Depth of Field
We used a shorter lens for the photos, and got really close. We accomplished much more wider images. I put auto white balance and added saturation as the studio lighting was a little bit dull, with a little bit of vignette. Aperture was at f/5.6. We definitely did more shallow depth of field, as the text in the background is only a little bit readable, but is definitely a theme-fitting background.
f/4 f/6.3 f/9 f/11 f/13 f/16 f/18 f/20 f/22 f/25 1. I believe our most successful photo was our f/9 photo, as the balance of light with the slight blur in the background made the image pop out way more than the other ones. 2. I think our least successful photo was the f/18 photo since there is very little light and the subject isn't worth admiring or looking at.

Before and After Editing
1. I would rate this process a 6/10, since you have to decide what in the image to focus on, and adjusting the sliders ever so slightly make it a little bit hard. 2. I liked making it more natural and guiding the observer to what I want them to focus on (the subject).
