Shooting Composition

These two pictures show the element of Depth of field . The pictures have the flowers in a "dull" background , this brings the attention to the flowers. This certain background isolates the picture to catch your eye ,or the picture takes the "subject" (flowers) and reveals its surroundings more than it is already.

Composition Rules and Guidelines

In the article above I liked the rule of  Golden Triangles and Spirals it shows you how the picture could be divided and how to emphasize the roundness of an object .
  

   In this article i liked the rule about Leading Lines it  is similar to the rule of lines that the human eye is drawn into a photo along lines , this article mentioned that the way you place your lines in your photo affects the way we see the image. 

 In this particular article I liked the element of Depth of Field because it explains how if you place your "subject" in a certain background it will isolate the subject and then that "subject" will be the main point that catches your eye.

  In the last article I liked the Rule of Thirds because "elements in the scene intersect with the points where the lines cross " this shows that all the picture is balanced.

   In this article i liked the Diagonal Rule because it taught me that when you see roads or streams you see the diagonal rule in motion , right there in front of you.

First Portrait Assignment

 I think i did an ok job at getting the person to forget the camera but i don't think the forgot completely about the camera taking a picture of them .

This is an example of pattern because the windows are small , regular , regular , and small. Also the bricks are stacked in a repeating pattern. Pattern was what my group focused on.
