My Favorite Cover

Bloomberg Businessweek, November 12-18, 2012: "The Next Four Years"This portrait is of President Obama and how they think he will look at the end of this term. The marker of the magazine is saying that stress from the term will make him age. The photo is nice because it only focus's on Obama's face aging.

ISO 800 F10 Shutter Speed:1/50
ISO 1600 F16 Shutter Speed:1/50

1. Our best setting was ISO 400 F4.5 Shutter Speed: 1/25 coming out with the best photo quality
2. The second best photo was our ISO 3200.
3. With different ISO's it involved us adjusting a little to make the photo viewable. But with our best photo we were able to find the prefect setting to make it viewable.
4.Yes, I learned how lighting effected the photo and how to properly adjust the settings.
