This is going to be where we can all post our images for the assignments. This way, the assignment images won't get mixed up and shuffled around within my main blog!
Framing: All great and what I understood framing to be! Leading lines: My eye followed each "line" to the subject Depth of field: clear in the front on the subject, not as clear in the background. So I think that is what we were supposed to do. Perspective: cool and unusual. I thought #2 was seashells until I enlarged it and saw it was jewelry in a basket! Rule of thirds: Mine was dull, but the other two were great! you see the whole grid thing in your mind.
Leading lines: I especially like #2 & #3. I like the sort of severe angle/perspective from the slide up. #3 seems like it could be used for almost any of these categories, really well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing.
Depth of field: i didn't grasp this concept very well, so they both look like a successful job to me!
Perspective: #1: i love the angle of this perspective because it got the tops of the trees behind her, it almost looks like she's up in the sky. #3 i love how low to the ground it is, definitely makes everything look more gigantic.
Rule of thirds: #1 is especially balanced I think, i like it a lot. although i think mine (#3) is a pretty picture, the focal point does sort of creep into the center instead of staying on the bottom third.
I feel everyone did a great job on this assignment. Framing: All framed. I wish #2 would have had Cylie's face sharper. Leading lines: All great examples. Feel like I could walk out to the beach on #1. Depth of Field: Hmm, only 2 photos, but both work. Interesting that they are both birds. That rooster looks fierce. Perspective: Changing the perspective does make interesting photos. # 2 is lovely and so sharp. What kind of camera took that? I think I need one. Rule of thirds: All look good to me. #3 What a beautiful sunrise/sunset.
Framing 1. Great job with the framing. The foreground "framing object" is there but does not obstruct the photo and does add a sense of depth. 2. I can tell you you understood the framing assignment, however the subject should be the obvious focal point, where here I am focused more on the "framing object" than the actual subject. It could be that the focus is sharper on the red arch or it could be that the red arch should be cropped so that it touches the edges of your photo and then it would look more like a frame and less like part of the actual photo. 3. Again, I can see that you understood the assignment. Not the most interesting photo to look at. If you were focusing on the birdhouse, maybe you could have gotten closer so that the windows framed it from the background, then we would get less other stuff in the photo. It fulfilled the criteria for the assignment, though.
Leading lines 1. I love that the lines lead both to the beach/horizon line and they also lead to the people/dogs at the end. Even though there is a lot of foreground that is still nice to look at, my eye automatically goes to the end of the line. 2. Great use of lines (as well as perspective) in this photo. Not only do the lines lead directly to the subject, but one line leads directly to her face at the right. 3. Love the use of the fence as the line, as well as the more subtle lines in the grass all leading toward the house/garage at the end. This is also an excellent example of a rule of thirds photo. 4. This photo definitely shows the leading lines going off into the distance. I think this photo could have been improved quite a bit if you had taken about 3 steps (after looking both ways of course) to the left and taken the picture straight down the road. Great idea, though!
Depth of Field 1. Great focus on the bird with the background being out of focus! Also a good example of the rule of thirds. 2. The photo could have been a little sharper, but it is a great use of depth of field. Also, it is usually pretty hard to get a good focus on a subject through a fence without the camera focusing on the fence itself so I think you did a great job there!
Perspective 1. This is a great example of a perspective that wouldn't normally be seen of a child as most people taking the photos would usually be taller than the child and would automatically take the photo from their normal eye-level. As she is still little, it isn't as much of a problem, but this perspective tends to make her legs look much larger than they actually are and this does not flatter most girls when you do it! :-) 2. Great job on the close-up. Not many people would usually be at that level with this sort of thing, so it totally fits the assignment. I also like how you cropped off part of the edges. If it had just been the same photo with a little space all the way around it would have been much less interesting to look at. 3. Great job with the lower perspective. This one also has great leading lines! Not sure what they would be leading to though. I always like a lower perspective on things, because it helps you to see them in a way that you may have never looked at them before! Great job!
Rule of thirds 1. Great job using the rule of thirds. My only comment here would be that I can't see her eyes because of her hat. That doesn't have anything to do with the rule of thirds, but when taking portraits of a person it can make a big difference. 2. It's almost like you drew out the grid with the fence! The head is placed right where it should be for the rule of thirds and again, you did a great job not focusing on the fence which is very hard to do sometimes. 3. Great use of the rule of thirds. Your horizon is in an excellent spot. The sun is a little close to the middle to meet up with the actual grid, but I'm assuming you were going with the horizon part of the rule firstly. My only comment on here is that the horizon is crooked. This either has to be fixed in something like Photoshop, Preview, iPhoto, etc by cropping the picture and turning it, or when the photo was actually taken. It is not crooked enough to be distracting, though.
