Because it reveals the figure’s shape and what it forms, this shot has good shadow depiction. The light angle creates a figure that resembles various animals. Because the creatures aren’t genuinely present, this is a sort of surrealism. Because these are all powerful creatures, the shadows might also signify a source of power. With an open, abstract mind, many hidden messages can be seen. This photograph appeals to me because it brilliantly captures shadows and the effects they may have.

This image from the internet has texture because the snakeskin contains a variety of grooves and ridges that generate an uneven surface. Because there is no obvious pattern on the skin, this photo appeals to me. Since of the ridges, I believe it is a successful photograph because it highlights the many ridges on the skin while also generating shadows, which is a common artistic technique.

What I Learned About Camera Exposure and Camera Modes:

I learned that the three camera settings: aperture, ISO, and shutter speed all determine the final look of a photo. The aperture controls how much light gets into the camera lens. It has different ranges of f-stops, the bigger the number, the smaller the hole. The ISO allows you to either darken up, or brighten up the image you are shooting. The larger your ISO number is, the brighter your image will be. The shutter speed is how fast your shutter will open and close, which allows light to come through. The shorter the second, the better quality your image will be.
