Thank you for visiting my user page. First, I would like to share a little bit about myself. My name is Rylie Hale, I am 17 years old and I love to play volleyball and hang out with my friends. Volleyball is something that I am really passionate about because it's a good way to get my mind off things and just be able to play the game and enjoy being on a team with other people, making new friends, learning more and it also helps to be more outgoing.

I am interested in learning more about Wikipedia and how it works because I use Wikipedia for so many things and I've never once thought about how it started or where it came from until now. Wikipedia has always been a great help when I needed it. Over time I hope to accomplish more knowledge about this whole site, I feel like it would be a big help moving forward.

Article Evaluation

Since my freshmen year, I've been trying to get a little more into photography. I just like how you can do so much with it and it's an endless amount of ideas you can come up with, so I decided to do a little more research about photography and see if there is anything else I need to know. I visited the Photography article on Wikipedia, and found three aspects of it worth commenting on: Exposure, Focus, and a negative or positive image.

Exposure

In photography, Exposure means the amount of light you capture in a photo. The exposure of your photo is affected by the shutter speed, lens aperture, and scene luminance. It all depends on what kind of picture you are trying to take which determined which aperture to set your camera lens on.

Focus

"Focus" in photography is adjusting your camera lens to find the right detail you are looking for in the photo you're taking. It all depends on the aperture and how much sun is hitting the lens that determines how focused the rays are once they hit the sensor. If you are trying to focus a picture of something farther off into the distance, it makes it a little bit harder but depending on what you are focusing on, the distance from you to the subject is measured from the focal plane mark on the camera, not from the front of the lens.

Negative or positive image

A negative and positive image in photography is based on the color of the photo which can also be affected by how you edit the photo. A positive photo is a normal image that you took, it has color and is unedited. Positive photos are mostly busy looking and active so most of the focus is drawn towards a certain subject. A negative image is when the light areas appear darker and the dark areas appear lighter. You can turn a positive image into a negative one just by how you edit the photo, it all depends on what kind of picture you are trying to take.

Summary

Overall I would rate this page pretty good. I think it included a lot of good explanations about some really important photography things. It explained what everything is and how it works, had a really good walkthrough of what you needed to know and it was really helpful. It would be even more helpful for some people who are just now learning about this stuff and have no idea what they are doing yet. I liked this page and I think it was a really big help.
