1. What was your favorite image and why?

- My favorite image was the "warm color" still life. This is because I feel that it represents fall through the colors(the black background makes the red and orange stand out).

2. How is the lighting in your favorite image?

- The lighting in the image is direct?

3. What worked well while photographing?

- Most direct lighting helped highlight the subject in comparison to the multitude of shadows produced by diffused lighting. Manually adjusting the focus prior to allowing the camera to automatically focus also helped us visualize the end product while working, allowing us to decide on the necessary zoom and lighting(it also helped the automated focus to fixate on the subject and not the background, thus altering the depth of field).

4. What would you have done differently?

- Next time, I would experiment with different backdrops and colored lighting to add texture and background hues.

5. What was the element or principle in your thematic image?

- The elements in my thematic image were shape and variety.
