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 Tue/Wed)
Your next task:

Shoot Tue/Wed looking for leading lines, frame withing a frame, balance, & perspective/viewpoint. You will be turning in 16 INTERESTING shots using the four techniques described above in each image. Expect that you will take 30-40 pictures to result in 16 good ones.

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 technique.
