Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? Some challenges that I encountered while trying to take pictures that followed the rules are that I just got carried away with taking pictures that I forgot to make sure that they followed a rule, so I went back and made sure to have pictures that followed each rule.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
The technical aspect of photography that I was thinking about the most was the focus in the picture. I really wanted the picture to be good, so I had to make sure that the focus of the picture was good. What I did to make sure that the picture was focused was I gently held down the shutter button just enough to make the picture focus, and at the right point, I took the picture.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
If i were to do this assignment again, some things that I would do different is that I would make sure that the picture that I want to take will follow all the rules of photography and that I will avoid mergers not taking blurry pictures.

 4. What things would you do the same?
Some things that I would do the same would be focusing the picture by slightly pushing down on the shutter button but not to hard to take a picture. I would also want to have the same lighting too.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?
With the next set of prompts, the rule that will be easiest to follow will be simplicity and framing.

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?
The rule that will be the hardest to follow will be lines and rule of thirds. 

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
I'm still not clear on the rule of balance and I think I could try to make sure that what I'm looking for is correct and that it is clearly visible.

I really like the quality of her photos, I could tell that she definitely put some effort into taking these pictures. I really like the picture of the eye, the subject is so focused and over all it's just a really good picture. I would suggest to try to work on making sure that the main subject is clearly visible, in most of her photos, they are visible though.

Academic Shoot Photos (Post Shoot Reflection)

Rule of Lines. This is rule of lines because the lines from the ceiling lead to the lines on the top shelf and the lines on the windows. The subject in the photo is the lines that lead to the lines in the windows. The subject is very clear. Rule of Balance. This is rule balance because the shape that her arm makes while she is writing is a triangle and in the back the paper, her folder, and her phone all make a rectangle. The main subject is the shape her arm makes. The subject is very clear. Rule of Thirds. This is rule of thirds because the direct subject is not in the middle of the photo, she is off to the side. The main subject is the girl on the left side of the photo. The subject is very clear. Rule of Simplicity. This is rule of simplicity because the main focus or subject is simple, it's the person holding the pencil. The subject is ver clear. Rule of Framing. This is rule of framing because the lines from the window build a line around the boy who is in ...

American Soldier

A. What is the most powerful image from the pictures printed in the Denver Post over the three weeks they published images from the year of coverage? Why? I think the most powerful image was the picture on 22A because it is a picture of Ian Fisher sitting all alone looking down thinking about how this is going to be the rest of his life. The picture is just really moving because the way I interpret it sends me a strong message. B. How do the images work together to tell a story? These images work together to tell a story by showing Ian's journey form where he first began to where he finished his army journey. It has showed how much he matured over his time that he has served our country. C. How do the captions enhance the photographs? The captions enhance the photographs by adding more detail and sending more of a message than the actual story itself can tell. D. Summarize the story of Ian Fisher, based just on the captions. Ian Fisher is beginning to start his career...

School Uniforms, Assignment 1

School Uniforms For this topic I could possibly interview a member of the board who decided to enforce the uniforms, I could interview the principal that works at the school where the uniforms are being enforced, and I could interview a staff member/ high ranked teachers that works at the school where the uniforms are being put into place. Sources: Board Member School Principal Highly Ranked Teachers Some questions I could ask include: 1. Will jackets be allowed? 2. How do dress codes target certain people? 3. Are there any exceptions for people who don't have to school uniform rule? 4. How many warning will be given if not dressed appropriately until a penalty? 5. Will there ever be any days where students can dress freely? 6. How will the students be able to express themselves? 7. How will you deal with students who don't obey the school uniform policy? 8. What are some advantages of the new uniform policy? 9. What are some disadvantages of the new uniform p...
