the gray bed and the white work well to allow the dog to stand out to the viewer. The focus is really good because you can see the details of the light shining in his eyes.
Today's blog is about a portrait of a model on a chair. The lighting is centered well because it is artificial. The focus is really sharp which allows you to see the details in her face, the chair and her tattoos as well. The composition of the photograph could be improved by cropping the excess space at the top. The pink of her sweater and the blue of the background and the blue of the chair contrast to allow her and the sweater stand out to the viewer.
