Part of a graffiti-covered cement wall vs. pebbles. Yup.

Journal #4 - Framing and Rule of Thirds

Rule of thirds. The stop sign and the tree are both on vertical hot spots, and the roof of the houses and the street itself are on horizontal hot spots.

Yep, this is seriously a boat. In a forest. The boat itself is framed by the two tree trunks in the foreground and also by the green foliage.

A Day in the Life

Ah, school. How could I represent a day in the life without including such a wonderful institution of learning excellence? This was taken from where my locker is. School is such a big part of my life it just had to be included.

My ancient toaster that I picked up at an antiques store awhile back. This photo definitely portrays my life accurately: I'm disorganized. That is clearly shown in this photograph. However, one of my only hobbies, playing piano, is reflected (literally) on the shiny chrome of this appliance.

My faithful pooch, Jake. He's a big part of my life (and has been for 14 years!) He's constantly

trying to mooch food off of someone or begging for attention. He's also super camera shy for some reason, and the fact that I even got this shot is a miracle!

School again...

On the road! I love roadtrips and I go on trips all the time, no matter where to. I just love the feeling of being in a vehicle for some reason.

Journal #3

The photographer got this shot using a normal shutter speed and an aperture setting of around f5 to get the focus on the flowers themselves, leaving the background slightly blurred to accentuate the bright yellow pansies.

The photographer got this shot with a very fast shutter speed of 1000 or more. The foreground is in focus while the background is blurred, meaning the photographer probably used an aperture setting of around f5 to get the effect.

The photographer used a super fast shutter speed and an aperture setting of around f2 or f2.8 because it was shot indoors under what is most likely tungsten light. The glass itself is not in extreme focus so this is likely.
