Also, the description of a photograph is highly dependent on interpretation, and relevancy is a determining factor to figure out if a photograph is intellectually stimulating or productive or not. 3.        Description  is the logical explanation for information that one gathers, which includes the  photographer’s  subject matter, medium, and form. The description of a photograph includes

Bracketing and Inspiration Images by Emma Ridley Intro to Digital Photography SS: 1/200, F5.6, IOS 400 One Stop Darker 1/125, F5.6, IOS 400, Camera Meter at Zero 1/80, F5.6, IOS 400, One Stop Brighter Question: What is bracketing and what setting did you manipulate on your camera, by what increments (in stops) in order to achieve it? Answer: Bracketing is when one takes multiple photos of the same subject, however one is required to adjust the exposure for every picture (shutter speed, IOS, etc). For my submission, I adjusted my shutter speed by three increments in order to achieve a true display of bracketing. Any other adjustment was too subtle to show up. Because this was shot during sundown, it was important to dramatically change the shutter speed in order to showcase bracketing.
