Reflection:
  1. What camera metering mode (evaluative/matrix, center-weighted or spot) did I use for each image and why?
    1. For all of the photos, I used center weighted metering because all of the photos have a subject that needed to be exposed correctly. 
  2. What white balance settings did I use for each image?
    1. auto
    2. auto
    3. Sunny
    4. Cloudy
  1. Do I have a strong composition? Give specific support as to why/why not.
    1. Yes, I think I have strong composition. In image 1, the rail frames the subject really well and I also like how it looks like she is "spilling" out of it. In image 2, although the "frame" does not have all four sides, it still causes the audience to focus in on the subject because it is framed by two fixtures. In image 3, the leaves and branches of different depths, and the web itself frame the spider. In image 4, the steps frame the subject that sits in the middle.
  2. What would I do differently if I shot this assignment again?
    1. If I were to do the assignment again, I would re shoot the third and last. I feel like (for the third one) that I could have found a better angle for more framing. For the last one, I would have the subject maybe step down one step so they are in the very middle of the steps (so that there is red all around her).
  3. Do you think your photo(s) should be considered as one of the best from your classmates? Why or why not?
    1. No, I would not consider my photos the best of my classmates because there is a lot of room for improvements and more creativity.

Assignment #4: Composition

Image
Leading Lines: Diagonal Lines (best): I think this is one of the best because of the lighting. I really like how you can see the source of the light and how it reflects on the ground. In addition, the diagonal lines lead you to the subject clearly.   Texture (best):  One reason I think this picture is one of the best is because you can clearly see the texture of the tree. Also, those lines, as well as that of the actual trunk serve as a diagonal leading line leading the eye to the end of the tree. Lastly, the color of the tree trunk and branches contrasts with the sky.  Framing (best): I think this picture is one of the best because of the shape of the "frame". Also, the contrast of light in the "frame" and what's in the distance is really nice. Lastly, I like all the leading and diagonal lines in the picture that lead the eyes all around it.   Rule of Thirds:
