For my portrait assignment I decided to do it on a majority populated college apartment complex employees. I choose to do my portrait assignment on a populated college apartment complex because this is the environment that I'm in. These are the people I see on a semi-regular basis other than my teachers and classmates. This assignment was mildly difficult than expected. I believe the fact that I knew the employees made it easier to shoot them doing their everyday routine. Another thing that made it easier is that I talked with my subjects and they made me feel at ease when shooting them.
What I found challenging about this assignment is that looking at my photos I can tell that my metering was off. While doing this assignment the office had some good sunlight and they also had tuscan lighting so it was difficult to find a balance. Another difficult issue I faced was that my camera at high ISO has a lot of noise to it and is really grainy. This is something that I need to look into so that my images don't look so grainy.

1. For the light problem, do a custom white balance with a white piece of paper. 2. For the noise problem, there is a program called Noise Ninja that is available on the class computers. Hope you continue using your blog. It's a nice addition to any portfolio.
