Task #3: The Camera

Simply to flex the technical angles of photography, I used my camera to photograph very approximately some of the equipment at the TLL media lab at Stonybrook University. Below you’ll find images sorted by technical criteria, each taken with a Sony a99 & 50mm lens at an original resolution of 6000 x 4000 pixels. Each image includes a histogram in the bottom right corner from Lightroom.
