What I learned in this assignment was how to adjust my aperture to focus on a subject. With a lower f-number, I saw that it isolates the subject and makes the subject clear and the background more blurry. A challenge I had was when the f-number was too low the exposure on the picture would look off. To get my pictures to look right the f would usually be on 3 or 4. To keep the subject and background in focus, I had to have a higher f-number like f/7-12. Something I was able to do was get the bokeh balls in my photo. I went up to the creek that runs through our school and I angled the camera so it hit the light reflecting off the water. This created circular blurs of light. I had to use a low f-number for this.
