I present to you my final project for this course. I used my fuji x100v camera with a fixed 23 mm lens. some of the photographs were taken using Fuji film simulations and also some recipes like Bright summer.
The photos were taken in 4 different locations in Colombia such as Bogota, Cartagena, Santa veronica Atlantico.
I hope you enjoy it.
It was a really good course it helped me alot.

Teacher PlusHello Felipe,
Congratulations on completing the course and thanks for sharing your final project with the community.
This is such a beautiful collection with great variety of frames and perspectives, well done!
I absolutely love the picture of the lady in the traditional dress, it's so warm and colourful and the way the basket sits between the blue and the white of the wall is just perfect! Unfortunately, the exposure has not been set correctly, because the white wall is completely burnt. Taking pictures on a sunny day can be harder than one may think.
The camera is not capable of capturing both very bright and very dark parts of the image at the same time. We might expect it to be able to do so, because our eyes do this all the time. Our eyes are pretty amazing, actually. They are capable of clearly seeing a huge range of brightness. For example, we can look out of a window at the sky and see the clouds, but we can also still see the room we are in, despite the fact it is much more dimly lit. We can clearly see detail and colour in both brightly and dimly lit areas of the world around us without needing to let our eyes adjust. The digital camera can’t do this so well. When it looks at a given scene it has a narrower range, with a maximum and minimum level of brightness it can successfully capture. So I recommend you measure the correct exposure on the main subject of your picture and don't let you be fooled by automatic light readings.
Another thing I'd like to mention is the horizon line. I personally think that the horizon line should always be perfectly horizontal, especially when photographing clear lines such as the sea. If not, I think the picture looks untidy, as if you hadn't taken the time to properly think about the composition. This is particularly evident in picture nr 4. This is not a rule and you are free to tilt the horizon if you want to, but I recommend you tilt it considerably, so it's obvious it's an aesthetic choice and not an oversight.
I hope this helps!
Thanks again for sharing your project.
Best of luck,
Giulia
