post shoot reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 prompts (Square, Metal, Happy, Bowie)
One challenge I had was trying to find a photo to represent 'happy'. I wanted to take a picture of a group of people laughing but when ever I went to shoot I felt really weird.

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.
When I was taking pictures I was thinking mainly about getting a picture that was in focus. For my 'square' photo I thought it was really cool because it was in really god focus.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
I would make my backgrounds simpler and look for subjects and lines that lead to the subject.

4. What things would you do the same?
I would still keep the photos in focus.

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?

6. Are you interested in shooting those same prompts again, why?
Yes because now that I know some rules and tips for better composition I feel like I could take much better photos.

I really likes your photos. I really think you did a good job at the rule of simplicity especially in your square and happy photo. I suggest that on the 'bowie' photo you could make it clearer that the bowie logo is your subject and not the kid. I really enjoyed viewing your photos!
