Start Snapping Project

I chose this picture as my example of the rule of thirds, where you are supposed to move your focus from the center of the picture. I loved this picture because it's happy and she is looking into the area of the picture so it exemplifies the perfect rule of thirds picture.

This picture represents repetition. I liked it because of the shadows the bottles cast, and the contrast of the yellow on the red paper.

This picture is from the worms eye view of a bunson burner in a chemistry lab. I thought this was so interesting cause of the pictures, and it's hard to be able to tell exactly what the picture is of.

Rules 10 and 11.

Rule nine was to watch the light, which means to be aware of how the light is hitting your subject. This may require you to re-position the person or object you are photographing in order to avoid awkward shadows, or weird lighting. This rule was not too hard, but it really impacted the way my pictures came out.

Rule ten was to be the director. This means, when taking photos of people, it's important to arrange them the way you want to make the picture interesting and work. This involves telling people where to go, and how to be. Although this rule seems simple, it is very affective in making natural looking cute pictures of your friends.

Iconic photo.

This week in Photo J class, we had a project where we had to study a historic picture and present it to the class. My picture was of the horrific massacre at Kent State University. This happened on May 4, 1970 during a student let protest against the Vietnam war. The Ohio National Guard fired 67 shots into the crowd of students, killing four and injuring nine. John Filo, the photographer, who at the time was an undergrad student at Kent State University won a Pulitzer Prize for it. This photo is extremely iconic because it brought up many questions about freedom of speech. The horrific thought of college students dying brought this problem to the attention of people nation wide.
