2012 winners + questions
1. I picked this photo because I loved the way that it looked. Even though it seems somewhat simple, it really isn't. So many things can happen in this photo, plus the person's expression on their face seems kinda neutral or down-ish.
2. The rules of photography that are in this photo is simplicity because this photo doesn't seen to complicated. Most likely because the person who took this photo blurred out the background. If the background wasn't blurred then it will make the photo more complicated because it will distract the viewer from the main subject.
1. I picked this photo because I feel like there is more to this photo then their actually is. It shows that when your in junior year your main focus is on passing the major exams/tests. So everything else around them is only on that of the exam and nothing else but that. Which I believe would be very true knowing that your future could depend on how you do in school. (high school)
2. The rules of photography that are in this photo is either lines or simplicity because in the photo their is diagonal lines throughout this photo because of the lining and because of the books. Also simplicity because to most people it would just be a kid sitting on the ground reading with some books surrounding him.

3. I think we could take photos in the library, science rooms, or just anywhere in general that involves students working on assignments or projects in their classes. That's if we want the photo to be like the ones shown in the link.
4. I would go to the library, musical classrooms, or just classrooms in general that have people working on things that seem interesting to look at. Like not something too common but unique in a way and that has depth in the place or picture.
5. I would not tell the person that i'm taking a photo of them so that they will look natural instead of being un-natural or else it will looked staged. Also I would just wait for what I believe is the golden moment in what they are doing.

Filling the frame
I think the photo shows filling in the frame because the people in the background seem to be very interested or are paying very close attention to the person with the apron. Which might be the teacher of the students with the goggles. Plus they are looking directly at the person speaking, which also proves that they are interested in what he is saying.
Action and Emotion
In the photo, the girl in the middle along with everyone else surrounding her seem to be lifting up a fabric and are trapping the girl in the middle inside. But they look happy while doing it, so I'm guessing that they think that the activity that they are doing is fun since they are smiling in the photo.
The Story
I think this photo tells a story because it shows that the girl and what seems like her friends, are having fun. It shows that they are doing a activity and from the way the girl that is in the air is expressing her feelings, it seems like she is happy and is having fun.

Post shoot reflection
1. The challenges I faced while taking the 4 photos was adding photo composition to each one and thinking which should go which each topic.
2. While taking the photos I was mostly thinking about if the photo was focusing or not, because through the camera it looked somewhat blurry. So I was unsure if it was actually blurry or not, but when I checked them on the computer they didn't seem as blurry compared to them.
3. I found myself changing because when I found something that I think will fit the topic, I would just stand there in front of it thinking which composition I should use which took a while. So when I was actually taking the photo I found myself often adjusting to fit the composition.
4. I achieved rule of thirds, simplicity, and lines in my photos that I had took. I felt like I was taking to long to apply them so I thought of what first came to my mind or what I think would look best when applied to my photos. 1 rule of thirds (metal), 1 simplicity (bowie), and 2 lines photo (happy and square)
4. Yes because I feel like I can do better then I did this time. I will know not to rush if given a second chance and to have more rules to apply to in the photos if I take them.
5. The 3 prompts I think we should do at school are

5. The 3 prompts I think we should do at school are
- Dark
- Angry
- Calming
- I love how her photos seem simple but weren't at the same time. I especially loved the locker photo and how the background on the photo is blurred, so it only focuses on the locker itself. Also that it faded out with darkness towards the end of the hallway. Plus the lockers look never ending.
- In her 'happy photo' I like how it shows the sky when everything else is dark surrounding the sky itself. The picture looks framed with the windows and the shadows in the photo, then the sky is just sticking out completely.
- One thing I think could be improved is the lines photo that she has. If the turning point of the lines on the top part of the photo was cut out, I believe the photo would look much more appealing to the eye or to others in general.
