While doing the fly on the wall experiment I noticed it is extremely hard to keep your two sense out of the conversation. The first set of photos my peers discussed was "To Hold or Not To Hold," they noticed blur in my 1/2 of a second photos as to be expected. I think this experiment was presented to encourage us as photographers to use our tools, in this instance it shows the benefits of using a tripod to stabilize your camera when taking long exposure shots. Obviously my photos at 1/125 of a second had the most clarity. While looking at my "How Deep" photos my peers noticed a very gradual fall off. I believe these photos when looked at one right after another should appear gradual and when comparing F5.6 to F22 the falloff should appear drastic! This experiment was probably the most informative when it comes to making decisions about how the subject of the photo is focused. While looking at my "Equivalent Exposure" photos my peers said the composition for each set was strong, although they could see some struggle in adjusting the camera settings or the camera settings not complementing each other properly. I struggled with the experiment the most, following the directions but my camera not quite reacting the way I expected. When looking at my "You Know Better" photos my peers noticed great contrast in my photos, some very very dark and some so bright they are almost washed out with light. They noticed depth in my photos created with the objects and shadows. My peers claimed my photos had texture and good use of the background canvas. This last set of photos was the most exciting to take because in some instances I wasn't quite sure what kind of photos my camera would produce due to drastic setting changes!
