Assignment 2:
How to look at Sunsets

            I found this article very intriguing. It not only taught me how to look at sunsets and why the colors are what they are, but it also gave me some good lighting ideas for when to do photo shoots. The article was very helpful in explaining when the brightest colors would be out and where to look for them. When I was in Tanzania in 2013, I saw the most amazing sunset of my life. Since everything was so clear there and had way less pollution, the colors were amazing. This was also true for when I went to the outback in Australia. These are the sunsets that I would like to shoot in. Although, the article is right when it says, “Even in this age of technological sophistication, no one has captured a satisfactory photographic record of the ordinary color of the sunset.”

Assignment 1: How to look at a map

Assignment 1:

           

            I’ve always found it interesting to think that people once did not know what the earth actually looked like. People used to think it was flat, and had no perception of what gravity was. This article interested me as well, as it explained the beliefs of certain people and how they thought countries in the world were arranged. Since I already understand how the earth is shaped and how countries are arranged, it was hard for me to relate to or understand. 

            These maps have always been the most interesting to me. Not because of the content, but because of how aesthetically pleasing it is to look at, and how easy it is to see each country. It is informative and beautiful, and one that I would love to hang on my wall.
