Criticizing Photographs By Terry Barrett (Page 60-78)              This chapter, entitled ‘Types of Photographs’, dives into exactly that. It discusses the way in which photographs have been categorized in the past and all the many ways that it is possible. Some categorizations have to do with the amount of manipulation, others with the subject of the photo or the purpose of the photo.

For the third photo I, again, only altered the aperture. I moved it down 2 full stops (from 10 to 5.0) in order to achieve a light reading of +1. Part 2A - ISO High ISO 1/250  18  ISO 6400 Lo...
