Week 2

Neighborhoods
Greektown
Left - Craft: I took the photo with a fast shutter speed to capture the motion of the chef placing the meat on the grill.
Concept: The concept for the photo was that Greektown is known for its cuisine so I thought that a picture like this would show off a prominent characteristic of the neighborhood.
Composition: For the composition of this photo, I got as close as I could to the chef and the grill, and waited until it started smoking to add another layer to the photograph.
Right- Craft: For this photo I did not use a flash so that the light from the sunset is the only light source.
Concept : A photo of Union Station at it's busiest, quitin' time. Union Station is a very important Chicago landmark, and located very close to Greektown.
Composition: I chose a vertical composition for this photo to compliment the verticals of the columns. I liked the way the light was centered between to very heavy darks. I also waited for the bird in the shot to be in a position of my liking.
