My Take on The Rules Of Photography Project

I thought our group worked alright together, however we did fool around a bit and waste a good amount of time that could of been used affectively. Although we did complete the task, we did not finish in record time. I thought we got our point across, but maybe next time we should try to work together more and more cooperatively. As for the jobs, we weren't quite as organized as we maybe should of been, we kind of just did whatever and took turns. I found myself just sitting around a few times as I felt their were too many people trying to accomplish one thing, also for computer trouble reasons. All in all I did enjoy this project I just think we could've worked better and used our time better so I will remember that for next time. If I was to rate myself on 100%, I'd give myself around a 75%-80%. And as a group maybe about a 80%.

One important rule of photography is the rule of thirds. It’s a skill of NOT always centering your pictures. Think of splitting the picture into thirds. Two lines horizontally and vertically separating the photo into nine sections. You want to place your subject on one of the four points on the imaginary grid. It adds effect when you make it seem as if the subject is heading toward the middle of the picture. When taking your pictures, don’t cut off from the legs or ankles. Take a full body shot or from the waist up.
