Now that you have found good examples of the different composition techniques in 9/11 photos, create A NEW POST (it can be new pictures to follow the rules too) and write a reflection FOR EACH IMAGE.
Explain your choices. Help me understand how the photo you picked meets the rule you think it shows.
What to discuss - Be specific - Describe specific elements in the photo. Explain what the technique is all about. Explain the EFFECT of the technique.
If you can't remember all the rules, here is the website again:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/192HfRA92dE7FSuc3UNKx8eswGOvWk4loZv2jcsrTE8M/edit?usp=sharing
Example
Below you will see examples of a well written description and one that isn't so great:
Lines
Example - In this photo, the red stripes of the flag and the grey ladder all form lines that lead the eye to the man playing the bagpipe. Since these lines are diagonal, they give the photo a dynamic feel.
The above example is the correct amount of writing and analysis.
Example - The flag makes leading lines to the guy.
The above example is too short and doesn't really show me that you understand the rules.
Do this for all six of your posts or all six of the photos in your post.
If you think you didn't pick a very good photo, feel free to go back and redo the assignment. Eventually you will be asked to prove your knowledge by taking photos that show me you understand these rules.
Second Assignment:
In a second blog post - titled "post shoot reflection" - answer the following questions:
1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 prompts?
2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.
3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
4. What things would you do the same?
5. Finally - go back and edit your blogs with the 4 photos, tell me what rules of composition (which you just learned about) did you end up actually achieving? Did you have any?
6. Are you interested in shooting those same prompts again, why?
THEN in the same post called "post shoot reflection":
Step 1: Find the link to your blog on the Bowie PhotoJblog. On the student blogs list titled MY BLOG, go to a class period that ISN'T your class period. Pick someones blog and click on it. Go find their prompt/free shoot - square, metal, happy, Bowie and take a peek at them.
Step 2: On your blog copy and paste the link for the student's blog.
Step 3: Write two positive things about the photos.
Step 4: Write about one thing that could be improved in the photos.
Step 5: Leave them a comment on their blog about their work. You can choose to write something clearly positive, or you can choose to leave a comment that is constructive criticism (something that is written in a positive way, but makes a suggestion on something they could have done better).
I will grade both that you did this correctly with a DIRECT LINK to their blog, and I will grade the comment you left them for appropriateness.
