I took this image having in mind the content we learned this week. Personally, this image was hard to take since the light from the buildings becomes hard to capture in a nice and clean way especially with a phone camera.
I took this photo while walking through San Francisco on Thanksgiving Day. Personally, it was very interesting to see so many cars at night, when it is usually empty on a holiday like that. I was able to capture the photo quickly and as best as possible.
Visiting a friend's house, I noticed that many planes were passing near her house, so I went out and was able to capture a plane passing by with her camera. The image was taken in the afternoon although it already seemed to be night, which is why I was able to take the photo.
I took this photo when I went to San Francisco, maybe this week during Thanksgiving. It doesn't have the best quality because my camera has been bad lately because I dropped my phone. The image captures the light coming from the Ferris wheel that basically illuminates the entire street.
Reflection
Night photography challenges both technique and creativity. This week, exploring this type of photography was an experience that really interested me. I understood how light can transform a common scene into a very interesting scene. What I enjoyed most was the process itself, from planning the shot to experimenting with different camera settings and compositions. Each attempt taught me something new, from how to handle noise in images to how to interpret available light. As we head into the final week, I'm interested in continuing to refine my technique, exploring more creative possibilities, and overcoming the challenges that come with working in low-light conditions. I am convinced that each photograph tells a unique story, and my goal is to capture those stories in the most authentic and artistic way possible. The images that I propose in this portfolio of 4 images are images that I took throughout the week, based on the learning content attached for review. The camera I used was the one on my phone, as I used it throughout this course. I thank my classmates and teacher for supporting me with their comments and contributions during this quarter and I look forward to seeing the final work of the class.
