TAKE NOTES! you need to have notes which include definitions for:
  • leading lines
  • frame withing a frame
  • balance
  • perspective/viewpoint
  • cropping
  • background
  • depth
  • Symmetry & patterns
  • rule of thirds (you should know this by now!)
(notes will be checked on Monday)
Your task (and homework):

Shoot today looking for leading lines, frame withing a frame, balance, & perspective/viewpoint. You will be turning in 16 INTERESTING shots using one of the four techniques described above in each image. Expect that you will take 30-40 pictures to result in 12 good ones.
You do not have to shoot outside.

Please use rule of thirds and remember that the subject should fill the frame. Remember you will take anywhere from 30-40 pictures. However, you will only need to turn in your best four pictures for each composition.
