Composition Assignment

The Assignment:
   This was our first assignment in digital photography, and for it we had to take eleven pictures, each one representing one of the eleven composition elements of photography. This was a way to introduce us to standard photography techniques and how to use the camera properly.

What I Learned:
   I feel like I have improved my photography skills very much by paying attention to these simple elements. I'm proud to say that so far this class seems to be one that will allow my skills to grow with each passing assignment. I learned the basics of taking a great picture, and I am excited for the next assignment so I can put my new found knowledge to the test again!

Photo Descriptions:
  • Rule of Thirds: "girl working on clay pot"
  • Pattern: "yellow and purple push pins"
  • Symmetry: "row of computer cubicles"
  • Texture: "basket for a plant"
  • Lines: "staircases"
  • Depth of Field: "227 with Morris Code"
  • Framing: "soccer goal"
  • Perspective: "Light on ceiling"
  • Space: "trashcan on wall"
  • Color: "ribbons"
  • Balance: "orange juice"
