Favorite Photo:

My favorite photo was the one with the boy pouring two different colored liquids (one green and one blue) into a glass cylinder vase that had purple liquid in it.

1. I picked this photo because I really liked the way the photo was taken more than anything else. The way the background was out of focus, but the subject (the boy and the objects he was holding/using) was in focus. This technique just make the photo very interesting and made me want to keep looking at it.
2. A rule of photography evident in the photo was the rule of thirds. The rule of thirds was expressed by the placement of the boy's hands, which weren't quite in the center. They were more in the one/third of the image which is why this photo contains the horizontal rule of thirds. The photo also contains the rule of balance because the boy and the glass cylinder with the purple liquid in it is fairly in the center and the boy is holding one glass flask that is the same size in each hand.

Pre-Shoot Questions:

1. I think I could take photos like the ones I saw in classes that are doing something interesting and more active than just doing a worksheet. Classes like chemistry that are conducting experiments, theatre that are performing, or art that are creating projects and artwork would be great classes to photograph because there will always be an interesting subject to take a picture of.
2. I would like to take photos in Ms. Holloway's class or Ms. Cornwell's class to take a picture of the students, if they are performing. I would also like to photograph Ms. Lozano or Ms. Davis's class t take a picture of the experiments they are conducting, if any. Also I'd like to take pictures in art classes and just around campus of students studying or doing something interesting.
3. To get amazing photos like I saw today, I will move my camera and take more control of the images I take by thinking them through and catching different angles to get better lighting or just an over better view of the subject. Also I will keep in mind the rules of composition for photography when I take pictures so that I can take a picture that is visually unique and nice to look at.
