Article Review 2

So I read the article "The 11th Commandment" and it was written by Jad Davenport in Popular Photography October 2007.

The 11th commandment in photography is thou shalt make photos that bring history to life. The article is basically about Jad being in Israel and trying to find a way to take a photo while giving Jerusalem some historical image life. A question going through his mind was, "How do I bring a historical place to life?" To get some good shots he got up really early, so when he was in the city there would hardly be anyone there.

What I learned was to look outside the box. Try a lot of different shots, because eventually one of them will work. Also it doesn't really matter what the images historical content it, it only matters if the picture means something to you.

Photo Critique's

I like this picture a lot, because it does mean something to me. I wish I would have taken a little different angle, because the grey building shouldn't be the main focus in the picture. I like how the sky is really blue, but the barn looks yellow because of the sunset. I should have maybe brought the reds out a little more to enhance the barn.
This picture had a little mysterious quality that I like. Personally I prefer darker photos, but I could have lighten it up a bit. I like the angle of the picture, but maybe I could have gotten more underneath the tree and shot up.
