| Shutter: 60 Aperture: 9 ISO: 200 This shot was taken in a side alley where there were no people and there was a lot of light. I was attracted to this plant because of the bright green leaves that were so different from everything else I had shot for today's five photos. It was almost a spring time green, fresh and new. I was able to get this shot by getting up close to the branches and metering off the green area, aka the leaves. I had to bring the exposure to a close by choosing the Aperture last to determine the "correct" exposure for this shot. |

| Shutter: 11 Aperture: 4.3 ISO: 15 (Option 1) A Gentleman's Choice: Taste, Texture, Top Par. It is this type of environment and classical style that I tried to emphasize on within these series of photos. To grasp an understanding of not only the wine itself, but the lifestyle of those who drink this particular beverage. To promote a type of living standard for those who wish to become a part of this exclusive world, to grasp a high level of diversity and sophistication. It is through these photos that I show not only the wine aspect with how it is made and its presentation style, but also the types of individuals and luxury style that one might expect and desire from this type of beverage. This idea of a clean cut and acute precision within the whole environment, from the beginnings of the creating the wine all the way through the individuals participating in this type of wine culture. This specific type of environment that engages the almost puristic and superior atmosphere, engaging the individuals that interact with it to enhance this world. The image that I feel tells this all is the one seen above. Even though you do not get a sense of the luxurious atmosphere and seclusion of specific individuals, there is a sense of purity and almost pride within the image. The very beginning of the whole stage within making and creating the wine starts here. The process of de-stemming the grapes, separating the grapes, smashing them, churning them. All of these are steps to creating the one thing that this specific type of atmosphere revolves around, without it this world would not exist. To capture this beginning step within the world, one needs to see what it is that they want to express and show within the image to convey this. In order to do this I only took one shot, a very quick one at that, and was able to come out with a clear cut image that I immediately loved. All it took was a quick adjustment to the shutter speed to let in more light for the dimly lit room, and lower my ISO to 1/15 sec. to also allow more light to flow through the lens. This was essential for the proper amount of exposure to be used to create a correct image for the time and place where it was taken. I was very fortunate that the image turned out well as I was not able to actually see within the environment because of the dimly lit area within where I took the shot along with the bright sun as soon as I stepped outside. I feel that this is an establishing shot within my series that starts this narrative of high end class and luxury only seen for specific individuals, willing to live a certain lifestyle based on specific hobbies and interactions. Urging the viewer to continue through the series to see specifically what this particular lifestyle is and how to be a part of it. |
