picture examples

An example of simplicity in photography, because all you see is the pen, and there isn't a full background.

who: blue dry erase marker

what: blue dry erase marker

when: yesterday in 7th period

where: computer lab

why: It was simple and I had to show an example of simplicity in photography.


This is a picture of a blue-dry erase marker, which was sitting on a table yesterday in 7th period in the computer lab. The marker was on the table because the classroom is a learning environment, and dry-erase markers are often used in teaching.




 



An example of close-up in photography, because the lense is closest to the main subject.

who: Anna thostenson

what: typing her assingments

when: 7th period yesterday

where: computer lab

why: to exemplify a close-up


This is  Anna Thostenson, after typing on her computer in 7th period yesterday.  She decided to make a funny face while the picture was being taken, to make the picture more interesting.






This is an example of a frame within a frame. The window frame is the frame within the frame.

Who: Ashley 

what: making a funny face

when: yesterday in 7th period

where: in the junior hall

why: to show what a frame within a frame is. 



Ashley was standing on the other side of a school door yesterday when Brittainy took a picture of her making a weird face. 






The lines in the concrete are examples of leading lines in photography, because they draw your eyes towards the table, the main subject.


who: Picnic table

what: Picnic table

when: Tuesday

where: Outside in the concession area

why: to exemplify leading lines


This is a picture of one of the tables in the outside concessions at school. It was taken on Tuesday when the area was completely empty of people.






This is an example of the use of rule of thirds in photography, because the main subject is not centered, he is off to the side.


Who: Erik Lindeman

What: covering his face because he was mad at Hiller

When: yesterday 7th period

where: digital photo classroom

why:to show the rule of thirds

 

This is Erik Lindeman in the Digital Photo classroom yesterday. After sitting at his computer reading the day's assignment, he decided to sit on the table and cover his face because no one would listen to his complaints.

Simplicity: Definitely a simple picture. Couple be improved by having the pen in focus (mainly). Also try other camera positions. Close to one end with the pen moving away down a diagonal for instance. Focus is key though.

Excellent caption

Close up: This close up is focused well and Anna is on a third intersection. It could be improved by utilizing simplicity by removing the distracting background items (i.e. the person merged with the frame).

The caption would be better if it did not talk about the photo event ... "Anna Thostenson makes a funny face after typing her assignment in the computer lab 7th period yesterday." Something like that. I'm sure you can do better than what I have.

Frame within a frame: You need to take your own pictures. Pictures taken by others will not be accepted (though the caption will).

Caption: Again, rarely should the caption reference the photo being taken.

Lines: The lines do lead you to the table. The picture also utilizes thirds. It could be improved by removing the car in the top, and perhaps shooting from an angle that removes the bright light area.

Caption: Same issue.

Rule of thirds. Good framing. Improvements: remove the shirt and paper (distractions.) Possibly include his feet in the shot. The computer on the right is good because that's where the horrendous assignment is. Perhaps move the keyboard into the frame.

Caption is good. It has no reference to "this photo". Though you don't need to say, "This is ..." Say instead, "After sitting at his computer reading the day's assignment in digital photography, Erik Lindeman sits on the table and covers his face because no one would listen to his complaints."

i really like all the pictures except rule of thirds because erik lindeman doesn't look good in it. :) and your second frame within a frame is much better
