SUBJECT MATTER

I decided to photograph areas around Hermann Park to show how aperture works. Trying to go during days that the park itself was less crowded was a plan of mine. I was fortunate that on this day it was raining and that helped. Visiting places that tend to be desolate around the city always intrigued me and that gave an opportunity to have the place to myself. Growing up I used to go to abandend warehouse or homes that were left behind and forgotten and tried to figure how life existed there before. Since the city has gotten through so much change, I miss the old days in Houston. I guess when ones grows up we pass through somewhere we remember from years past and reflect on it. As far as using shutter speed, what better examples than the movement of people and cars. I think that I came up with good shots that showcased how I can blur the action. Personally the people passing through the viewfinder had a better look to it. Maybe next time I can use shutter speeds into the seconds to experiment how moving comes out. I would also like to do more photography on old places around town to show how everything around will never be the same.
