Composition Assignment 2

For this assignment, we explored 5 more elements of composition: Space, Perspective, Balance, Color and Framing. To show space, I took a picture of a defibrillator with a white wall as a background. To show balance, I took a picture of the Commons up on a balcony. I use the darker wall and rail of the balcony to balance out the white walls and bright lights of the Commons.
My perspective picture is grapefruit sitting on my kitchen island. By taking a picture from below, I could show a different angle of looking at the fruit rather than straight on.
Finally, my picture for color was the "Dig For the Cure" sign. It shows color because the background is green and has some trees, and then there is a splash of pink near the middle. Color was difficult to show because there are not many bright colors that standout and depict a mood in the school.
From this project, I learned that it takes a lot of work to take quality pictures. I also learned how ISO, aperture, and shutter speed work together to make a picture better. I was able to learn how to use these functions in more ways on my camera.
