Eleven photos taken to learn about the elements of composition with the "rule of thirds", pattern, symmetry, texture, depth of field, lines, framing, perspective, space, balance, and color.
Photo #1 - "rule of thirds" - tree during sunset
Photo #2 - pattern - candles
Photo #3 - symmetry - piano keys
Photo #4 - texture - stairway
Photo #5 - depth of field - bench seats outside by athletic entrance
Photo #6 - lines - crayon clock
Photo #7 - framing - wooden doors and a wreath
Photo #8 - perspective - toy
Photo #9 - space - globe
Photo #10 - balance - decorative chandelier thing
Photo #11 - color - stain glass window
From this assignment I learned about composing a photograph and the many elements that are involved including those listed above. Before this assignment I knew a few of these elements such as the "rule of thirds", symmetry, color, etc. from my black and white photography class last year. However, I also stumbled across a few that were unfamiliar like framing, space, and balance. Framing is used to highlight the main point of interest in the photo and gives the image depth creating a more 3d picture. Space is filling the photo of the frame using zoom, but also leaving room to breath in order to not crowd the photo. Balance is when a picture holds a second point of interest to balance out the main point. Besides the elements used in composition I also had to learn the basic workings of a mac computer (prefer dell!!!) and the programs used to organize, edit and show my pictures.
