Rule of thirds

What makes this a good rule of of thirds photo is that it
it shows the cup completely to the right which makes your
eyes follow up to it. This means that the focal point is the
cup. I would make this image stronger by zooming out a
bit more to show the top of the cup. 

 Fill the Frame

The reason this is a good fill the frame shot is because the
chicken is the main focal point and there is nothing else that
distracts from it. Also because the chicken is the most
prominent object in the image. to make this image better I
would have zoomed into it more.

Lines

The reason why this photo is a good line photo is because
the lines lead up to the spray can making it the main focal
point. to make this image better i would've edited it in
photoshop with the highpass filter.

Angles

The reason this is a good angle photo is because it shows
the spray can from the top going straight down. It shows
the can as the main focal point and it gives some contrast
between the colors.

Patterns

The reason this photo is the best pattern photo I have, is
because the  pattern is something that not everyone sees
every day. The pattern is from a tire tread and no one would
really like to see it. the only improvement i would do to it is
that i would have given it some color instead of having it all
black. 

Framing

The reason this photo is a good framing photo is because
the frame I used was actually my eyeglass frame. I think that
was creative, especially coming from me. The only i would
do to make this photo better would be that i would crop out
my friend Liz.

ABC's

This is a good ABC's photo because of the fact that the Q is
the hardest letter to find. The only thing i would to it is
probably put it off to the side to make it a rule of thirds
photo.

Shutter Speed

This is a good stop motion photo
because the leafs were captured
mid- flight. The only thing i would
have done different is that i would
add a levels adjustment.

Panning

This is a good pan  shot because the white car is moving and
the background  is blurry in way that it shows motion. The
only thing i would do differently  was that i would have tried
to make it less blurry, and i would have wanted more of the
car in the shot.

Depth of Field

The reason this image shows a good depth of field is because
the car is in crisp focus and the background is blurry. The
only thing i would change from it is that I would have put the
car somewhere else.

Wildcard

This is my wildcard photo because i really like music. The
style i used was depth of field. The only thing i would've
change would be to remove the light from it.

the hardest part of photography class has definitely been

the creativity. Honestly i have been able to overcome it 

somewhat by thinking outside the box, and with the help from

my partners Liz and Stephanie. My biggest success in this 

class has been the depth of field photos. It was a hard skill

to master at first,but i mastered it. in the second semester this

will help me because were going to start doing portraits, and 

portraiture depth of field goes with it really good. I can't wait

till we start doing some magazine- type stuff. For some reason 

i would really like to take photos of some models or stuff. What

my teacher Mr. Pedersen could do to improve this class would 

be that he can work into getting funds along with the students 

get better equipment. What I can do to make this class better 

would be that I might be able to help by getting some of my 

friends to model for the whole class.
