Academic Shoot

Avoiding Merges

I feel like i did an okay job on following the rule because i didn't cut anyone important off. Its a full picture of students on their computers. It seems noticeable of my subject, which should be most of the class except the guy turning around that gets every-ones attention. I probably could've gotten a better picture of the dude in the far left wasn't in the picture.

Rule of Thirds

My subject is to left of the photo, making it count as the rule of thirds. I think i did a good job on this rule because the subject is easily identifiable. It should be simple for anyone to know what my subject is because he is the one that the lens is focused on. I could've been a better picture if i would've gotten a different angle of the guy, or if i could've gotten more of his face.

Lines

I feel like the subject of this photo is the flying taco thats coming out of the cannon. I didn't think i did too well on the rule this time but you can somewhat tell what i was trying to capture.  The smoke is shooting towards the taco making it be the center of attention. The smoke that is shooting upwards is giving the the taco the attention. Viewers should be able to notice the main subject in the air. i could've gotten a better picture if i had gotten behind the cannon and shooting a picture from the canons perspective.

Balance

I think i did pretty good on this rule because In this photo you can see the 3 subjects that seem to be looking at one another in form of a triangle. The subject on the far right is looking at the subject in the middle, as he is looking at the 3rd subject to the left who is looking at subject 1. Its like a cycle. This photo shows balance, not only because of the 3 subjects formed in a triangle, but the background is also a triangle. This should be an easy guess for viewers to know who and what the subject is. This photo could've been improved if the girl on the far left wasn't in the picture at all.

Framing

 I think i could've done better on this rule because the framing isn't complete. You can see what its focused on, the 3 subjects behind the chair. The chair is blurred out but still in the photo. You can clearly see who i was trying to capture in this picture. I think i could've done better if i would've seen another subject to blur out, so the focused subject would stand out more.

Simplicity

I feel like i did good enough to follow the rule of simplicity. My main subject is the girl in the middle, she stands out from the simple background. The background is light causing my main subject to stand out. Its easy to tell what i was trying to capture here. I could've done better if i would've gotten a closer picture of her without any other interference of anyone else.
