     My first photo is a picture of, most of, my friends. I am beyond grateful for these wonderful people. No matter what, when I am having trouble with something, at least one of these people will be there for me. My friends bring laughter, and happiness, into my life. I am so fortunate to have people like this in my life, and hope that I continue to have this bond with my friends.

     My second picture is a photo of my mom, with my cat. My mom does everything for me, and I know that I am so lucky to have someone like that in my life. My cat is always there for me to pet, hug, play with, and do whatever I want with him. I am so grateful for these two loved ones.

     My third picture is a picture of my dad, my other cat, and my brother. They always are a constant source of entertainment & care. Even though I get in fights with them sometimes, they are always there for me to have a good time with.

     My fourth picture is a picture of my camp friends, and I. Not only am I thankful for these people, I am thankful for the place that I go every summer with them. Laying under the tall green tree, and starlit night, I feel at home. My camp friends are always there for me, and I can always trust them, because I have created an everlasting friendship with all of them. The memories I have with them will last a lifetime.

     My fifth picture is a picture of my dance studio. I am very thankful for this place because I have met so many new people here, and created an amazing bond with a few instructors. My dance studio keeps me active, and helps me become a better dancer.

     My sixth, seventh, and eighth pictures are a picture of nature. I am very thankful for the environment in America, and all of the life around me. Animals, and nature, bring joy into my life, which I am thankful for. I am also thankful to have 2 beautiful places I can go to for a vacation. My grandparent’s houses in Long Beach Island, and Florida, are place where I can have a good time at the beach with all of my family.

Rule of Thirds

For this project, we were required to take two photos inside the building (with and without people) and two photos outside the building (with and without people). In order to do this, we had to use the rule of thirds, a compositional technique that naturally contributes in building visual interest and improving balance within the photo. In the rule of thirds, photos are divided into thirds with two vertical lines and two horizontal lines which make three columns, three rows, and nine sections in the images. Important compositional elements are placed on or near the guide lines and intersection points. Throughout the process, I had to overcome several challenges. For example, it was challenging to make creative use of the negative space, or the empty areas around the subject. This was particularly difficult to do in a school environment. It took me awhile to get used to the rule of thirds, too. Due to force of habit, I constantly took pictures with the subject in the center at first. Therefore, I had to redo many of the shots I took. However, I changed the settings on my camera so that a rule of thirds grid appeared onto my photo. This made this project easier because it removed all guesswork and helped me get my positioning even more accurate. Lastly, it was easy to enhance my photos on Adobe Photoshop and apply my brand logo on each of them.

In the image above I used the 2/3 vertical line.  A person is featured in this photo 2/3 to the right of the image.  In the other photos I have attached I used various different lines such as the bottom 3rd horizontal line.  

This project was lots of fun but difficult in many ways.  finding the right place to take the photo was challenging in a good way.  Editing photos is getting easier but is still a challenge for me.  It was fun going outside and taking. 

It think adhering to the rule or thirds is a great way to take amazing photos.  the rule of thirds makes your eyes travel across the photo.  It also creates an emphasis on the setting as well as the subject.  Before this project I had heard of the rule of thirds but didn’t think about it much.  Because of this assignment I will never take a photo again without at least think about the rule of thirds.

Rule of Thirds

Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds project focused on creating a better photo. We learned that if you place an object in a certain section of the photo, the photo will be more interesting. We used a screen grid to create rule of thirds photography. If you put the subject of the photo on one of the grid lines or points, the viewers eye will travel to that subject first. For example, in the image below the lens of the camera is right on one of the intersecting points and the person is standing lengthwise along one of the grid lines. In this image your eye travels to the camera lens first, then to the person, and lastly to the scenery. This is the goal of rule of thirds photography.
