I had a lot of fun with this project because it really made me think about the settings on my camera and the effects that they would give to the outcome of the images. I love shallow depths of field because I think it helps bring a stronger focal point to your images, but it is also nice to have a deep depth of field when you are taking other shots such as landscape shots. I was asked by my brother in law if I could take some engagement pictures for him. We went met in Pocatello since they live in Logan. This was somewhat of a challenge to finding somewhere to take the pictures since neither one of us were familiar with the area. We went to a couple locations and got some great images. I also got a few of my kids in between the location changes.

Bonus fun image:
I saw the pitch fork and wanted to make this image look like the famousAmerican Gothic Painting. I wasn’t completely sure how it was set up and didn’t have my phone handy, but I love how it turned out. I added some “old school” actions to it to add to the essence of the portrait.
1. Faux American Gothic 2. 1/25, 2:00pm, Ross Park Pocatello 3. Focal Length 33 4. F/stop 4.5 5. Shutter Speed 1/100 6. Outside light, sunny day.

Nice work this week! I really enjoyed looking at your work and the different subjects you used. I especially like how most of your photos are in portrait settings. It’s nice to see it in your deep depth of field. You definitely have a talent for portraits and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Check out Madison’s project. She also does some great portrait work.
