This is a picture I took of my cousin Shannon. I think it looks better in black and white because in the original, the colors are dull, and I think it is a nice close up of her but the color was lacking. Making it black and white gave it a different, m...

I chose to look more closely at exposure because I know it's something that I have the option of playing with on all my pictures both when taking and editing them, but I had no idea what it really meant. It turns out that exposure is how much light fal...
