This picture of the ground is being used to show texture. I think that the crack down in the middle of it gives it more dimension.
This is a picture of a sweater. I tried to focus the camera and get a close up of all the threads that it's made out of.
I chose to do leaf photography because I've always loved the way that leaves look. I especially like that I got to do this assignment during fall because that is when the leaves are the prettiest in my opinion. I chose Mike Moats as my inspiration because he is a plant life photographer. He has many photos of leaves. From him, I learned that a simple or solid-colored background can make the leaves seem more vibrant. I also learned to angle the camera in a certain way to give the photograph a more exciting view.

Throughout all these photos I used low and high camera angles. I also chose to take some of the pictures closer to the leaf than the others. This was because I was trying to take photos that proved to be more dramatic than others. I tried to angle the camera in a way I thought would fit with the leaves' shape and uniqueness in color and detail. In some of the photographs, I tried to capture the shadow that the outline of the leaf made. You can see in some of the photographs that I chose a certain angle so that the shadow of the leaf would appear a certain way.

Filling the frame is when the main subject of a photograph takes up a large portion of that photo. Filling the frame causes the photograph to have less negative space and more positive space because of how focused it is on the main subject.
This compositional trick causes the main subject to seem large and more dominate. This is because when we filled the frame it took away from the distracting background.
Filling the frame strengthened this photograph by showing the unique details that you wouldn't have gotten from an average frame. The flower looks a lot more dominant standing out from the grass, trees, and other flowers.
The compositional trick causes the main flower to be focused more than the background flowers. This causes us to be able to tell what the main subject was easily.
Using the fill-the-frame technique causes the viewer to be able to see the close up details of the flowers. Using this technique causes the flowers which is the main subject to be more focused and dominate than the background which would not be the case if we used a normal frame.
Using the fill-the-frame technique caused us to be able to see more detail and color change in the eyes. We can see each strand of her eyelashes which we wouldn't be able to see using a normal frame.
The rule of thirds is where the main subject is 1/3 of the way to the right or left of the picture.
This picture of the tree shows the rule of thirds by having the root of the tree 1/3 to the right of the photo.
This picture shows the rule of thirds by having the tree which is the main subject 1/3 of the way across the photo from the right. With there being a dramatic background it can be hard to tell what the main subject might be.
This picture shows the rule of thirds by having the deer on the right side of the photo 1/3 of the way. This photo is slightly off-focus because of how fast I was trying to snap the photograph.
The sunset is supposed to be the main subject of this photo. It shows the rule of thirds by having the sun only coming from 1/3 of the photo.
This photo taken from the West Baden Dome shows the rule of thirds by having the statue 1/3 of the way across the photograph.
Low camera angles happen whenever you place the camera lower than the subject and take a picture at an angle. This causes the subject to seem more dominant since in a way it's standing over the audience. High camera angles are the opposite of low camera angles. To take a high-angled photograph you place your camera above the subject and angled downward. This causes a dramatic difference, it causes the subject to look fragile or diminutive.
I believe that in this photo the downward angle gives off an eerie feeling, like knowing what's waiting for you at the end of a pathway.
The angle in this photograph is directly pointing downward. It gives the feeling of going on forever.
The angle in this photograph is looking up upon the stairs. To me it gives a frightening emotion because of how the lighting is only at the top of the picture.
This photograph gives the feeling of calmness. I believe this because of how peaceful the clouds sit in the photo and how blue and dull the colors are.
The photograph of the basketball hoop is shot from a downward angle. The angle causes the subject to seem very dominate and important. In a way it makes it seem like the basketball hoop is looking down on us.
