Photo Composition 2

For photo composition 2, we learned 5 new elements of photography. We were supposed to display color, space, perspective, framing, and balance. I had my dog pose to show framing and perspective. For color i used a green screen and a dark stage light. For space I saw an interesting wood figure against a plain background and used that. For balance Becky stood infront of a mirror and i took a picture of her and the mirror. In this assignment i learned how the five new elements of photography can make or break your picture. It is very important to find a medium for color and space in most pictures, or the picture will become to boring or the background will be to distracting.

Photo composition project 1

In this assignment we we're supposed to take pictures using the six elements of photography, pattern, symmetry, texture, depth of field, lines, and rule of thirds. For my first photo i had my dog, Leo sit on my driveway while i took a picture of him using rule of thirds. For my second picture i went in front of the school and saw that the bus loop was symmetrical. My third photo was simply a picture of a chain link fence. My texture photo is a close up and zoomed in picture of the turf on our football field. My lines photo is a slow shutter speed picture of a car going by with its lights on. My final picture is a crab apple tree by the entrance to the office with a aperture of 5.6. I learned how to take better pictures using the rules of photography and when to use them. I also learned how they can, of not used correctly, ruin my pictures.
