Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 prompts (Square, Metal, Happy, Bowie)

I found challenges while shooting these prompts when i was trying to find meaningful photos to fit the promo, some of the photos i took didn't really seem like they could tell a story or have any meaning behind them, this is one thing that i try to do with my photos and it was a challenge to do that.

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.

While doing my photo shoot i was thinking about getting the right angles and i was also trying to take photos that i could create a story with or that had some interesting aspect to them, so when i would think about taking a picture of something i would first think about what i could include in the photo to have meaning.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

If i had to redo this shoot I would try to goto places that could be turned into a intresting story or that could visually be interesting and different than other photos.

4. What things would you do the same?

If i were redoing the shoot i would be thinking about angles and different ways of focusing the photo to create cool effects in the photo.

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?

In my picture with the weights on the metal prompt and the roof on the square prompt i used the lines element because the lines on the weight rack and the lines on the roof help the viewer move through the photo comfortably. The motorcycle on the metal prompt used the rule of thirds element because the motorcycle is to the left side of the photo.

6. Are you interested in shooting those same prompts again, why?

I liked the 'General' prompt idea where there could be a lot of different ways of perception but i don't think i liked the prompts specifically.

Student Blog Reflection


Reflection - I liked the 'Happy' photo because it has a wide range of colors and the way that it is captured really helps create a 'Happy' feeling. I would improve this photo by getting more level with the flowers so there isn't as many background distractions.
I also liked the 'Metal' photo because the photo did a good job of capturing the motor cycle, i would also change this by trying to eliminate background distractions.
