The first assignment is to take two recent photographs and answer a few questions about them.They can't be altered in any way, even cropped.
This first image is a picture of me (yes, I take a lot of selfies and I am not ashamed). This picture was taken around 10 am on November 22, 2015 in my living room. I really like this photo because there were no lights on when I took it; all of the light is natural light, which is really flattering. I was about to go to my grandmother's for Thanksgiving and thus had done my makeup, which is, I think, the main focal point of this photo. Even though it was just taken with my iPhone, I think it looks fairly high quality.
This photo is a little less recent: I took it at Cox Arboretum last June, in the early afternoon. The subject of the photo is a cute little chipmunk, who let me get surprisingly close to him to take this picture. I took this with my GE Digital Camera X5. I like it because I felt some weird connection with the chipmunk while I was taking this. It also follows the rule of thirds pretty well, which I didn't even notice when I took the picture.
