This shot was for a "365 Days of Photography" course I started in 2023 on PHOTOGRAPHYCOURSE.NET. The first assignment was to intuitively chose the right exposure settings without using the in-camera light meter. It's more of an exercise for the absolute beginner but I found it was good practice nonetheless. Some photos are probaly more darker or lighter than they should have been as a result. I wish I was faster at selecting my settings, and also better at getting the lines i see within a frame all parallel with the edges of the photo frame. These photos have not been edited in any way - otherwise I might have straightened the shots out, and done some corrections to them.
For all of these shots, I set my ISO at 125, as I wanted nice crisp photos without any grain. In hindsight, having a higher ISO of 400 might have let me increase my shutter speed, but overall I like how the slower shutter speed resulted in the blurring of the faces of those passing by, as I wanted to emphasize the banal, generic feeling of big box shopping stores.
