Rule of Thirds: Best way to do rule of thirds is to have the object you take a picture of intersect with the vertical and horizontal lines.

Balancing Elements: Some pictures look better when the object is not in the center!

Leading Lines: You can lead a person through lines in your photo to make them more interested in it.

Symmetry and Patterns: If you use both symmetry and pattern in your picture, it can make the composition look better and the way they are set.

Viewpoint: The view of your picture makes a great difference of whether its good or great!

Background: The background of your picture determines how good of a picture it is.

Depth: The depth of your picture makes it look a lot better because of the medium and ground background.

Framing: The subject of the picture should be alone by itself, so trees and holes are great for the edges of the composition.

Cropping: When you crop an image you take out the background “noise” which makes it easier to focus on the subject.

Experimentation: You have to experiment your shots to see which ones came out good, and it will make the picture stand out in the open. You’ll never know until you try!

I couldn’t take my peep anywhere so I took a picture of it next to my fish.

This assignment was good because it taught me more about social issues.

This was my favorite one because i like the flashback picture.
