What locations and subject matter did you choose to shoot for your photos? I used photos that I took over the summer in Pennsylvania and I also used photos that I took at school.
Describe the photos you took:What is the distance in the shot? (How close or far away are you from your subject?) Some photos are very up close and detailed while others are far away and show objects in the distance.
What was your point of view when you took the photos? (from above, below, straight on...) The photos of the trees were taken from below so it could be more detailed and show the bark and branches of the tree while other photos such as the flowers were taken from above to emphasize the petals and center of the flowers.
Are your photographs horizontal or vertical?Did you consider the rule of thirds to compose your shots?
In which photos? Describe. Some photos are taken from different angles which showed that the rule of thirds was used while others were landscape view or vertical to focus on the subject of the photos.
Which one of of your photos is a dynamic composition that successfully leads the viewer’s eye through the work? I feel that the picture of the pillars at the school lead your eyes towards the end of the tunnel.

What is the distance in the shot? (How close or far away are you from your subject?) Most of my photos are taken up close to emphasize the detail in each photo.
What was your point of view when you took the photos? (from above, below, straight on...) Most of my photos were taken from above or straight on.
Is your photograph horizontal or vertical?Does this photo follow the rule of thirds? Why or why not? (Describe). The photo of the dandelion is horizontal or a landscape and it doesn't follow the rule of thirds because it is taken straight on and is the center or focal point of the image.
Is this photo an example of pattern, texture and/or rhythm? Explain. It is an example of texture because it shows an up close view of the detail in the dandelion.
Which image may be overexposed ? (too bright) Why? The picture of the praying mantis is the most overexposed picture because it has the most light compared to the other photos which are darker.
Which area/areas is/are too bright? The reflection from the window is the brightest.
Which image is underexposed? (too dark) The dandelion picture is the most underexposed because it has more black in the background and the lightest spot is the dandelion.
Which area/areas is/are too dark?Which image is the best example of a properly exposed photo? Explain why. The picture of the mill is the best example of a properly exposed photo because it shows the dark and light spots and isn't over or under exposed. The area that is too dark is the shadow underneath the stairs in the picture of the mill.

Which photo best demonstrates the rule of thirds to compose the shot? Why ? The 10th photo shows the rule of thirds because the swings are not in the center of the photo they are more to the side.
Which photo best demonstrates consideration of distance and/or point of view? Why? The 11th photo of the swings shows consideration of distance and/or point of view because the angle I took the picture at showed a pattern.
Which image do you feel best showcases positive and negative shapes? How/why? The 7th photo of the green swirl shows positive and negative shapes because the green is the positive and the empty space in between the green is the negative space.
Which photo is the best example of a strong composition what successfully leads the viewers eye though the work? Describe/ Explain. The 10th photo leads the viewers eye through the work because it shows the swings in a line which also shows a pattern of the swings.
Which image do you feel best satisfies the assignment, or showcases what you have learned about composition this term? Why? and/or Explain... All of the photos of the swings satisfy the assignment because they all show the rule of thirds and focal points.
Finally, which photo is the best example of a black and white photo with proper exposure? Explain. The 6th black and white photo shows the best example of a black and white photo because it has proper exposure and the point of view or focal point moves your eye through the photo.
