DOF Reflection

Describe: 2-3 sentences

I took pictures of mother nature and fun things that I found along my way. I basically just drove around Noblesville and took country roads that i've never taken before. My goal was to find new locations and to be inspired as I found new sites.  

Analyze: 2-3 sentences

Rules of composition made my pictures better by getting close with my shallow photos, contrast added a new element to some and rule of thirds helped my place my depth of field photos. For example I used get close in this photo, it added texture to my shallow photo which made it seem more realistic. 

Interpret: 2-3 sentences

In my practice shoot, I included coffee cups, a cactus, and a boquet of flowers - which were all gifts from friends. I wanted to speak the importance of my friendship and how much I appreciate the things they give me. My subject matter /  theme of the great and shallow depth of field shoot was nature. I wanted to emphasize the beauty of the elements of nature and the natural beauty that surrounds us.  

Evaluate:-4 sentences

I really feel like my strengths in this shoot were the shallow shots, I think I have a really good understanding of getting close and blurring my backrounds. However, I feel like I can work on my great depth of field photos. Some of them were blurry and I think thats due to my shutter speed. So I need to work on that setting, and I also need to work on knowing when to use my tripod as well.
