Artist Reflection: Composition

1. Which picture is the best shot of this assignment? Why?

My best picture is the picture of the swan. I like this picture because of how I captured the photo in the first place. I went to the park with my parents and captured it accidentally while i was trying to take a picture of the whole flock, it is an unintentional picture. 

2. Which picture is the weakest shot of this assignment? Why? 

My weakest shot is the Multiple Subject shot. I don't like this shot because I feel like my edit ruined the beauty of the image. 

3. How can the weakest image be improved on in future shoots?

If I were to do this shoot again, I would't edit my 7th picture as much as I did.

4. Did you use Photoshop, Lightroom, or both? What tools in the programs did you use to edit the pictures? 

I used both Photoshop and Lightroom. I edited all my photos using the crop tool, the exposure tool, brightness and sharpness tool, hue and saturation too, and the black and white tool.

5. Explain how were you able to meet the objectives (GOALS) of the assignment 

I retook the photo's until I finally found the right image.

6. What was easy about this assignment? Why? 

The easiest part of the assignment was taking the pictures because it was really fun to take the pictures.

7. What was difficult about this assignment? Why? 

The most difficult part of this was actually finding images that fit the composition. 

8. If you could do this assignment again, what would you do differently? 

I would fix my weakest shot. 

9. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being your best effort) how would you rate your effort in this project? Why would you give yourself that rating?

I gave this my all so I would rate my efforts a 10.

Peer Feedback:

Composition Assignment

This Picture is not a bulls-eye image because the subject isn't tight in the middle. 

This picture portrays brightness and sharpness because the light is coming in form the side and reflects on the birds wings.

The horizon is placed in the lower half of the frame, it emphasizes foreground.

Leading Lines, the bars on the image acts as a guide, so that the viewers eyes go from top to bottom.

This picture demonstrates simplicity because the rainbow fills the whole frame. 

This Photo emphasizes height and distance because the horizon is placed in the upper half of the image. 

This picture has multiple subjects, it captures the whole scenery from the grass, to the sky.

This image uses rule of thirds because the main subject is on the sides of the frame. 

"Falling Man" Photo Response

I think that the reason this picture is part of Time Magazine's 100 best is because of the feeling of the tranquility that it portrays, and the story that the image tells. It's kind of like a stop motion movie, showing how the man sorta heroically escaped his death, only by seconds. It also captures an important moment in american history.

Do now (09-10-19) : A snapshot is a photo that is taken without thought or is an impulse picture while an artistic photo is mostly taken by an individual who wants to express themselves artistically by focusing on every aspect of a photo from the camera angles, lighting, effects, and poses.
