Filling The Frame

This photo fills the frame the most because the students in the background are all busy watching the students in the circle at the table putting their hands together and laughing and smiling.

Action and Emotion

The action in this photo is that the guy in the maroon shirt is rubbing the professor's head, the girl in the grey is laughing at them, and the professor is surprised and laughing at both his students. All the people in this photo are doing something with their hands; the girl is throwing her hands up with the papers, the guy in the maroon shirt is giving a noogie to his professor, and the professor is throwing his hands up and laughing.

The Story

The story behind this photo is that 2 female chemistry students were working on a lab experiment involving only baking soda and vinegar. Somehow, they did the experiment wrong and put ice into the glass cup with the vinegar and baking soda and their lab experiment exploded everywhere! This photo tells a story because the expression on the girls' faces tells you that something had to happen that was unexpected in their experiment.

Post Shoot Reflection

1. The challenges I encountered while getting the photos for the first 3 prompts were creativity. I didn't want to do what everyone else was doing, I wanted to be unique and come up with my own ideas.

2. I think I focused mainly on focusing my photos. I really didnt want any of my photos to be blurry, and they werent. I held down the shutter button and waited for the camera to focus, then I took the photo.

3. I would focus on the background of my photo more and make the backgrounds not so cluttered, and I would also avoid mergers sauch as not putting the same colors together and not distracting people from the subject.

4. I would focus my photos are make them clear like they were the time I went out and took the red, metal, and grumpy photos.

5. On my metal photo, I think it explained the framing rule, because the background wasnt cluttered.

6. I wouldnt really like to shoot these prompts again, I think the next prompts should be more creative.

Extra credit response

I think that photo is very sad. A guy committing suicide is sad in general I guess. But if a person has his jacket with blood on it, they must've been some special person. He was a photojournalist and photographer so I dont know why he wouldve committed suicide.

Lines rule

This photo shows the lines rule because the lines are going vertical, making it look like the man is dropping down faster than he really is. The lines are blue and white, therefore creating a little eye tricking pattern in the photo.

Avoiding mergers rule


This photo shows an example of avoiding mergers because no same colors are together, and no people are cut out of the photo. The purple and white are put together in nthe flowers, and the white and green are put together in the bigger flowers. Also, there is no distracting things behind the subject, therefore drawing attention to the subject, rather than drawing attention to something else.
