1. FLOWER - Marmalade Bloom
1. FLOWER - Marmalade Bloom
I chose to take a photo of this cluster of Santan because all the other species of flower were close to being dead. This is honestly the only good shot I did for the whole activity alone.
2. HEIGHT - Frank's Tree
2. HEIGHT - Frank's Tree
This is the tallest tree in the whole residential condominium. I'm glad there were people passing to really showcase the height of the tree. I am not totally happy with this photo, but I am also not that much sour about it.
3. PATTERN - Bills Bills Bills
3. PATTERN - Bills Bills Bills
I do not know the legality of taking this photo, but I still chose to shoot it and submit it for this activity. It is one of the few things in the area that do not have an intentional pattern appearance. I think the staggered placement of each electric meter was meant for efficiency in space and installation, but I do like the pattern they present.
4. MOTION - Tulak, Angkas, Maneho
4. MOTION - Tulak, Angkas, Maneho
I was at the sidewalk when I took this photo. I was aiming to capture vehicles because they were the most obvious subject for this activity. Luckily, this vendor happened to pass in front of me pushing his metal cart full of buko to sell.
5. NIGHT - Astigmatic
5. NIGHT - Astigmatic
This is the only place in the condo where I can get as much light as I need while at the same time show that it is actually night time. I honestly do not see anything special from this.
I would lie if I said I intentionally chose the Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO in each photo. The reality is that my camera's "manual mode" is still not completely manual. The Shutter Speed and Aperture settings are automatically determined by the camera's processor, and the manual mode only lets you control the ISO for the darkness or lightness of the image, depending on the sensitivity of the sensor.

Almost all of the photos I took have an f/3.5 aperture, as seen from the EXIFs above. I mainly just eyeballed the ISO by looking through my camera's screen and deciding whether I was satisfied with the lightness or darkness of the image. I used a low ISO for settings/subjects that have a lot of light. This can be seen in FLOWER, MOTION, and HEIGHT, where I used an 80 ISO since the sunlight was the direct light source from these images. Also, I used 320 ISO for the PATTERN since the electric meters were attached to the wall where the sun was already behind it. Lastly, I used a 1000 ISO, which I honestly hope I used more, to capture the pathway and the night sky from our condo unit. The theme for it was "night" so it is not surprising to use that much sensitivity.

Overall, I am quite disappointed with my images. I find it harder to capture photos with pre-determined themes in mind, rather than my style of just shooting subjects that I find interesting.
