Assignment #4

**PAIRS**

PAIRS COME IN ALL DIFFERENT FORMS. Here are some of the twosomes I encountered on my walk around the Great Lawn in Central Park and the Museum of Natural History this week.

FLAG POLES

TURTLES!

We lucked out this week – the days are getting longer and the sun has made an appearance or two. Monday was a beautiful, cloudless day, so I decided to take a walk with my new camera. I'm still getting used to the camera and had some issues (see below), but that is to be expected I guess.

I sometimes enjoy lens flare in photos. I don't always mind the loss of contrast when the tradeoff is capturing beautiful sun rays. What I didn't realize was how intense the sun spots would be in some of my photos, and unfortunately I didn't notice as I was shooting to make corrections. I will definitely be more aware of this with my new camera going forward.

**EXTRA PHOTOS**

(Not pairs. Just because.)
