Depth of Field

I took pictures of nature and some things I treasure including my guitar (below), a golf course and a lacrosse field. I went to these places around my neighborhood and Noblesville and Carmel because that's where mostly raw things are and they are great subjects to take pictures of. I set up my scene for the picture below by laying it down on the grass in my yard and started snapping away.

With my use of close up, I was able to make emphasis in my pictures and was able to see some of the texture of my objects like the strings on my guitar. I incorporated lots of color as well.

As my subject matter, I used my guitar. I incorporated my voice as a musician and my love for music for this picture. It helped me view nature as a whole differently; nature is a beautiful and doesnt get enough credit as many teenagers are on their electronics instead of looking at the world around them.

My strengths were taking the landscapes just because they were easier to focus with a camera. My weakness might have been taking close ups because most of them were blurry at first. Something I would've changed about this assignment would be having alot more patience with taking a close up picture.
