Post Shoot Reflections

1. The challenges I faced when trying to get photos for the prompts were, I couldn't get the right angle or the right image to represent the four prompts. Also since we had to work with natural light for outside, this made it difficult to get every image to have the right balance of light.

2. The technical aspects that I was focused on most during this shoot was, making sure the subject of my photo was focused and had the right amount of lighting. I really had to focus on these things during the happy photo, because I didn't want my subject to be out of focus since they were most likely laughing or in motion.

3. If I had to do the assignment again I would try to use more photo techniques. I would get better angles are try to incorporate more of the composition rules to improve my photo.

4. The things I wouldn't change would be using the Portrait mode to take my photos. I was able to adjust my photos to just the right focus and a good angle that's appealing to the eye.

5. In my Bowie photo, I used simplicity because there wasn't anything distracting that was taking away the focus of the main subject. However, my other photos didn't follow these technical aspects because I didn't know how to use them.

6. I would be interested in shooting these same prompts because I now know more about how to shoot a great photo. Now I could incorporate these techniques.

1. All of Zoe's photo were very well taken and had great quality. Also her photos were very original and creativity showed each of the prompts.

2. One thing that could be improved is that her happy photo didn't exact relate to the idea of being happy. She could of taken a picture of something more vibrant to give off that "happy" vibe.

Academic Shoot

Image
The composition rule I followed for this photo is balance. The subject's are the two groups of people. They are both the subjects because the groups are very crucial to this image since they are the focus of the photo. The two groups are balancing each other out. People who are looking at this photo may not realize that this image has more than one subject. However, the photo is focused on the two groups, so if people know the rules for balance in a photo then they will know that the groups are both the subjects. I think I could have gotten a different angle in order to make one group stand out more than the other. To really show what the subject was I should have gotten down on there level and focused in on one of the groups with the other more in the back.  This photo shows rule of thirds. The subject is off centered, which allows the photo to be more visually appealing. The subject of this photo is the boy who is following the rule of thirds. I think it i...

Landscape Photography

1. Where is one place on the internet you might go to better prepare yourself for the location you are shooting at?  Online map service, such as Google Maps. Google Maps show great detail of locations. 2. What is one app you might download to help you when trying to pick the best angle to take landscape photos?   The app Photographer's Ephemeris that will help you predict the angles of sunrise and sunset. Includes features that will tell you the best angles and when to shot your landscape photos. 3. What is the biggest problem shooting with a zoom or telephoto lens? You want to shoot details from a distance to make the foreground and background to appear to be very close together.
