Picture Envy

In Mexico, my friend and I were taking a lot of the same pictures, but somehow hers always turned out better! Here's some for comparison, and some things that I might have done better next time.

Hers:

Mine:

-I would change the perspective of mine, along with the focal point (hers was centered more on the cross. She also has a bit of a different lighting technique going on. 


Hers:
Mine:
-Again, the perspective on hers is very different, capturing much more of the earthy feeling of being on a farm. I also feel like her colors may have been a bit more vivid. 

Hers:
Mine:
-I like the lighting better on hers, which  was taken at a different time of day. Again, the perspective is different, but she also captures the movement of the people around the building, something that I tried to cut out.

Hers:
Mine:
-I actually like the picture I took as well as the one she did, but they tell a different story. Her camera, of course, is better than mine, but to make my picture more clear I might have tried a different ISO setting? Or maybe some IS would have helped here??

  1. IS actually could have helped a little bit but the issue is a slow shutter speed. If you have the original file bring it into class next week and we can look at the EXIF information. I suspect your camera was in night mode.

    As for the other pictures, yes, in all of these your comments are correct in terms of what she did differently. Let's talk further about these in class. This is a great example for other people to use. Taking a picture you made and one you were trying to emulate and figuring out what is different between the two.
