For This assignment we were told to gather 18 photos, one for each rule of composition, And we were Allowed to use a few photos from our camera roll that weren't taken for this project. A majority of my photos came from either around my house or from when I when on a moose hunt a few years back up in northern maine. I found those images worked well with the Horizon rules, as well as, the Far Distance. As you can see most of my images have a darker tone and that's because I like the ominous feeling it gives the image to make you wonder why is that normal picture supposedly mixing up my anxiety

If i were to do this project again I would probably try to take more engaging photos instead of use a bunch of past photos. I think I could have done better with the editing as i did feel I went a little overboard in some parts. Overall I think this was a fun and well accomplished project.
