For this assignment, we were instructed to take 17 pictures to demonstrate 17 compositional techniques. We were shown examples and then we went around the school to try and find them with our own eye. After taking them, we edited all 17 pictures. I tried to match the elements of each rule of composition to its picture, and I think I did a pretty good job at finding them. I think my strongest picture is my closeup. I used bark just because I thought it would be an easy example, but when I started editing, I changed the cast, and I ended up really liking the picture. The details were exposed more than usual, and the blue moss was very prominent.
