I used an ISO of 200 and a white balance of cloudy. I avoided a bright background and dressed the kids in solid colors. I used Photoshop to turn the color picture into a black and white picture. In Photoshop, I used the color fill and curves in the adjustment layer.
I used artificial light for my portrait pictures. I set up a key light, a fill light, and a back light. I moved the lights around while taking the pictures. I also turned the back light off and on. I tried to work with the shadows on the face. I set the ISO to 800 and the white balance to Tungusten bulb. I tried to take pictures at different angles. I did not use a flash.
"A Walk in the Park" is the title of my photo journalism project. I used an ISO of 800 and Tungusten bulb for the inside pictures. For the outside pictures, I used an ISO of 100 along with White Balance set for cloudy. I tried to take close-up and far away shots. Also, I tried to take several pictures using different angles.
For my architectural photo assignment, I took pictures of the Linnean House at the Botanical Gardens. For the outside pictures, I used an ISO of 100 and set the white balance to cloudy. For the inside pictures, I used an ISO of 400; 400 worked nice with all the outside light pouring in from the windows. I set the the white balance to auto. I used a tripod for all the pictures; the tripod worked nice with my over-exposures and under-exposures.
