Log Book Entry Week #4

I took this photograph because this sign is on the street that I pass every day to get home from school and when I first saw the sign flipped and upside down, I burst out laughing and thought “Man, I need a picture of this.” It reminded me of how quickly things can change and how our normal routine can be altered. It is a good reminder, nevertheless that we should have things in our lives that can shake up the routine and add some interest in our lives. I shot this photo using the rules of thirds, because quite frankly, it is my favorite way to shoot pictures. I really enjoy looking at pictures taken this way, so I decided to do one too. For this photograph, I set my camera to manual and set the aperture to f/5.6, the shutter speed to 1/80 and the ISO to 1600 for a bright photo. At first, looking back on the picture I thought that the picture was too bright, but with the editing, the photo turned out perfectly and I couldn’t ask for a better shot. I edited the picture with Pic Monkey and I darkened the brightness and then added an effect called Dusk to add a richer tone to the photo. If I had the opportunity to re-shoot this picture, I would not because I am very pleased with how it turned out.
