For this weeks photoblog, to show negative space, there are pairs of people towards the bottom of the photo, there is a turtle at the top of the photo, and some fishies in the center of the photo that kind of blend in with the background. Overall, it’s a plain photo of the deep sea with some silouettes. It was really hard to get this photo to turnout, It was incredibly dark in the room, so the camera was struggling to be able to capture this. This pictures aperture is F4, the shutter speed is 1/40, and ISO3200.

For the center frame portrait, I took a close up of a jellyfish. This jellyfish really amazed me because of the shape and on the right side, where the head is, you can see some really interesting designs. They move slow, so I was able to capture this photo. You can see another spotted comb jelly behind my main subject, but its blurry and far off. In this photo, the aperture is F4, I set the shutter speed to 1/32, and ISO800.

One of our holiday traditions is putting up out 4-foot fake Christmas tree every year for Christmas. The ornaments on the tree have added up over the years. The heart in the bottom left corner is a science project I made in 6th grade, but the other ornaments are pretty recent. My mom is smiling at the tree because Christmas time and the winter break is always a happy time for our family. The aperture on this photo is f4, shutter speed is 1/16, and ISO 3,200.

I passed by this huge glass window into the water depths and wanted to capture this photo. This is a photo of kelp and fish behind glass with a black symmetrical structure. It shows the concept of infinity because you can’t see where the black lines end and you cant see how far the aquarium goes. It took a while to capture this photo because it was really beautiful and everybody wanted to stop and admire the view. For this image, the aperture was F7.1, shutter speed was 1/64, and ISO400.

Outside of my friends house, there is a tunnel that leads out onto the street. This photo is really interesting because there is this man-made tunnel that is symmetrical, and they tried to add the same things on each side to also make it symmetrical; rows of bushes inside the tunnel and trees on the outside of the tunnel, but nature does its own thing, so the bushes and trees on either side look different from each other. In this photo, the aperture is F9, shutter speed 1/165, and ISO is 100.

For the rule of thirds photoblog, I chose to take a picture of my birds. They got a little afraid when I opened their cage, but I was able to capture this photo with them on the left third of the frame. In this image, my aperture was f4, shutter speed was 1/64, and ISO1600.
