Views from the 212

My photography was taken to a new level when my class touched base in Lower Manhattan, NY. Most of my photos were a bit overexposed due to the cloudy white sky causing my photo subjects to appear brighter with very insipid coloring. But after learning how to adjust the exposure, I've learned that my camera seems to take a liking to the -1  and +2 exposure, bringing out both color and crisp clarity. 

In the first photo, I'm giving you full on metal texture, fragment frame filling and light & shadow. The sunny view from my camera and eye was brightly lit upon my subject, almost blinding me. Instead of using negative exposure, I tried out positive two and got a really dim but sharp image of my subject. Intense sunlight with a high exposure level really brought out elements of this photo I never saw.

In the second photo, I wanted to show nature study and simplicity but got much more. With a negative one exposure, I was allowed to gain focus on the inside of the flower that was too bright and fuzzy to see. Additionally, I filled the frame and gained a new point of interest; the core.
