academic shoot

     my favorite photo in the academic contest was the photo of a brunette girl with a black glass right in front of the camera where inside the glass was a magenta explosion.

1. i picked this photo because of the closeup and the vibrant colour.
2. fill the frame.

i think that the algebra classroom of ms. criers will do well for the academic shoot. since i'm in that class i know that there a lot of energetic children, i will probably do a few different view including bird and worms eye view of the student working and the teacher talking.

filling the frame

the frame is almost filled to the top withe the exchange of food into the homeless's buckets

action or emotion

the joy and surprise in the girls faces show emotion while the bubbles and the chemical reaction show  action 

best story

the male and females in this photo seem to be praying to the fallen soldiers or having a moment of silence.

post shoot reflections

1. it was hard to find subject for the prompt assignment that haven't been used before

2. i was thinking about the perspective being original, as well as being straight and balanced, having cool shadows and blurs
 

3. i would try to use a variation of angles, use rule of thirds mostly

4. i would keep using closer pictures and different perspective

6. no, i would rather have a more challenging prompt

composition 9/11

simplicity

the background is two basic colors, focusing on the falling man, directing the path for the falling man to go.


rule of thirds

the men are below the center, the background is grey focusing our eyes to the bright blues, reds, and yellows

lines

the lines of the building lead the viewers eyes to the hole in the building, the clouds also block our view of part of the building forcing the eyes to focus on the hole

balance

the group of people walking forward balances out the group walking away as well as the background, the closer group leans more to the left, the group walking away clumps more towards the right

framing

the shadow of the demolished window frames the firefighter, the black shadow of the drywall invert eyes directly to the centered fireman

avoiding mergers

the woman has few harsh mergers distracting the viewers eyes from her body and face
