Academic post-shoot AND Peer Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? 
One of the challenges I encountered with taking these photos was getting a good picture showing the rule avoiding mergers.

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. I was always looking at the focus to make sure that the photo I took was clear and focused on the right subject. A way I did this was to make sure that before I snapped my pictures, I looked very carefully until the photo was in focus. Then I proceeded to take the photo.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography? I would look for photos that are maybe a bit more clear as to what they are showing. Instead of having a photo that could fit into two of the categories, make sure it's only one.

4. What things would you do the same? I would keep looking carefully to make sure that the camera is in focus before taking the picture. I think that this was a very important detail in order for my pictures to turn out the way I wanted them to.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve? I think rule of thirds will be the easiest to achieve, personally. Everywhere I looked I saw a photo that could easily be rule of thirds, but had to make sure that I got my other photo rules.

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture? I think avoiding mergers will be the hardest to achieve for me. This rule is just not something that I see everywhere, I really have to look for it, and make sure it works with the rule.

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is? I'm pretty sure on all the photo rules now. However, when I first went out to shoot, I didn't know what avoiding mergers was exactly. That was until I got back in class and had it explained.
