Reflection (Backlighting)

1. My best shot is the first one. The positioning and the black and white colors make the picture seem eerie and creepy. The two people in the picture really look like they're both one scary monster thing.
2. My weakest shot is the second one. I didn't really like the position I was in when I took it, since it was taken from the side. The colors are fine, but it just looks blurry, in my opinion (but others can disagree, I don't know).
3. My weakest shot can be improved if I just moved to a front view so it doesn't look slanted and the angle wouldn't look so "off."
4. I used Photoshop to edit my shots. I used the hue/saturation tool and the levels tools.
5. I was able to meet the objectives of this assignment by taking over 30 pictures, posting 2 of my best shots, and using backlighting to my advantage to make creepy photos.
6. What was easy was the editing. I enjoy editing my photos I take outside of school and making them black and white, so I already knew how to do so. I also already am aware of how to work the hue/saturation, since I've done it multiple times before I took this class in general.
7. What was difficult was getting the right backlighting to make it look good. I'm very picky with lighting, so I was difficult to find good lighting at home. So, I just stuck with what I had in class.
8. If I could do this assignment again, I would try to find better ways to get lighting using my resources at home better. I felt like I just gave up doing it at home because I act like a perfectionist all the time. I need to get out of that habit.
9. On a scale of 1-10, I would give this a solid 6. Although it came out decent when I edited my shots, I felt like I didn't put as much effort in it like in my texture project. I just wanted to take whatever shots I could and stick to them. I didn't really care as much and I think that was my downfall in this project.
