Post Shoot Reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 4 prompts (Square, Metal, Happy, Bowie)

Bowie is a considerablly large school with many people in it, so it was hard trying to shoot a photo without someone making an unwanted cameo in the background. I had to shoot some photos multiple times because I would realize there was a random person in it. 

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 am new to photography so getting the camera to focus was a task, but I warmed up to it. When I first received the camera it wasn't in focus which made me a little panicky, but I quickly realized how to focus it so all was well.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?
I was already familiar with most of the key rules of photography prior to this assignment, but maybe in my future photography endeavors, I will try positioning my actual body and switch up some camera angles for more interesting photos.

4. What things would you do the same?
I would utilize the six rules again. 

6. I would probably like to shoot the Bowie prompt again because there are so many things that could encompass Bowie in a photo. For example, I think the photo I shot of the "Keep Out" sign represents the restrictions that are put on Bowie students such as dress code, shortening of passing periods to only 5 minutes, only seniors being able to go off for lunch, and so much more.
