The magazine cover of the September 14, 2001, special edition of TIME features a photograph of the two hijacked airliners ripping through the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001, taken by photographer Lyle Owerkoof. The issue included testimonies from survivors, more photographs of the Twin Towers after the bombings, and a salute to all those who perished in the tragedy.

this picture shows an event in the middle of the action. the buildings blend in with the background and the fire and smoke draw more attention. I like how the letters don't take up much space and don't draw any attention from the picture which is the main point of the magazine. 

practice fixed portrait shoot

ISO 100

ISO 400

ISO 800

ISO 1600

ISO 3200

What was the best ISO setting to use for your portraits?

the best ISO that i used for my photos was ISO 1600

What was your next best photo?

my next best photo was ISO 3200

Were you able to create equivalent exposures to your best photo by changing the aperture and shutter speed?

when i changed the aperture and shutter speed, sometimes the picture would come out different but it would also just change slightly 

What did you learn from this activity that you will apply to your real portrait shoot?

i learned that you have to try all if not many different aperture and shutter speeds to choose the right one and take a good picture.
