Scanned Picture 5

This is a picture of me and my friends when we went camping when we were little. This picture has good and bad parts about it. The good parts are that The picture has okay lighting and every one is in the picture. The bad parts are that the tent isn't centered, its only part in the picture. Also, the people are so far away its hard to tell who they are. If my parents had zoomed in a little, maybe the picture would have come out better. Also, if they zoomed in a little more, than the tent flaps would have created a "rule of thirds" effect, by having them fill the first and last thirds of the picture.

This is a picture of me and my friend in preschool. This is a pretty good picture, but my parents could have done a couple things to make it better. Firstly, they could have waited a couple seconds later, that way, I wouldn't have food in my mouth and my friend's eyes would be open. Besides that, I guess they could have got the two mother's butts behind us out of the picture. For the goof things about this picture I'd say, they did a good job of center us rather than follow the rule of thirds. I think it look better this way. Also, I thing they had good light for this shot because it is easy to see us, and our faces are not in shadows.

This is a picture of when I was picking strawberries when I was little. This is not a very good picture. This picture is a good example of why you shouldn't take a picture at noon. At noon the sun is right above your head, and this creates shadows over people's faces. As you can see, my hair blocked out the top part of my face and you can't really see me. To make this picture better, my parent should have taken the picture right when we got to the strawberry field, so the sun wouldn't be so high in the sky. Also, they could have asked me to look up a little bit, or pull back my hair, so that my face wasn't all in shadows.

This is a picture of me and my brother on our deck. this is a pretty good picture. This picture follows the rule of thirds. The first side of the deck is in the first third, me and my brother are in the second third, and the second half of the deck is in the third third. This picture also has good contrast between the subjects and the background, so you can tell what is us and what isn't. Also, the picture is if focus. One problem is that there looks like there is a small tree growing out of my brother's head.

This picture is from when I was a little kid. This picture has good and bad parts of it. One of the bad things is that my parents probably took this at noon, because I have dark shadows on my face. Also, whoever's leg is in the bottom of the picture was not in or out of the picture. The person who took the picture should have moved the frame so that the second person was either all in the picture, or all out of the picture. One of the good things about the picture is that the subject (me) is completely in focus. Also, I am doing something I would naturally do, they didn't pose me in any way. Lastly, the background creates good contrast with the subject, so it's easy to tell which is which.

Picture 1

This picture is a good picture, because it follows the rule of thirds. As you can see, the moss on the tree is in the first third of the picture, and you can see more lines in the bark in the last third of the picture. This photograph is also an example of macro-photography. Macro-photography is the feild of photography where pictures are taken at close range. Macro-photography is easy to take today, because most digital cameras have a macro setting on them.

Picture 2

This picture is a good picture, because it follows the rule of thirds (the flower is in the last third of the picture.) Also, this is a good picture because it is down on the level of the flower. Also, there is enough contrast between the flower and the background so you can tell which is which. This picture is a another good example of macro-photography, which is when pictures are taken at close range.
