Vantage Point

Reflection: I think my favorite photo was the birds eye view with my dog because it was different then what angle I would normally use. I also thought it was very creative to take it this way because you can't really tell how tall he is but only the length of his body. This is what the birds eye vantage view did to make this affect of how tall and long he is. This picture is much more different and unique then other pictures I've taken of him in any way.

Written Reflection:
The top three photos that I took are...the first one of fill the frame(yellow flowers), the second one in the category of simplify(side way view of eye), and the third of the first one from Pattern/Texture(flowers in a row). I feel that these are the best because they were taken in the way and angle I wanted. The flower one was taken up close to be nice and clear then the background was a blur. It was interesting how I took the picture without noticing how nice everything matched up and became nice with the colors. This picture was one of the best ones because it matched nicely with the definition of a picture with the composition of "simplify", it was different and had less in the frame. I thought it was interesting to take the picture from the side because it made you focus on the eye even though part of the picture wasn't just of the face. I thought the third one with the flowers in a row was a best one because it matched perfectly in the category of a pattern(flower sizes). Also interesting because it was something unexpected to be a pattern when some were blurred out and others focused on. To complete this project I had to understand how to follow the rules to the compositions we had to choose from. So I chose to pick fill the frame, simplify, pattern/texture, and leading lines. For fill the frame it was to have the focal point  fill a lot of the frame so it's obvious what we're looking at. Then to simplify we simply look real close at what we're looking at. The pattern/texture composition is to take a picture that has something to relate to a pattern and/or texture. Then leading lines is anything that is a "line" and leads to an object, person, or the focal point.
