Composition Assignment

The Assignment: As a class, we learned eleven different techniques to not only look at a photo, but take one as well.  Coming into the class, I had very little experience with a camera and this assignment brought photography to my attention.  When I was signing up for the class, I thought that this would be an easy "A" and I would be able to blow off some steam that I built up throughout the day.  Boy, was I wrong.  This assignment was a wake-up call for me in this class.  The assignment taught me about different ways to shoot pictures.  I had no clue that there were different techniques to taking pictures and now I realize how tough and frustrating it can get when all the materials you need aren't cooperating with you.

Photo Descriptions:
Depth of View: "Shoes in the grass"
Symmetry: "Hallway with lockers"
Lines: "The commons at lunch"
Rule of Thirds: "Two men in classroom"
Texture: "Wall with humps"
Pattern: "Track"
Balance: "Ball on basketball court"
Framing: "Man in Railing"
Color: "Picture in hallway"
Perspective: "Staircase from the top"
Space: "Object on table"
