Framing

Man-Made:
 I think this photo works because the frames of the sun-glasses are man-made and they frame the focal point of the picture which is the flower. It also has a sense of depth with the blur in the background.

This photo works because the pot it is inside frames the VW symbol inside, and also the dots lead your eye to look towards the symbol.










Natural:
This photo works because the V-shape of the tree branches frame the skater(me) while I'm doing a toe side check down the hill.











This photo works because the tree branches also in this picture put your focus mainly on the VW symbol sitting in the tree, and also the blurred tree branch in the foreground gives it depth.











Architectural:
 This photo works as a architectural photo because the pipe attached to the building frames the bush very well and leads your eye straight towards to it. Plus also the light compliments the picture well.


This picture works well because the hole in the gate frames the subject very well and draws your eye straight towards the subject which is the person in the picture.









Explanation:
The most challenging part of the this assignment was trying to distinguish the differences of different types of frames used on pictures.

Patterns

Man-Made
I think this photo works as a man-made photo pattern because the metal grate is made out metal which is man-made but has a diagonal pattern that heads out of the picture making it more interesting.
This picture also works in the way that the rusted notches on this man-hole head towards the middle, and the water also adds more texture in the image.










Natural
This picture works for a natural shot because of the fact that the repeating textures of the tree run up the whole tree.This was taken at an angle from just straight up, which makes the tree look giant.
This picture works in the sense that it has repeating leaves throughout the whole shot of the picture. This picture was take up close to the leaves which gives it a sense of dept and field.









Improve:
This picture is something I need to improve on in the way that the horizon line is tilted and shouldn't  be so it is something I need to fix.










Well:
This is a picture of something I do well on because this picture is crisp and not blurry and catches the drops of water on the leaves really well.








Goals:
For the next assignment in this class I want to try and get every picture as crisp as the one above and have at least ten more photos that what is required for that day.

Angles

Above:











Below:












 This photo is my strongest one because I effectively used rule of thirds and leading lines all in this one photo plus the detail in the pole is pretty cool.










Straight On:














Photo-composition:
This is the one photo I feel that uses two elements of photo-composition. It uses leading lines and also frame the picture. And it does well to the picture in the way that it frames the seahorse and the bike rack bars lead you eyes to the subject the horse.






Improve:
For this particular picture next time i would like to possibly not be too close to the subject so it isn't blurry but so that also the background leads up to the subject at the same time.








The most challenging element of this assignment was probably get different shots of the same subject without taking a picture of the same background over and over again. And also making sure that you got all possible angles of the one subject.

Diagonals





















 Horizontals
The picture to the right is an example of naturally 
occurring lines because it is a shadow leading up 
to the leave which is the main eye catcher.






























 Verticals




 This photo is a example of architectural lines in my shot because its part of a bungalow. Some techniques I used were trying to place the wooden pieces using the rule of thirds. This gave the photo a more interesting view.
 


This photo is my strongest photo of all the others because the view of the yellow pole leading up to the blue sky gives it a vast space look.
