1. This assignment was particularly hard to capture. To take photos that told an interesting story and at the same time was simple, aligned or balanced, was a challenge I hadn't taken before. As an amateur photographer before this class, I did not know about the six rules, and just took photos that looked good. But now, instead of a free and open field, I had a prompt, and requirements to fulfill skillfully.
2. I was mostly thinking about keeping it simple, and balanced. I don't think too much about shooting in landscape or portrait format; I usually just shoot in landscape. Rule of Thirds got me thinking about intersecting imaginary lines and how objects have a certain dynamic and focused appeal when shot correctly.
3. I would pay attention to leaving more space to allow action for the subject, avoiding cutting off certain aspects of an image, as well as leaving out other subjects and details unimportant to the frame.
4. This is my first time in a class, and I believe that I have a good grasp on photography, but only a lucky amateur's grasp. I still have a lot to work on but I believe my use of Balance is one of my better traits that I use.
5. Despite its name, the rule of Simplicity is not the easiest, simplest aspect to achieve. Rule of thirds, and Framing tend to be difficult. I think next time Balance and Rule of Thirds are going to be easy for me to complete.
6. Lines requires a very specific path sight line to a subject that will help the viewer identify the subject. Or, Lines also can be a culmination of shapes and patterns found hidden with in the subjects or its surrounding environment. I think this will be the most difficult to accomplish.
7. I'm still not completely clear on the aspect of Lines. I can help myself understand this rule by looking up photos, specific to the rule of Lines.
