Alternative to 9/11 Assignment: Photos in Nature

Guidelines for Better Photographic Composition: Simplicity 
This photograph is very minimalistic. The main focus of the image are the two birds perched on a roof. The rule of simplicity can be used to draw attention to a specific point in an image.

Guidelines for Better Photographic Composition: Rule of Thirds 
This photograph demonstrated the "rule of thirds" well. Framing objects in the middle of a picture often makes for a very static image, but by plotting things near the intersection points of an imaginary  2x4 grid makes for a more pleasing image.

Guidelines for Better Photographic Composition: Lines
The s-curve is often incorporated into photographs so our eyes can follow them to the subject. The photographer has his/her model stand in a blank space, and his dark clothes contrast well with the lights and shadows so he is easy to spot.

Guidelines for Better Photographic Composition: Balance
In this photograph, the storm comes in from the top right of the image. The canyons are concentrated to the left of the image to balance out the storm clouds rolling in.

Guidelines for Better Photographic Composition: Framing
Four different animals are framed by the feet of an elephant. The photographer's use of framing draws attention to the animals in the distance.

Guidelines for Better Photographic Composition: Avoid Mergers
This man's head is covering what should be the subject of the image. It looks like he is wearing a crown, and this photograph is boring since he is placed in the middle of the image

ACADEMIC SHOOT REFLECTION

CHOOSING A BOOK In this photograph, I demonstrate the rule of balance. The subject in this image is the student. I think it is somewhat clear that the subject in this image is the student, but  it could also be the books. I should have had her more in focus. CONVERSATION AMONGST WORLD HISTORY STUDENTS I think this photo is framed well. The Subjects in this image are the two boys in the blue plaid and red, grey, and black hoodie. I do not think it is very clear who the subjects are because of the side angle this photo was taken at, so I should have taken it from a different angle. PEER REFLECTION This image depicts simplicity. I think it is clear that the subject is the girl wearing the dark blue flannel and the girl in the black shirt because they are the most in-focus.  WORKING LIBRARIAN  This photograph demonstrates the rule of thirds. There is not much going on in the centre of the image. It is clear that the subject is the librar...

Portfolios Pt. 2

Do not agree: I do not agree with the fac that "there's no crying in sports photography." An athlete in tears after a game was lost has a similar impact as a photo of a celebrating athlete after a game is won. Agree: The tobogganing photo is beauiful. There's a nice light to it and the trees in the background add a nice touch. Great dynamics.
