I created this tone by making the bike the center piece of the photo using color, and letting the reader direct their eyes to the subjects face.
Motion blur photography is when you use ISO, Aperture, and shutter speed to photograph movement. You can use motion blur to show movement in a situation. To create motion blur you need to adjust ISO, Aperture, shutter speed, and panning to create the recipe for a good image. In my experience, some challenges are that it was difficult to make sure the subject was focused but the background was blurred so it looked like it was moving. Some successes were once we figured out the right ISO and shutter speed, the images were simple to capture and they looked great. I will work on making sure the subject is focused before i take the picture, next time I try motion blurring.

To begin, photo documentary is a body of work that tells a story around a specific event. They are primarily photographs in which the photographer establishes a connection with the subject and gets to know their lives. On the other hand, Street photography is a way of candidly photographing life in order to capture moments in time. Opposite photo documentary, the photos are almost never posed and so the photographer does not make a connection with their subject. These two styles are similar in the way that they document everyday life and culture within a place and time period. They are different in the way that the photographs are taken and demonstrate the culture and lifestyles of people.
Steve McCurry and Mario Testino are two proffesional photographers. Steve McCurry's work is characterized by intense lighting, simple background, and emphasis on the eyes of the subject. For his portraits, his subjects are centered and fill the frame. The backgrounds are simple, or blurred to increase clarity on the subject, and he uses a large depth of field. Similar to McCurry, Mario Testino is a fashion photographer that photographs celebrities and fashion models. Much like Steve McCurry, his subjects are centered and the backgrounds are super simple. In ones where the subjects eyes are open, light is glared in the eyes. On the contrary however, rather than focusing only on the eyes of the model, Testino focuses more on the personality, showing this through laughter, or makeup, etc. A photograph by Steve McCurry.

Many pictures that you see around the internet have something called watermarks, to prevent them from being copied. But what is a watermark and what does it do?
A watermark is like a signature or photo that is put on photos. A watermark prevents people from stealing or copying an image without giving credit to the artist. A watermark can be used to protect an artist's work because it gives credit to the artist, so if someone were to try and take credit for another person's work, they would not be able to because of the signature on the picture. You do not have to register your watermark because it is a signature therefore it does not have to be registered to be legal. If your watermark is a logo however, it does need to be registered so that you own it. Hot Kenobi is an Osaka based artist that makes a universe of toys come alive.
