Light Photo-shoot Journal Entry
When taking photos, the lighting is one the most important aspects of shooting. Obviously without light you can't have a photo, but in this case we are talking abstractly. Taking photos by working the shot and finding unique designs cast by light can create moods and feelings inside of the viewer. The dark and light are powerful tools of shooting with lighting. During this photo shoot my favorite moments were talking all of the indoor light photos. I sat stressed out thinking "how the hell a, I going to find cool light designs in my home." So while sitting on the couch I saw sun coming through the blinds and there was my first shot. From there everything was smooth sailing. My favorite part of doing this project was the post production work.

Composition Photoshoot IV: Symmetry Journal Entry
Symmetry is not a shape, but it is one of the most important aspects of photographic composition. Every time you see a photo that looks unorganized and you cant't look at it satisfied is caused by bad symmetry. Symmetry is used in photography to supply a photos viewer with a relaxed observation of the photograph so their eyes are wandering everywhere crazily. I thought that this project would be difficult, but considering I completed it in about 30 minutes, it was very easy. Symmetry makes my photos better by not allowing them to seem messy and confusing anymore.

Compositional Photoshoot III: Shapes Journal Entry
In photography, circles, squares, and triangles are all compositional rules and techniques. They are used in photography to do the same as lines. To draw attention to, or to highlight a desired object. Personally, I think that this project was easy, but the only thing I had a hard time with was the combination photographs. It was difficult because frankly, it was hard to find shapes within shapes.This technique helps make my photos better because now I can implement shapes into my photos to create a sensational perspective to my viewers.

Composition Fundamentals Photo-Shoot II: Lines Journal Enrty
In photographic composition, there are 5 types of lines used. Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal, Jagged and Irregular, and Leading Lines. All of these types are used in different ways in order to draw attention to, focus, and balance photos. For example, leading lines are used to draw attention to an object as the leading lines will show depth. For me doing this project was pretty simple. Given that we were at Wilson for the photo shoot, I had plenty architectural lines around me. Be it stairs to electrical cables from building to building. After learning about line composition, these will make my photos much better because instead of just pointing and clicking, I know how to "work the shot" with these composition skills.
