Academic Shoot Reflection and Critique

1. I thought the hardest part was finding and executing each rule especially framing.

2. The thing I thought about the most was focus and how to make the photo interesting.

3. I would try to get closer to people no matter how awkward it is, because I feel a lot of my photos
looked very distant.

4. I would try to keep the framing where a door way frames the subject, and keep the balance photo.

5. Rule of Thirds and Simplicity

6. Merge and Framing

7. I think they are all clear just not very easy to execute and take a really good photo people will love.

Academic Photos

Framing

1. I think I did good on framing because the side walls are focusing on the girl doing her work.

2. The subject it a girl working on a project in the hall.

3. Yes, because she is the only person/ thing in the photo and stands out.

4. I could have tried to hold the camera a little more steady for a straight drama around the girl.

Balance

1. I think I did well because the photo looks balanced.

2. The subject is all of the students doing class work from a magazine article.

3. Yes, because because all of the students are doing the assignment.

4. I could have gotten a bit closer and include more details in the photo.

Rule of Thirds

1. I feel I did ok because the subject is off center making the background look bigger. 

2. The subject is the two guys working on a group assignment.

3. Yes because of their shirts, and how they are closer to the center making them look like the main subject.

4. I could have gotten a bit closer because the photo looks very distant.

Simplicity 

1. I feel I did well on this one because its simple and I like the books making the background.

2. The subject is the two kids inside studying.

3. Yes because the people are in center.

4. I could have tried to make the camera focus on the students even though it was hard.

Leading Lines

1. I think I did ok on this one because its obvious that the rails lead to the two students working.

2. The subject is the two students doing independent work. 

3. Yes because of the leading lines.

4. I could have tried getting closer because it does look distant.

Unusual and Interesting Photos Part 1

1. My first reaction was that it was cool, interesting and different. The guy did a cool effect with the landmarks and it paid off.

2. I think he made them with Photoshop.

3. The other buildings that I have in mind is the Capitol and the Frost bank down town. The Statue of Liberty would also look cool.

Photo Shoot Overlook

1. You can find these types of photos in a science class, clubs, elective classes.

2. Orchestra, Algebra, ELA, DIM.

3. Find cool angles, use the rule of thirds, and get good lighting. Also have the students/teachers not pay attention to the camera, and act natural. Not to mention to be creative with an open mind.

Favorite Academic Photo

My favorite photo was called "Drop the Bass". The photo had a girl with protecting glasses with a red rim with pink food coloring. She is dropping the food coloring on a black stereo lined in plastic with some food coloring on the thing. As the bass plays the food coloring pops up. The picture has the food coloring in the air as she drops another drop.

1. I picked this photo because I think it look the coolest and the funnest. It seemed more interesting than the others.

2. Some photography rules that show are balance and simplicity. It is simple because it's a normal girl doing a simple experiment and there is nothing that complicated about the photo. It is also balanced because there is an equal amount of food coloring being popped up.

Filling the Frame

I like this one for filling the frame because what the students are doing looks cool and fun. The thing on  the table looks cool when its lit up and I like how thats the only lighting.
