Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 prompts (Square, Metal, Happy, Bowie)
It was hard to find something that was different but still went with the prompt, I thought that metal and happy were the hardest to get a picture of. Trying to get happy picture without it being too posed and fake looking while it still being a happy picture which is why I just waited until the three boys started to laugh thats when I took the picture. Then just finding a metal object that most people wouldn't take a picture of was surprisingly difficult but when I went to the library taking a picture for square I realized that maybe a picture of the metal ceiling would be cool. 

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
I think I was focused on framing and the angel in which I took the pictures for example my square picture has this frame around it, it's actually just the beginning of the metal ceiling.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
I think I would try to get more lines into my pictures, focus on the rule of thirds, simplicity, and making sure I'm not merging two objects together.

4. What things would you do the same?
I believe the way I was thinking as very good, because I focusing on trying to do something different and unique. which I think payed off.

5. Finally - go back and edit your blogs with the 4 photos (square, metal, happy, Bowie), tell me what rules of composition (which you just learned about) did you end up actually achieving? Did you have any?
All of my pictures followed at least one rule, although I could've done a better job making them look a little clearer.

6. Are you interested in shooting those same prompts again, why?
I guess, I don't see why not. I don't think I need to retake them but some of them I would like to work on the rules we talked about today.

First positive: Her pictures are very unique, which is rurally great because every one was doing the same thing and she went and made it her own.

Second Positive: Even though she didn't know the rules she followed them and it made the pictures look very good.

One Improvement: I think she could work on using less flowers and use objects that correspond with the center of her picture.
