Title: "Take a Look"
Camera: Nikon D5100
Lens Type: Macro
The subject that i photographed was Terry Stevens. I used my macro lens on my Nikon
D5100 and took a photo of his face to show detail and texture in his skin complexion. When I was viewing it on my computer, I realised that this shot would look a lot better if i cropped it just so it shows his eyes, bridge of his nose, and a little bit of his forehead wrinkles. I think the lighting turned out well since it was taken outdoors on a sunny day, I also think the light reflection in his eyes was successful. The one problem with this photo is that you can't really notice if you look at the picture close up, is that since my aperture was at f/5.6, the right side of his face turned out relativity crisp so it makes it hard to notice. Other than cropping his face in, I did not use Photo shop for editing. Eyes in general influenced my photography because I love the several types of emotions you can grab out of a set of eyes. I also like that every type of eye is interesting to look at with different colours and lines, it also shows different "stories" behind each eye such as if the person is happy or sad. I think my image also turned out well because it's symmetrical which makes it pleasing for the human eye to look at.
