emotions
Laughter is a very common emotion. Though I thought that it was displayed well through this photo of my mom. I like that she has her eyes closed and hair in her face. This shows her true emotion of laughing through facial expression. I also like that by having her eyes closed, it shows that I captured her emotion in that moment. This was not a posed photo, which makes it look more realistic and genuine.

patterns
This is my favourite photo that I took of a pattern. It shows a lot of detail of my mirror frame. My mirror has an antique look to it and this is clearly shown when you look at it. The photo also shows shallow depth of field, which is interesting. The angle that I shot from shows
one focus point. This shows the detail of the picture while the rest of the frame is unfocused. I liked the effect that this had.

This picture is my second favourite. I like this photo because the curve or wrinkle of the material shows depth to the photo. Zebra print is also one of my favourite patterns. With the detail of my zebra pillow, you can see the texture of it very well. It portrays the faux fur and softness that you would feel if you touched it. Lastly, I love how one point of the pillow is more focused than the other because it adds more depth to the photo.
Shoes
This is my favourite picture of my shoes. I decided to shoot pictures of my heels because they add height and colour into the photo. I liked this one in particular, because it showed the detail of the many gems on the heels. It shows sparkle, glamour and are dazzling. The shallow depth of field is also an interesting aspect to this photo. Even though they are not the most comfortable shoe to wear, they are still a show-stopper!
Family Day
This is my favourite image of the three. This photo shows what family means to me because it includes three main elements: the statue, the album and the flowers. The statue is a symbol of my family because we are always together. We spend weekends, vacation and all day together. my family is always there for each other when we need help. I made the statue unfocused, so that your eye is automatically drawn to the word "Family" inside it. This is (one of) my family albums where we capture all of our memories together. I think focusing the word brought a nice effect to it, and it shows what is centred in the photo. Lastly, the tulips in the background add colour and freshness, which make the photo happy. The majority of the photograph is neutral, so I placed the tulips in the background to bring colour in. Tulips are always in our house because they are our favourite flower, and they brighten the room. Therefore, to me family means affection, memories, and happiness.
I took this photo when I was on a trip to Stratford in the summer. The group of ducks were sitting by the river snuggling together, and I thought that they looked cute. Even though this picture was taken awhile ago, I still think it is what family means to me. My family is very close so, the ducks being close together resembled that. The mother duck is also watching all of the baby ducks, which show how my mom is always taking care of me and my sister. This is my second favourite picture of all.
I like this this photo because it brings a lot of light into it. The statue shows how family is always together and united as one. The flowers add colour to the photo and I like how the light shines through them. Since the flowers aren't in focus, it takes the attention off of them and you focus more onto the statue. This is the main point of the photo because it shows how the meaning of family is that you are always there for each other.

Aperture questions
1. f/1.4
2. Large to medium sized hole
3. Focal
4. f/22 or f/32
5. f/1.4
6. All of the image would be in focus (roughly 32 feet)
7. Very little of the image will be in focus (roughly 1.4 feet)
8. High shutter speed: 1/4000
9. Low shutter speed: 30
10. So the camera will be stable and you will not move it (minimal camera shake).
It's better to be weird than boring.
