Post Shoot Reflection

1. During this shoot, I found it difficult to find a good subject that would symbolize the prompts well.

2. For this prompt I found myself thinking mostly of the focus, for example, in my metal picture, the entire focus was on the metal and the background was completely blurred.

3. If i could go back, I would probably frame the pictures and use the rule of thirds.

4. I would keep the subjects I used for the prompt, I really like my choices.

5. In my Square and Bowie photos, I captured balance well.

6. I would be interested in doing this shoot again so that I could use the skills and techniques that I learned.

I really loved how her photos have a simple background. It makes the focus of the pictures very clear. I also really loved how creative her ideas were. One thing I would suggest is that she would get different angles of her subjects.

I chose this photo because I love the visibility of 
genuine emotion. The composition of the photo 
did attract my attention, how the focus is on
 the man in the front. I think this photo made the 
cut because you can see emotion.

I chose this photo because I love the concept of 
whats happening. There is not much about the composition
of the photo that caught my other than how perfectly 
centered it seems to be. I think this photo made the top
 40 because it captures a very raw moment.

I chose this photo because I love the moment that
 it captured. The composition is not what caught my eye,
 it was the expression on his face.I think this photo made the top 40 because of the same reason as I chose it.

Blanace


In this photo, there is a bunch of balance. There 
are buildings spread out evenly throughout 
the photograph and the smoke clouds are 
mostly balanced as well.

Lines


In this photo, there are many lines that lead to the 
subject. On both sides, there are buildings that lead 
to the man which is the focus. Also, on the left there 
is a sidewalk leading to him.

Simplicity


This photo shows simplicity because clearly the subject
 is this woman. The background, although its not plain,
 is one color and there is nothing that at first 
glimpse will distract your eye from the woman.

Rule of Thirds


This photo follows the rule of thirds very well.
The firefighters are in the lift in the bottom right 
corner and it really enhances the picture. Also, there 
are two lines leading directly to them so it
 makes the picture look really good.

Framing


This photo is very well framed. Theres the side of the
 building on one side, theres the ground, and another 
tilted post which helps draw attention to the 
firefighters.
