Artist Reflection

          In my photo shoot I believe that my Horizon emphasis is the strongest, or best shot of this picture, because it follows the exact guidelines of that rule. On the opposite end of the range, I feel that my many subjects picture was lacking because I felt that it was just a lazy picture. I can improve my weakest picture in later projects by putting more effort into the look of the picture. To edit my pictures I used Photoshop. In Photoshop I used the vibrancy, color balance, and the lightening tools. I was able to meet the goals of this assignment by following the rules of composition. The easy part of the assignment was editing my pictures, because I got to play around with the Photoshop settings until the picture looked good. The difficult part about this project was going out and getting the pictures, Because I had many things going on that weekend. If I could do the assignment again, I would not forget to take more pictures. I would give myself a 4 or a 5 out of 10 an an effort scale for this project.

composition

                 Rule of thirds: I chose the rule of thirds because it touches at least two of the cross heirs.

        Foreground: The foreground is emphasized with the horizon in the back upper half of the frame

                          Horizon emphasis: The horizon is in the bottom half of the frame

 Leading lines: the road automatically makes you want to follow it, as well as the power lines in the                                                        upper left hand corner of the picture.

                                             Simplicity: The vegetables fill the entire frame.

                   Avoiding the Bulls eye : The subject is avoiding the middle of the picture.

           Side lighting: The light of the sun was coming from the side and giving better lighting.

                       Multiple subjects: There were multiple subjects in the form of vegetables.

Why the picture of the Falling Man is in the time magazines top 100

    In my opinion the reason that the picture of the Falling man is in the time magazines top 100 is because its one of the few pictures that depict someone dying that day. It is also a picture that makes people feel something, because the photo is a quiet addition to the events that day, but the picture speaks volumes by the meaning and context of the picture.
     I feel that the picture is in the top 100 of time magazine is because it is an important part of our history and it shouldn't be forgotten. It  is a very plain picture is sight, but the reasoning behind it is one that we should never forget.

snapshot vs. artistic photos

      the difference between a snapshot and an artistic photo is that a snapshot is taken quickly and without thought, while an artistic photo takes more time and effort, as well as  possible editing.
