For this assignment we first learned about what cameras are available to us for use, such as a point and shoot camera or a Single Lens Reflex Camera (SLR) and then we talked about the camera body and how the photos are created. After the camera, we learned the 11 basic elements of composition and took notes to understand how composition makes a photo visually appealing to your audience. After finishing our notes, we were given an assignment to shoot photographs containing the elements of composition. We then chose the photo that best represented each element and those 11 photos are pictured below.

Previously I had taken Multimedia in middle school so we used a few of the composition elements to create visually appealing photos. Although, in this assignment I learned a lot about balance, texture, and lines, elements we didn't necessarily learn in middle school. I really enjoyed learning and understanding how placing your subject at different angles or places in the photo can effect how balanced your photograph is. I also liked reading about lines and the many different types (converging, horizontal, vertical, and diagonal) and how each type of line can act as something different. For example, horizontal lines often act as a dividing point in a photo while converging lines are used to lead your viewer's eye to the focal point. Overall, I enjoyed this assignment and re-learning/learning the basic composition techniques needed to shoot better photographs.

Hi! My name is Maddie Luther and this is my blog for my digital photography class. I am currently in my senior year of high school. Next year, I will be attending the University of Louisville where I will also continue my competitive swimming career. In my free time, I like to to be active by visiting new places and try new foods. I took digital photography because I previously took film photography and really enjoyed taking photos and developing film. I am also excited to take digital photography because I enjoy taking pictures, especially when I am on vacation, and I hope to have better looking photographs in the future.
