Reading Assignment

The article I read was titled Photo Fever. It talked about a lady who was a stay at home mom who wanted a new hobby that combined all of her favorite obsessions. She started photography with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel. She didn't have the fancy equipment or rooms, but took all her photos on her 62 acre backyard,and in her town in Ontario. She found the best results were in her own kitchen with her own creation of backgrounds. She used black velvet in her kitchen on the table and chairs. She also used chairs because she received more natural lighting with still lifes adn lit portraits. She used Adobe Photoshop for a majority of her photos. She liked how it opened routes of creativity. She wishes to take more photos with little editing. She has taught classes at high schools and had students place in a local competition. She now looks at all objects in the eyes of a photographer.

Assignment 2



















Axial Symmetry. These head locks where
in single file and liked the angle that they
were already in.




















Interesting Aesthetic. My eye is focused on
the "U" clamp, but the whole image I am still
able to focus on.














Juxtaposition. I arranged where the cow, clock,
and ribbons should go.















Triangulation. The branch and needles form a triangle.















Filling the Frame. The branch is the main focal point.















Breaking the Rules. The cow should not be in the center.















Focal Point. The larger ring takes up the frame and
is clearer.














Radial Symmetry. The colored stone stands out
and brings out the rest of the ring and background.















Rule of Thirds. The ring is not in the center, but is
still the focal point.














Arrangement. The tire was resting on the antique
stove outside my house. I liked how it was by the tree
and I just moved the tire over so it was resting on the
stove not the tree.
