Post Shoot Reflection

1. While I was trying to take pictures of my first four prompts around Bowie, I encountered the problem of not having very many ideas of where to take interesting pictures.
2. The technical aspects of photography that I focused on while shooting was focusing and holding the camera correctly. An example of what I did to do this correctly was I focused on a flower to blur out the background. 
3. If I could do the assignment again, what I'd do differently, now that I know some basic rules of photography would be to try and do more techniques to make my photos more interesting. For example, I would try and take a photo with lines leading toward the main interest in the photo.
4. What I'd do the same is blur out the background for some of my photos and take more photos of flowers.
5. I did use some rules of composition in my photos. I used rule of thirds, simplicity,and balance, and I showed that with explanations in my blog post titled "My 4 Best Photos" and below.  
6. I would possibly be interested in shooting the same prompts again because I'm not sure if I could find more photos showing Bowie spirit. However, I would like to take more of my own ideas for photos. 

My Photos and the Rules of Composition I Used:

This photo shows rule of thirds because the flower is in the right upper corner, which makes the photo more interesting. 

This photo sort of shows symmetrical balance because the flowers on either side of the butterfly are pretty even.

This photo shows simplicity because the background is very plain so you can focus on the center of interest. 

This photo also shows rule of thirds because the flower, or center of interest, is in the upper left corner, which is one of the places where the eye naturally falls, making the picture more interesting.

Drue's Blog:

1.  One thing I liked about Drue's blog was how Drue made everyday things look interesting. 
2.  Another thing I liked about Drue's blog was the angles that she took the photos at. 

• One thing that could be improved is Drue could focus on the point of interest more to make the photo more interesting.
