My Name

Filling The Frame

I think that this is a good picture of Filling The Frame because the stuffed animal is up close to the camera and the entire stuffed animal isn't all the the frame.

Axial Symmetry

This is an example of Axial Symmetry, the book seam is in the middle of the picture going up and down sort of cutting the picture in half. I also burned the top part of the picture to make the pages of the book look more brighter.

Interesting Aesthetic

This is a picture of an upside down martini glass, I felt like taking this picture at an upside down angle it would look more interesting and I just love the way the colors pop.

Breaking the Rules

This might be a boring picture but I still think its cute and all I did to edit this picture was the lighting and just made it black and white.

Focal Point

I think this is a good example of focal point because your mostly focusing on the eyes and most of the rest of the body is blurry and I think that bring out the green made it a lot better.

Overlapping

For overlapping I used the guard rail and the hand rail on my stairs and positioned myself to show that they overlap eachother and I tried to edit the picture of that the railings looked more richer in color.

Juxtapostion

I think this one of my favorite pictures that I could. I put three items close together to make Juxtapostion and I love how I edited the picture to make the items and the color pop and burned around the items and around the picture cause that really makes the items pop out at you.

Radial Symmetry

This is an example of radial symmetry, a simple example, it starts in the middle of the motorcycle tire and spreads out through the picture.

The Rule Of Thirds

I feel that this is a great example of Rule of Thirds. The main focus of the picture is the bubbler which is not in the middle but on the most right side, and i also love how even thought the bubbler is the main focus you still look at the whole picture with the water springing out of the bubbler.

Arrangement

I love this picture, very simple but I love it! This is an example of Arrangement, already placed together outside my home where is a wonderful place to sit and relax on beautiful nights. And I feel that making the picture black and white makes it even more relaxful.

BEHIND THE LENS with Professional Photographer Joey L.

     After reading what Joey had to say in his article I learned he is very dedicated and focused on his work. He does two kinds of photography, personal and commercial. His personal photo's are not for any business man or client but for himself and they are usually taken when he's on a personal trip. His commercial photos are for clients and business men.
     For his personal photos he goes to rural places and meets tribes and tries taking photos of them in their natural environment and yes he has to carry about 50 pound of photo equipment with him. And when he's taking photos of the tribes he takes of the person for who they are.
     Then for his commercial photos he likes shooting those with a more dignified way and not boring and uses a studio light, camera equipment and a laptop, and with his commercial shoots came promotional ads and tutorials. This man is truly an inspiration!

Triangulation

Triangulation, I think this a cute triangulation picture with the triangle right in the middle of the picture with three different items making up the triangle. And I really like the lighting and editing in the picture :)

Back, Mid & Foreground

I think this a cool way of capturing Back, Mid and Foreground, you have the bone then the food bowl and lastly the tire and also have the floor, the dog items, and then the chairs behind that. I also think that the lighting is really good in this picture becuase its bright and capture everything in the picture.

Pictures I don't like

1. I don't like the angle on this picture at all and I just think this picture is kind of boring to me.

2. I don't like the lighting at all, I feel it's too light and I feel like this is just a random snap shot.

3. I don't like how dark the picture is, I think that if they used more light the stairs would have went up more and looked longer and longer but the darkness just cuts it off.

Pictures I like

1. I really like how this picture took to small objects and made them appear larger, and I also like how they blurred the backround.

2. I really like how fun this pic looks and I also kind of like that it didn't use that much color and over do it. And with the girls hand reach back really makes me think about this picture and makes this picture say a lot.

3. First off I love how there is only color in her sunglasses and this sort makes me think that this picture is trying to show how the city is in her eyes.

KWL

Photography is a great way to express yourself and others in many ways. I don't know a lot about photography but I know that it helps when you have a camera, the lighting must be good, you use a flash when its darker out, you can take pictures of anything in the world. Taking pictures of yourself, your friends and your family is a great way to keep a memory alive. Your pictures must have life to them, in other words not a boring old picture and you should enjoy taking pictures.

Like I said before I don't know a lot about photography and taking pictures.
