MIDTERM PORTFOLIO

RULE OF THIRDS

1. The rock is proportionally to the bottom left where the cross hairs are, and it also uses a good shallow depth of field.
2. Something that might make this photo stronger is to focus in more
on the rock.

FILL THE FRAME

1. The wheel is a good example because the only subject in the photo is the wheel and the shallow depth of field focuses your attention on the wheel.
2. Something that might make the photo better would be to have a different colored background.

LINES

1. This photo is da best for lines because the lines are in focus and lead your eye towards the bluriness.
2. Something that might make this picture better would be to have a subject that the lines lead to.

ANGLES

1. This is da best representation because the angle is kinda different and uses a line to point your eye to the focal point.
2. Something that might make this photo better would be to have the subject closer.

PATTERNS

1. This photo is da best because with the yellow lines contrasting with the green it gives a clear definition of patterns on the leaf.
2. Something in this photo that would make it better would be to have some better lighting.

FRAMING

1. This photo is da best because the sunglass frame points you focus straight on the reflection of the flower.
2. Something that might make this photo better would be to focus tighter on the flowers reflection.

ABC's

1. This photo is da best because looking at the photo and the angle it clearly shows a X shape plus with all the little bits of dirt outlines it.
2. Something that might be better in this photo would be to have a little better focus on it.

SHUTTER SPEED

1. This photo is da best because I was able to turn up the shutter speed and capture them both in the middle of a stride.

2. Something that could be better would be to focus in a little tighter on them.

PANNING

1. This photo is the da best because of panning because it has the driver and car in total focus with the background blurred.
2. Something that could be better would be to focus in a little tighter on the subject.

DEPTH OF FIELD

1. This photo is da best because it has him in total focus and the background in total blur. So it focuses your attention on him
2. Something that could be better in this photo would be to get a little less light.

WILD CARD

1. This photo is my wildcard because I like the lighting and the use of repetition of leaves and also with the foreground being blurred and the background too.
2. Something that could be better in this photo would be the lighting and having it a little bit lighter.















RESPONSE QUESTIONS:

1. The biggest challenge in this class would be trying to get as much good quality photos as I need to obtain in one hour. I would say that I have been able to overcome this obstacle. There is nothing Mr.P can do to help me overcome this.

2. My biggest success in this class would be turning all photos on time and getting high quality pictures. This stands out to me because I feel that I am doing my job correctly. This will help me on my journey into second semester because I will be able to keep up with the work.

3. Something that I am most interested in learning next is to take all my skills like rule of thirds, Apeture technique etc. and honing them all together and putting them all into one photo to produce a high quality picture.

4. One thing that Mr.P can do to improve the exprience might be to just keep on doing what he is doing.

5. One thing that I can improve in this class would be to pay attention and listen closely to what the  assignment and make sure I follow all directions.
