Week two (6/15) of my first semester of PH 108: DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY with John Trefethen
Please select three of the twelve compositional guidelines discussed, and make a new photograph for each that creatively enhances your chosen subject. You might find yourself combining strategies. All the better, just remember that you need three total images. Push yourself to fit this assignment into your photographic interests. If you love fashion, landscape, documentary, fine art, or architectural photography, then shoot that subject.
Tip: Please only shoot in manual mode, no flash, no b+w, no Photoshop corrections.
Image 1 is an angle shot from a worm's view
Image 2 is color
Image 3 is line
Of the compositional guidelines discussed in this module, which one(s) do you instinctively follow? Which one(s) do you have a harder time remembering? Why might this be the case?
The guidelines I think I naturally follow would be simplification, rule of thirds, truncation, angle view and line. I have trouble with elongation and juxtaposition. I think that I don't remember them because they are new to me and I have had little practice with them. I hope to remedy that soon.
