A Splash of Red

Dramatic lighting

Spring break/ choice

Film: Rule of thirds/ Lines.

I used this photo for an assignment showing the rule of thirds. I think it works because the fence lines intersect at the correct point. I also am happy with the fact that Herbert and the fence are kind of the same color and blend in a little. 

This is a photo of my dog Sam crossing the cattle guard in front of my house. I used it for the lines assignment because of the way the shadow from the dog make interesting lines and shapes which really helps the composition.

Film: Shallow/ Great Depth of field

I am happy with the way this photo turned out, I used a larger aperture to blur the background. The texture of the tree came out very nice and really helps this photograph work. 

This photo is not my favorite. Its relatively dull had has little to no subject matter. Its supposed to show great depth of field but for some reason it is unfocused . 

FIlm- Portraits and Getting Close

 This is probably the billionth portrait of my dog. I am pleased with this photo because it has some personality to it. Even though it is centered, I think it works because it has a slight A-symmetry because of the way her head is tilted.

This is a photograph of an old tractor that sits in the back of our yard. I used it for getting close because I thought it had unique lines and would be an interesting subject choice.
