Horizontal lines
for this image I used a different angle on the bench to make the image seem like it was using horizontal lines as my compositional element. Jan 9th 2024
For this project I decided to use this compositional elements because I've actually become very comfortable with them over my first semester and I feel as thought i understand them the most when taking my photos. although I would like to start trying new things and not just sticking to my comfort zone and taking the easy way out.
Life at night
for this image I decided that I wanted to not completely place the building in the middle of the photo, but higher up. I also wanted to keep all the negative space at the top of the photo so that it's a less distracting element. Jan 10th 2024
For each of the subjects that I used, I did decide that it would be kind of cool to make a photo diary out of places and things that I see everyday. taking the bus everyday shows me some cool landmarks and walking around campus also gives me cool ways to incorporate compositional elements and seeing as I use my laptop everyday and it's a big part of my school career I decided why not make it apart of my photo diary.
Rule of thirds
this image I decided to use the rule of thirds element. I also liked how well the snow makes the colour green stand out of everything. Jan 11th
there is a bit of a story behind photo number 2, it was the night after the big storm we had gotten and I was a waiting my bus to come but I had already been standing outside waiting fro 45 minutes the I too this photo. the lights were what really stood out to me and the fact that I actually had time to look around. the couple bad parts behind this photo were the fact that I had to end up waiting an hour and a half for my bus and also it was -14 c and very windy outside. Super cold!!
before the storm
this image was a mix of rule pf thirds and a bit of negative space. I really liked how the clouds looked in the photo but it's kind of hard to tell they are there. Jan 12th 2024
for this project the challenge I really faced was the fact that I had difficulty with my phone camera for most of it, I was having technical difficulties with the focus aspect on my camera. I tried my best to make my main subjects in focus but I really struggled with that aspect. especially in picture number 4 you can't really tell what is supposed to be the subject even though I wanted to make the clouds the main focus but it's kinds of lost.
Windows
this photo I used framing as my compositional element, I feel as thought the sign is a bit of a distractive element but it could also be considered rule of thirds is some circumstances. Jan 13th 2024
personally I feel I achieved new aspects and levels of my compositional elements and I also feel as though I took the time to take my photos and prioritized them. I did also take the time to make some edits to them. I learned that with this photo diary if you actually want to follow the rules you will actually find the time to take the photos on the day. I decided that for it to be a true photo diary you need to take the photo on the day that it's supposed to be taken.
Keyboard
this image uses vertical lines as the compositional element Jan 14th 2024
Depth
this image uses depth of field as is compositional element and could also be considered diagonal lines but that isn't a very strong element in this case. Jan 15th 2024
