Post Shoot Reflection:
1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos for this semester exam?
Some challenges were thinking about what to take a picture of and making sure it fit each word
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 found myself thinking about framing the most because i wanted to make sure everything was right. For the symmetry one i was really making sure it was all centered, i tried my best.
3. Is it clear to viewers looking at your photos what the subject is?
I think its pretty clear on what each my photos mean and i think its somewhat clear to the viewers
4. If you can't very clearly see what the subject is, what could you have done differently?
I probably could've put some more thought into it and done a different angle or something like that to make it more clear
5. Which rule do you think was the hardest to capture?
I think framing because trying to find something that fits that description for me was pretty difficult
6. What rule(s) are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?
Probably framing because like i said before it was the hardest one to capture and i can read more about it and figure out what the description means in more detail to be totally clear on it.
