Great black & white photographers PART 3

1.) What first caught your eye while looking  at your photographers photos? Is there something in particular about their photos that made you want to choose them?

I taste fresh air.

I hear people talking and cars up and down the street.
I taste a great sweet tea I would love to be drinking.

My Photos

Academic Shoot Reflection

1.) What challenge did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you?

When I went to go take photos I forgot some of the rules so I wasn't as focused on getting all of the rules but I think I did a good job.

2.) What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general did you find yourself thinking about he most? 

 

I thought about focusing the camera and getting good  angles to make the pictures look nice.

3.) If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

I would make sure to achieve each and every rule.

4.) What things would you do the same?

Still take a lot of pictures.

5.)When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be easiest to achieve?

Avoiding mergers, simplicity and lines.

 

6.) Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?

Rule of thirds, balancing & framing.

7.)  What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?

Rule of thirds, I could read more about it and look at more pictures that have rule of thirds.

Questions 

1.) I followed simplicity, lines, rule if thirds, and avoiding mergers pretty well, balance and framing was a little hard for me but I think I got it.

2.) A subject for lines would be dictionaries.
For rules of thirds the subject would be a boys figure and the background being brighter than him.
For simplicity it would be pretty pink flowers.
For balance the subject would be a boy balancing on one foot & being tilted.
For avoiding mergers it would be Officer Clayton posing & getting cut off.
For framing its a long strip of blue paper in the middle.

3.)In some photos you'll know what the subject is.

4.) I could of went to the composition website.

I picked this photo because it's very meaningful and tells me a story just by looking at it. This photo also shows me the characteristics about this man and how he cared for what he did for his country.

The photographer picked an excellent time to take this photo. I like how he took it from the left angle and it shows the man kneeling, the tank, the flowers, and the tank.

I think this photo meant a lot to people who served for their country and loyal americans. The man shows his dedication and the way he felt about his fellow members. Something that people serving for their country goes through everyday.

I picked this photo because it touched my heart to the core, I'm sure others felt the same way when they read the caption. 

The person who took this photo had amazing timing, to get this picture right on time when he first heard something is absolutely amazing. I'm sure it meant very much to the boy the family and the photographer.

This made the top 40 pictures because its a lovable picture, the feeling of knowing this is the first picture he took when he first heard something is beautiful. 

Aaron Thompson

When I first saw this photo I couldn't help but be sad and think about who was his father and all that he had done before he passed. 

The photographer who caught this photo must have been proud of he piece and what he caught on camera.

This made the top 40 I believe because this represents many of kids who have lost their parents due to serving for their country. You can see so many emotions in this photo.
