Line and Shape: Assignment One
S P I D E R
WHAT LOCATIONS AND SUBJECTS DID YOU SHOOT:
I took the photo in my backyard. I stood on the group, but titled my head and hands to get the tree from the side instead of straight on. I managed to also get a spider in the center.
DESCRIBE THE PHOTO YOU TOOK:
This gives the viewer the perspective of the spider, where instead of seeing the tree vertically, you see it horizontally. It creates a direct split between the "spider's world" and the rest of the world.
WHAT IS THE DISTANCE IN THE SHOT:
The camera is pretty close the subject. It was necessary to get close up to be able to focus on the spider.
IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPH HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL:
Horizontal.
DID YOU CONSIDER THE RULE OF THIRDS:
Yes. I used the bottom gridline as the line that the tree and background split. I also used it to center my spider, deciding that it would be better if the focus is in the middle considering how small it is and how busy the photo already was.
WHICH ONE OF YOUR PHOTOS HAS A DYNAMIC COMPOSITION:
The photo of the ivy (not the close up one) helps lead the eye throughout the photo. The ivy is jagged but loops around the photo nicely.

PATTERN AND TEXTURE: Assignment Two
H A N D
What is the distance in the shot? (How close or far away are you from your subject?)
Very close.
What was your point of view when you took the photos? (from above, below, straight on...)
Straight on.
Is your photograph horizontal or vertical?
Horizontal.
Does this photo follow the rule of thirds? Why or why not? (Describe).
Yes because the split is along a third.
Is this photo an example of pattern, texture and/or rhythm? Explain.
Texture because the hand and the bus seat cover match in an odd, cracked texture.
Which image is the best example of a properly exposed photo? Explain why.
The seats. It's an indoor photo but it still balances lights and darks well in the photo- especially where the background challenges that.
