12 Days of Composition!

Each day we will choose a Composition AND a subject

WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Composition

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Clearly understanding your camera's functions is essential for capturing high-quality images and maximizing your creative potential. We will explore some of the critical functions commonly found in the Canon R50 Mirrorless camera and how they can be used to enhance your photography.

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will follow along with instruction and use what we have learned to handle the camera properly!

COMPOSITIONAL TECHNIQUES!

What are they (From Digital Photo I)

Adding SURREALISM to the mix!

What it is (From Digital Photo I)

If surrealism is randomly selected we will choose 1 subject and you can choose the other 2 items to include!

The Assignment...

For this assignment, you will need to take photographs showing composition techniques. The goal is to capture the essential elements of the image and draw the viewer's attention to those specific details.

This assignment will be a little different...

WE choose what you are shooting! Do Not copy what someone else is doing...be creative!

EACH PHOTO MUST HAVE A HOLIDAY VIBE!

Day 2: Bird's Eye/Triangle

Day 3: Rule of Odds/Celebration

Day 4: Golden Ratio/Hat

Day 5: Leading Lines/Round

Day 6: Framing/Beard or Bow

Day 7: Rule of Thirds/Cold

Day 8: Symmetry/Food

Day 9: Diagonal/Candy

Day 10: Repetition/Trees

Day 11: Fill the Frame/Toy

Day 12: ???

COMPOSITION TECHNIQUES:

Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, Symmetry, Fill the Frame, Framing, Rule of Odds, Golden Ratio, Diagonals etc!

And ones we know already...Birds Eye, Worm's Eye, Shape, Repetition

SURREALISM!

Your task is to take 1 photo each day! (of course you should take more as each photo will be graded on technique and creativity!)

The goal is to use one of each of the compositional techniques! BUT you don't get to choose!

Rule of Thirds, Leading Lines, Symmetry, Fill the Frame, Framing, Rule of Odds, Golden Ratio, Diagonals, Birds Eye, Worm's Eye, Shape, Repetition etc

Remember to be creative! Look for different subjects around campus!

This task will test your knowledge and application of these techniques!

Make Adjustments as needed! (And they are needed!)

Edits are subjective! They are what YOU feel needs to be adjusted. But YOU MUST MAKE ADJUSTMENTS!

If there is anything you want to remove:

Create a new layer and use the Spot Healing or patch tools to clean it up!
