Period 3 - Semester Final

1. My favorite photo is #5, the photo with the waves and the old lighthouse. I like this picture specifically because it is very colorful. I also like it because the rules of composition included in the photograph, combined, give it a very colorful and creative look out of an everyday situation. My third and final reason for liking this photo is because of its feel. The way the photo was captured from, you can see the sea spray washing up on the lighthouse and the rocks. These details make me feel like I am right there on the beach to experience this moment in real life.

2. I see photo #4 as being the best because of the rules of composition it displays. These rules are: Rule of Thirds, Space to Move, and Balance in the Photograph. It photo makes a situation as mundane as losing a hat seem so interesting and photogenic. Finally, I like it because of my love for airplanes, especially unique planes, such as the Air Force One.

3.I see my best work this semester in my very first blog post: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy3iKpXCigP9f_dLegi3J8AoEy_mIR57zLvZ_MfIgT06E3-OZO-aoVVk0FCE8O3lmhf9vISgl75F9cufLtmEea9Lzuj9J2PP0QzJvefLY_A2sUFP5ax-O8PrvrkqseSi1VCk3EMTWGhWnd/s1600/20140918_111426.jpg.
I see this as my best work because I selected this photo out of 28 other photos and 15 of this exact same subject, the bell tower. This photo also used a combination of Rules of Composition that would later become some of my favorite rules, without even knowing of the Rules. I chose this one because it displays my school pride, this bell tower is symbolic and represents  Mission San Jose High School exclusively.

4. My three rules are: Natural framing, Rule of Thirds, and Depth of Field.

5.
