Comp. one and two

Assignment Description: This assignment consisted of many elements.  The first thing we had to do was learn 11 different elements of photo composition.  After that we were to go around the school and practice taking photos. We then had to learn how to upload them to adobe bridge. Finally we made a blog and we're now uploading our photos to our newly created blogs.

Rule of thirds.  

I chose this picture for rule of thirds because the rabbit's eye is at the top line of the photo.  

Pattern. 

I chose this picture for pattern because you can clearly see the square pattern that makes up the wooden floor.

Symmetry. 

I chose this picture for symmetry because both sides of the tree look extremely similar

Texture. 

I chose this picture for texture because you can see the different textures in the wood in the close up shot.  

Depth of field.  

I chose this picture for depth of field because the leaves are in the foreground with the brick wall in the background.  

Lines.  

I chose this picture for lines because the corners and pillars of the railing are very defined.  

Framing. 

I chose this picture for framing because the doorway seems to create a frame for the rest of the hallway. 

Perspective. 

I chose this picture for perspective because the staircase looks much better from the top than the bottom.  

Space. 

I chose this picture for space because the pot and flowers fills up the entire right side of the picture but the left side is left blank.  

Balance: 

I chose this picture for balance because the colors in the background compliment the bench and nothing looks out of place.  

Color.  

I chose this picture for color because the bright pink of the flower instantly draws your eye to it.  

What I learned: In the assignment the main thing that i learned was how to use the different elements of composition.  The one that i found the most helpful was the rule of thirds.  Before I took this class I had no idea that the subject was not supposed to be completely centered in the photograph.  The other element that I found most useful was depth of field.  It really adds to a picture if you have something to focus on in the foreground or the background, it helps keep the picture from becoming flat or too busy.
