Composition Assignment

The Assignment:

       Our first assignment for Digital Photography this trimester was called the Composition Assignment. This assignment consisted of two parts. Each part had elements of composition that you need to represent in each photograph. There were 11 total photographs you needed to have by the end of the assignment. The first part of the assignment had six elements of composition and the second part had five elements of composition. I learned a lot through this first assignment. I first learned all about how the camera works- like what buttons do what, and how to use the many features the camera has. I also learned about the elements of composition. For instance, perspective. The perspective of a photo makes it much more interesting to look at when you're shooting from an angle. Getting down low or very high can give you a good perspective on a photograph.
