The photography home of the Lakelands Park Falcons.
In this project we used frames, so basically we got an object with a whole and took a picture of someone or something through it. The rule of thirds is similar because you have an object but it’s not the focus, just like this project. The challenging part of taking the photos was finding a good object inside the school.

In this project, we took pictures through a frame or a space in the object. We took pictures of a person through the object. For example, we took a picture of a friend through two trees. In Rule of Thirds, we were supposed to make the subject be the attention of the project, similar to the Frame project. In the Frame project, we were supposed to put the subject in a frame. Here is my favorite picture.
This picture is my favorite picture because I like how my friend is in the middle of two trees and I really like the nature aspect of it. One thing that I found challenging was finding the frames inside because there are no good frames indoors. Outdoors, there are structures and there is nature so, it was easier.

For this project, we had to be creative and find different gaps in buildings or breaks in structures to make one main focus in our photos. This helped to make our photos more creative and interesting. This is different from the Rule of Thirds project in many ways. Mainly, the objective is different. In Rule of Thirds, we had to have the main focus of the image on one or two of the thirds lines on our camera. The main idea in Rule of Thirds was to make your eye focus on one thing in the photo. This is similar to Framing, but instead you are using different objects to draw the attention towards the main focus, instead of the thirds lines. Pictured above is my favorite photo from this project, because I was able to create a double-frame to frame Ela. I really like how this picture turned out because Ela is focused between the stair railings, making it a very interesting photo. A challenge I faced when using this type of composition was thinking of creative ways to make frames, not just simple things like doorways.

For this project we had to use objects in our surroundings to frame the subject in our photos. For example in the picture above, I used the railing of the bleachers to frame and bring attention to the subject of the picture, Matia. This project is like the opposite of the rule of thirds. In this one we used our surroundings to bring attention to one specific part of the picture, while we used rule of thirds to create flow in the picture and let the eyes travel to other places. It was challenging in this project to line up the subject with whatever I was framing them and having the camera focus on the right thing.

When I didn’t know about Rule of Thirds, I thought it was something that would make your picture more coordinated. After I touched it, it helped me better design the picture structure. I think it is a great feature. My Photos
In order to successfully follow the rule of thirds, I turned the grid on on my phone. When I took pictures without the grid, they often didn’t follow the rule. I feel pretty neutral on the rule of thirds. It generally seems like a good thing, but other times it seems too restricting. I used the grid lines to make sure that my picture had flow.

When I need photos for a class, I usually go on Google. Normally I do not contact the owner of a photo. If it is a written project, then yes. If not, then no. I normally give credit to the author. I do not expect them to give me credit but I would like it. My logo contains my initials (ESK). My logo was not very hard to make. It was easy to create since it was a star. It was some what difficult when I had to pick a color that goes with both light and dark backgrounds.
This project included students to take pictures of objects or other students using different sides of the camera so the object isn’t centered every picture. What really worked was using the cameras with the grid because it really helped separate the camera screen for the picture. What didn’t work was using the camera without the grid. The lines that were used for the camera really helped because it divided the camera so we can put the object on each side of the camera.

What worked in the project was i had good looking backgrounds. What didn’t work was the quality of the camera, it was messed up and I didn’t fix it until the end. My opinion on the rule of thirds is it doesn’t work if you don’t have a good camera. The lines are for the focus of the photo, there can be a person on the side but the focus could be on something else. Click here to see my photos
