3. reflection

Creating the still photos presented several challenges, particularly in achieving stills for a soft focus. The main difficulty was in balancing the focus to make sure that the image was clear enough to be recognizable, yet soft enough to create the artistic effect. This really required for me to create a deep understanding of the camera's aperture and shutter speed settings, as well as the ability to manually adjust the focus. Another challenge was in selecting right lenses but since I only had my iPhone 14, I was limited to only a few default options. I was considering installing a lens app that places addon camera lenses but I wanted to see what I could achieve with just the default lens on my camera app. Additionally, I had be careful of the lighting conditions to avoid any harsh shadows or overexposure, which could destroy the idea of the soft focus effect. Despite all these challenges I believe I did okay to capture the soft focus look and the deep and shallow focus look.
