Reflection

This project was very eye opening, it changed my view on photography by showing me that it is more than just taking photos at random places and moments.  Obviously my favorite rule was rule of lines because my eye is drawn objects that show this rule. My 1st favorite photo is the one with the tree and the fog in the rule of lines category. I like this because you are able to see the fog in the background and the dark green tree and brown trunk make the picture look dreary.  My 2nd favorite photo was the one with the truck and open field that I did for the rule of thirds category. I really liked this one because the dark clouds make the green and yellow field pop out a bit more.  I also really like the cloud structure and the color change from grey to white to pink. My 3rd favorite photo is the one I took of Andy sitting on a bench that I took for the rule of thirds. Although Andy may seem like the main subject of the photo, it is supposed to be what he is looking at. To understand this project and successfully complete it I had to research a lot of rules and take many photos until I got the ones I wanted.
