Asymmetrical vs Symmetrical

The first photograph you see is asymmetrical. This implies that it is balance from right to left but with a different content, the person on the left balances all three people on the right because it is closer. Unlike the first photograph the second is symmetrical, it is perfectly balance with the same background and the same amount of people on each side. Having balance in a photograph is important to make the photo more interesting to see.

Group Collaboration

What I found difficult in this group photo was making sure everyone was doing what they had to do and waiting for the camera to actually take the picture since we didn't have a photographer. If we do this project again one thing I would change is making sure we all wear similar clothes so we can look better as a group

Leading Lines

Leading lines are lines that take your eyes to the emphasis. They make your eyes follow the line to the emphasis in a way that you don't think about it. In this photograph the bars going up the stairs are the leading lines that take you to the pretty girl on top which is our emphasis.

Contact Sheet

I really enjoyed doing this project and overall I think my contact sheet came out looking really nice. The one thing I could of done better was making my pictures in different angles and not just normal. The depth of field was my favorite compositional trick that i did especially the photograph that I took.

Cropping

This image was originaly wider and with a greater hight, what I did was cutting the image where i could only see my emphasis and the line on the wall leading to my emphasis. I like this cropped picture better because the original idea of taking this picture was this one but the camera took more than what I wanted.

Extreme Angles

What I did in this photograph was putting my model in a higher surface and I the photographer kneel down so I could see her from down below. I like how my model leans on the branch wich is going back making the angle even more extreme. I think I could of kneel down even more and gotten closer to the model that way the angle would be really extreme.

Macro

The macro function in your camera lets you take a photograph of anything from just a few inches away without making your photograph look blurry. Depth of field is when you take a macro photograph and your emphasis is clear but your background fades away. You would choose macro when you want to see the texture of something or to take a picture just a few inches away. I like this picture because i can see the texture infront of the picture and then it blurs out. The red leaf picture I like because you can see the texture of the leaf and the rest blurs out, and the green background make the red leaf stand out even more.

Rule of Thirds

This is my "rule of thirds" picture. The rule of thirds means putting your object (what you want people to see) in the bottom left or right hand corner or on the top left or right hand corner. This is why I put the circle on the top right hand corner instead of in the middle. This is how I used the "rule of thirds" in my photograph.
