What is Aperture?: The size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken.

How aperture works both technically (in camera) and visually (in photo)?: Aperture works in the camera allowing light in like window, and in the photo it allows a certain amount of light to control the picture and make it look better. 

The relationship to the exposure triangle: To have a complete exposure triangle you need to have aperture. Without aperture the picture won't be under control and it won't look how it is supposed to.

Peer Portrait

Dear Future Wife of Nate Litsinger,

Nathaniel Sterling Litsinger, or Nate as he would prefer to be called, is someone who you would find on his phone more than the internet, someone who enjoys playing lacrosse in his spare time, and likes hanging out with friends and going rock climbing. If he could change anything about himself it would be that he was taller. Nate enjoys photography and wishes to see things from a different point of view and if he could take a picture of anything, he would love to take a picture of Bali. In 10 years, Nate sees himself either traveling the world or being an accountant. One habit that he wants to break is to stop spitting all the time. Nate’s all time biggest fear is other people falling because he is a very caring person. Also, something that he hates, that he wishes would go away, is when people dress up dogs for some unknown reason. His biggest flaw is that he hates his voice. A super power that he would love to have is to fly so he could go to his favorite restaurant, The Middlesex Diner.

Sincerely,

Amber Tomasello

Photographic Themes

I thought that the assignment was a great learning experience to learn how to work the camera and it was a great way to get familiar with taking pictures properly. I thought that the end result of the project went well because all the pictures look really nice in the grid together. My favorite photograph is the one for hope in the top left corner because it was a really pretty picture and the set up of it was really nice.
