EDITED UNEDITED What object did you choose to photograph and why?  The object I chose for my photograph were two airplanes held by my younger brother, Logan. I picked these toys because my brother has a love of aeronautics, and this photo was very fitting for the prompt. The planes my brother was holding also were passed down from my dad, so the toys hold special meaning to my family as well.  What compositional element(s) did you choose? How did the compositional element(s) add to the meaning or purpose of the photograph? The compositional element that I choose was worm's eye view. Different perspectives add meaning to the purpose of my photograph, because it looks like my brother is playing with the airplanes and holding them up into the sky. This could symbolize his desire to eventually be in flight in the sky.  Do you think you were successful in translating your thoughts into a visual form?

The faster the shutter speed, the more clarity and definition I had in the photo. The lower shutter speed, such as 1, the more overexposed it was, as well as the amount of blur in the image increased. The longer the shutter is open, the camera catches more movement and action creating a blur. The image is brighter, because there is more time for the light to hit the sensor. 

What challenges did you encounter photographing and editing this image?  Some challenges that I encountered while photographing and editing this image was making sure that the image was not overexposed or underexposed. I also wanted to make sure that the image was not completely white, because of water and sky's brightness.  How did you overcome these challenges? I overcame these challenges by attempting to balance out the highlights and shadows in the image through Lightroom.  How did you add depth to your image? I added to depth to my image by making sure I had a foreground, middle ground, and background in my photo. The boat is the foreground, the water is the middle ground, and the levy is the background.  Do you like your image in black and white or color more? Why?  I like images in color more because it shows more life and excitement in a photo. Even though black and white images can sometimes show more meaning, I lik...
