Academic Shoot Reflection.

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you?

I think framing was the hardest rule to capture. Because you have to set everything up in a way where everything is seen. Also framing is just a hard rule to find, because it is so sparse.

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.

I think I worked really hard to make sure all of my pictures were focused correctly. I held the camera steady and changed some angles to make things I wanted in focus, in focus, and things I didn't want in focus, not in focus.
3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

Just look for more opportunities for the rules. Some of them were so hard to find, that I was rushing to find the prompt, then I didn't really achieve everything I had hoped for.
4. What things would you do the same?

Focus the camera, make sure the lighting was correct, get everything I needed, and keep everything I didn't out.
5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?

Rule of thirds. Because all you have to do is put it in a corner and its automatically rule of thirds.
6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?

Framing again! Because you really have to set yourself just perfect at the right angle to get a good framing shot.
7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?

I think I'm still not a hundred percent on the framing. I could research a little more and find more examples to clear my mind on what is and what isn't framing.
