We had some Christmas lights, and since the assignment was for light, I just held it up in front of my camera and made sure it was focused

I used natural lighting for this picture. My mom stood on the driveway and I stood on the trunk of her car, and I looked down at her with my camera in order to get this image.

Lighting

I chose this picture because the lighting makes certain parts of the elephant very distinct, and other parts, not so much. I like it because one part of the photo is very bright compared to the rest, and it guides your eyes to the figure.

Panning

I used a 1/30 shutter speed, because it kept her fairly clear, but the background still blurry.
