Nature Hunt Reflection

I took pictures of different kinds of plants and trees as well as some landscape pictures. I set up my scene with moving the object so it was eye appealing so a person would want to stare at a tree for more than 7 seconds. I incorporated rules of composition by avoiding distractions. I also incorporated elements and principles by using value. I incorporated my voice by taking pictures up close to create emphasis on the certain parts of nature that I like. This assignment made realize that food photographers must really love their job, it was a really fun assignment. My strengths in the assignment include taking pictures up close. My weaknesses include trying to be creative and thinking outside of the box on how to set up my scene. If I could change anything it would be trying to go incorporate my voice in a creative way.

Gif

For this photo shoot, I created a gif. I chose to include my piano and also included my concert treasures in the background to show my voice and love for music. I wanted my audience to see how much music means to me and how it's involved in my everyday life hinting that this was taken in my bedroom. My strengths was incorporating my voice, but a weakness that I think I couldn't ace the technical part of the rubric. I enjoyed making this gif because it was easy and fun to do!
