Edited:  Unedited:  ISO: 100; f/4.5, 1/13 sec • How do these objects represent you today? Be specific and use complete sentences. These objects represent me today because the volleyball, shoes, necklace, glasses, flowers, Stitch, and pineapple describes who I truly am. The volleyball and shoes are two things that are significant and very important to me. My life surrounds the sport of volleyball, so I felt that I needed to include these objects in the image. The necklace has a cross on the end, displaying my faith in God. I added my glasses because it helps me see the world in a new perspective. The flowers are in the image because I had that bouquet of fake flowers for many years, and they have been in my room for a long time. I put the Stich figure because it was my favorite childhood film and Disney character. Lastly, I added the pineapple as a nod to my backpack, and to the fact that it is my favorite fruit.   • What is the best aspect/what do you like best about you

The aperture opening affects the amount of focus because of the smaller the hole it provides a smaller amount of time the camera to focus.  2. What do you notice about the relationship between the f/stop number and the size of the aperture opening? I noticed that the relationship between f/stop and the size of the aperture is that the larger the aperture, the smaller the hole and the smaller the aperture, the larger the hole in the camera.

Edited: Unedited: What compositional element(s) did you choose? How did the compositional element(s) add to the meaning or purpose of the photograph? The compositional elements I choose was pattern and textures. I thought that the wooden post added different textures and tones to the image. In addition, I also used the rule of thirds elements for the viewer to focus on the leaf in the spiderweb. This creates the leaf to be the focal point of the image. Do you think you were successful in translating your thoughts into a visual form? What aspects of the photograph lead you to this conclusion? I think I was semi-successful in translating my thoughts in visual form. I found it hard to present my thoughts through an image like this. I think that I could have created the photo to be more metaphorical or contain more meaning. The aspects of the photo that lead to this conclusion were that there was no emotion or tone in this photo. I could have incorporated this by d
