The photography home of the Lakelands Park Falcons.
What we did in this part of the project was get a black background, and put lighting on you so you are only showing your face basically. It was very hard to find perfect lighting, but it was easy to find black

In this project we had to take a photo using Rule of Thirds. This method is used to line photos up taking peoples view from one point to another. Using the grid on the phone you are able to take a perfect photo. The grid lined the photos and separated them into parts of the grid. One of the easiest parts of the project was finding a place to take the photo. The hard part was having to line the grid into the right position.
The point of this project was to draw your eye to a certain object using the rule of thirds. When looking at the picture the point was to look at the things around your focal point that leads to the main object you are taking the picture of. One hard part of this project was lining up the objects with the lines and getting the picture to be straight up and down and not tilted. Also it didn’t work well when you stood against a wall because there was no where for your eye to travel. I thought this project would be fairly easy in the beginning, but once we started taking the pictures it was slightly harder then I thought. For example I wanted the person looking at the pictures eye to go directly to Lizzie. By using the rule of thirds I was able to put her in one third of the picture, and she stands out because she is the far right vertical line so when you are looking at the stairs it leads your eye straight to her. For the top picture I wanted your eye to go directly too the house, so I made the focus go to the house by doing the sky as two-thirds which leads your eye to the house that is at the bottom.

In this project we had to take picture using the rule of thirds. In the beginning of this project I thought that the rule of thirds would help the photos. By the end of this project my thoughts changed, I see how the the rule of thirds helps photos. Using the grid helped lineup the photo. The hard part was getting the picture straight and getting good angles. The grid helped line up the photos, for example in the picture below I used the grid to help line up the photos.
When I used the rule of thirds to take photos for this project, I saw that it created flow in the picture. It didn’t work well though when there wasn’t anything around the main subject to look at. At the beginning of the project I didn’t think that the rule of thirds would work but now I know that it does. In the photos I would put the subject in the rule of thirds corners. When the photo was of the landscape and I wanted to show the land instead of the sky I would put the horizon or wherever it turned from a land feature to the sky on the top line.

In this project we had to take pictures using the rule of thirds. I mainly lined the objects on my right line and sometimes on my left line. Taking pictures of people with wide backgrounds behind them worked, and taking pictures of people with walls behind them didn’t look so good. I liked doing the rule of thirds and my thoughts didn’t really change from the beginning of this class. These are my two favorite photos:
What worked was using the grid because then the horizon would not be straight. What did not work was doing close ups of people because there would not be a background and no place to focus on. At first, I was confused on why the rule of thirds was important, but then I eventually got the hang of it and started to understand why it was significant. The grid, or lines used to set up the shot is a 3×3 grid that helps organizes the focus of the picture. For example, if you want the focus of the picture to be the sky, then put 2/3 of the grid filled up with the sky.

In this assignment, we had to take 5 shots, each at different angles, and do that twice. Then you had to take 5 shots of a human at different angles. It was challenging finding different angles, and getting them to work good and look good. The hardest object was the table, cause you had to be very far, couldn’t get good angles, and you would get lots of people in the way. It helped me learn how to get photos at really good angles, and how to get photos from one drive to another.

This project worked when you didn’t stand against the wall because there is nowhere for your eye to travel to. At the beginning of this project I did not really understand the point of it because I thought it was very confusing, but by the end I understood and got many good pictures. The lines were the most important part of the project because without the lines you would not be able to do this. While doing this project we had to line up this picture with the rule of thirds lines and in the intersections.

In this project I really thought I wasn’t going to do well but it really wasn’t that hard. Some hard parts were getting the picture just right such as having the viewer looking at the picture and making there eyes wonder around the picture. What was easy was using the lines because the lines help you keep the picture straight and having a little part of the picture to be on one thing and the other part to be something else.
