Academic Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? I encountered many challanges because many people were distracted by us taking photos and they would try to pose for the camera even after we told them not to. It was also very hard because many people were up moving around and you only had one chance to take the photo and if it didn't come out right you would have to come up with a new idea of something else to shoot.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
I mostly focused on framing the picture correctly during this shoot. Because it was difficult to shoot people moving around constantly I wasn't able to focus on any other technical aspects.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
If i could do the assignment again i think i would try shooting at different angles and not be so limited with all of my photos and have more of a variety to choose from.


4. What things would you do the same?
I would keep all of my same ideas for each of the rules.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?
I believe that the easiest rule to achieve was framing. Classrooms are filled with chalk boards, colorful borders, and papers all over the wall. I thought that framing was going to be the hardest but most of the pictures i took all could of represented framing perfectly.


6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?
The hardest rule to capture for me was lines, because most of the classrooms that we went into had there desks sort of clumped up together instead of in straight lines.


7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
The only rule that i've had trouble with was balance. In order to figure out what the rule is i could easily go back to the website that is posted on the blog and read it over again.
