Post 8: Critiquing

      I will be critiquing my own macro shot of a tree and its bark:   Ranked from needs improvment,fair,good, and pass

Subject: Pass
       There is a clear subject. (the tree and bark)
Background: Needs Improvment
       I should have set the camera settings to incorperate a sharp background which is very blurry.
Exposure: Pass
      Exposure is great there is no dark or overly bright spots.
Focus: Good
      The focus has issues because the tree is of good quality however the background is all fuzzy.
Fill the Frame: Pass
      The frame is filled by the tree and looks attractive.
Level: Pass
      The horizon is level. It may not look that way because of the trees in the way, but its level.

Post 7: Nature and Rule of thirds

                                                                                            This is my far away shot of the river along with all the trees surrounding it. 

This week in digital photography were looking at the theme of beauty in nature. We also critiqued our own picture and created a biography on a famous photographer.

 Using rule of thirds I took a picture of this tree along with a snowy background.

Finally, this is my macro shot that describes texture with the bark. It also shows how nature has interesting details.

Post 6: Tryptych

 This week in digital photography we critqued photos and had a test on multiple photography lessons weve had so far. This assignment was to create a Tryptych of a common object. I chose to do a barbecue lighter amongst my clothes, laptop and other things around the house.

My first photo is a far away view of the lighter.

The second is from a medium range.

Lastly, my final photo is a marco shot, it may look like it is improperly exposed but it was the effect I was going for.

Post 5: Group Pictures

This week in digital pictures we took group photos. I had 5 people in my group. These are the pictures I took of them. I used framing with the trees from left,right and elevated standpoints. I also used the side of a shed to give an interesting background.

We also did some other assignments this week. We made our own personal photography code of conducts. Our class edited the October school newsletter as well.
