Rule of Thirds

We continued focusing on a corner of the imaginary grid we visualize while taking the photo. I chose to make this series a very literal representation of the "rule of thirds" technique. I found objects that were not surrounded by much, but stood out and could directly show the part of the grid that I chose. 

The Rule of Thirds

For this assignment we researched the "rule of thirds" method and tried to use it to help us position our frames. Before taking the picture we divided what we saw through our lens into three parts. (imagine a tic-tac-toe looking grid running through what you see) In order for us to come out with a good composition, we had to place the main object of the photo into one corner of the intersecting lines on the imaginary grid. With moving objects or objects that were long, we learned that you have to make sure it has room to "move" within the photograph. There has to be room to elongate the path of the object.

high school

Our last part of the Blast From the Past assignment captures the most current section of our high school years. This is a time where our hobbies and interests are at their strongest and we are getting to become for familiar with ourselves. I captured the strongest factors in my life and portrayed it  in this group of pictures. Working hard, becoming an aunt, reconnecting with my brother after 7 years, choosing the right path/making the right decision,  keeping up through busy schedules, and really valuing sleep.

Pre-teen/middle school years

As we continued out Blast from the past assignment, we moved on to the most awkward time, our middle school years. Middle school and pre-teen years were the weirdest because you're getting older as well as figuring out who you are. Your interests develop and your taste and judgements are becoming more defined and specific. We looked for ways to represent this part of our youth and incorporate our strong interests within.
