Assignment 3

I attended an ab class at the Colvin. I chose this picture because not only could you see the emotion on the girl's face, but it follows the rule of thirds. The legs also act as leading lines and create repetition in the photo. I had trouble with lighting because it was a weirdly lit room, but overall I like how this photo turned out.

Assignment 3: Disc Golf

On a nice day at Boomer Lake, you can find many disc golfers playing the course.   I walked around the course with a few different groups of golfers to get some photographs. I factored in many aspects when composing my picture.  I went in the afternoon in hope of the best natural lighting.   I am pleased with the lighting that was available and sun placement. I like the effect of the shadow of the man to fully show his form.    I positioned him on the right rule of thirds, while positioning the skyline on the upper rule of thirds.   I timed the photograph where you can see the disc reaching the basket, while he is holding another. The dense horizontal line of trees on the left side of the picture also brings the eye toward the moving disc.   I am also pleased with the strong contrast of colors between the tan of the grass and blue of the sky.

Assignment 3 -- Colton Clason

Philip Jurick about to bat the ball back to the Cowboys

In this picture, I tried to line up the jump-ball with the rule of thirds. The white jersey on Jurick stands out in contrast, and his arm provides an upward line that brings the eye to the ball, which is framed by the white background. The horizontal bar above the ball brings the eye to the student crowd waiting for the game.
