Post Shoot Reflection

1. In the "Red, Metal, Happy" photo shoot, I had a hard time being creative. I tend to over think things, so I kept wanting to make the pictures complex and more interesting, but with not being able to change lighting or sometimes not being able to get the right angle got in my way and aggravated me. Also, the day I got to take pictures I couldn't go outside, because it was cloudy and rainy. I had a good idea for the happy part of the shoot, but since it was so cloudy and rainy outside, that ruined what I had in mind.  I wanted to get to where I could get a shoot of the sun, and involve some other things, but I couldn't see the sun anywhere.

2. I thought about angle the most. In a lot of my pictures I use a lot of angles and different perspectives, but when I was trying to take a picture of maybe a poster, it was hard to get what I wanted because sometimes there would be a fire alarm right where the camera had to be, or something along those lines. I am always constantly thinking about how I could get a better angle.

3. If I could go the assignment again, I would try to get some pictures that have more lines, because none of my pictures had that element. I also would work on framing, and balance.

4. I personally think I do a good job with the rule of thirds, and avoiding mergers. So I would keep the positioning of the subject the same, since I use those rules by habit anyway.

5. Look at "Red, Metal, Happy" assignment.

6. I would be okay with shooting these prompts again, but not very excited. I could definitely improve on the prompts, and use more the of rules of photography, but I would like something a little bit harder or different. I do though, need to get out of my comfort zone, so doing the prompt again would help with that.
