first shoot reflection

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos of your first 3 prompts (Red, Metal, Happy)

    There weren't that many objects that resembled 'happy', so I had ended up getting shots of people. Also most the 'metal' objects that I wanted to get pictures of were outside and it was raining.

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 think that I tried to avoid the mergers. When I was trying to get the shot of the 'metal' object, you can see the car in the parking lot that was cut off. I tried to balance the two cars in the shot, but their position made me have to just try to balance it the best I could. I really didn't want the cars in the shot, but I had to make it work.

3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

   I would probably try to focus on getting better angles and trying to find better objects to get pictures of.

4. What things would you do the same?

    I might probably go and take pictures of people for the 'happy' category.

5. Are you interested in shooting those prompts again, why?

   I like the idea of having to shoot from only a few categories of something simple, but I wouldn't want to shoot this one specifically because there aren't as many things from the prompt around the school as I thought there would be.
