September 10, 2015 Photo of the Day
1) Describe this photo in terms of Line, Shape, Color, Texture, Space, Form
The photo is fairly monochromatic with a lot of brown throughout, but has a bit of a bright blue that stands out against the brown. The main subject is placed closer to the camera, but facing the opposite direction which gives a lot of space in front of him. The line of the stairs gives a very rough looking texture.
2) Describe this photo in terms of Balance, Repetition, Movement, Emphasis, Rhythm.
There's a sense of the photo moving away from the camera as the boy is moving. It also has a sense of repetition with the railing. There is a very strong emphasis on the boy because his bright sweatshirt stands out from his surroundings.
3) Thinking about the terms listed above which is most important and WHY?
In my mind at least, emphasis is the most important because I feel that a great photo should center around whatever you want to showcase.

Photo of the Day September 10, 2015
1) Why do you think the photographer chose to create a black and white photo for this photograph compared to a color photograph?
Black and white photos have a much bolder look to them than color photographs do because of the contrast.
2) Why do you think the photographer chose to create a "blurry" photograph?
I think the photographer chose to give a blurry effect to change the mood of the photo and make it more mysterious.
3) What are your thoughts on the perspective of the photograph?
Honestly, I think it's very strange and I don't see how it improves the photo. It reminds me of something a security camera would've captured.

Photo of the Day
1) What type of aperture/shutter was the photographer using in this photograph and why?
A low aperture was used with a fast shutter speed. I can tell this because the photo is very clear, with a deep depth of field. The motion is very crisp which is common in high shutter speeds.
2) What do you think about the photograph?
I think this is a great photo. It does a really good job of capturing movement and freezing it.
3) What was confusing to you about the discussion we had yesterday/today regarding shutter and aperture (DOF)?
Nothing really, I understood the concept quite well. I guess it can be pretty confusing that in both cases, the larger

Photo of the Day - September 22, 2015
1) What, specifically, about this photograph gives it a strong composition?
The photo has a really high contrast which can make it look very interesting. Also, it has this blurring which gives movement along the lines.
2) Do you think there was any editing done to this photograph? Explain why or why not.
Yes. I think it's pretty safe to say that the saturation and maybe even the hue were amped up to give a more green color. Also, the contrast was probably increased to make the dark spots deeper and the lights whiter.
3) What type of shutter and aperture setting was used to help create this photo, and why?
A slower shutter speed was definitely used to create movement in the photo. There is not a massive depth of field, so I don't think the aperture was really high or really low
4) How are you going to capture line in your upcoming shooting assignment? What are some examples of place you can go, things you can photograph that have interesting LINE?
I plan to focus on the lines of things such as trees, bridges, and streets. Tonight I'm going for a hike through the woods, but I also plan to walk through the central neighborhood and downtown area.

Photo of the Day October 12, 2015
1) What is happening in the photograph?
It appears that a man is falling off a cliff and holding on for dear life. But in reality he's laying on the ground
2) Is this an example of strong composition? Why?
Yes, it uses the rule of thirds very well. But, I don't like this image at all.
3) How do you think the photograph was created?
By laying on the ground, right in front of the subject and then rotating it.
