Foreground Background

In this assignment, we were challenged to focus on a subject in the foreground, without excluding the background. All these photos focus on the subject in the foreground, yet emphasis is not lost in the background.

Leading Lines

 This assignment required us to use lines to lead into the background, allowing the observer to follow the lines to create a sense of depth.

Rule of Thirds

The assignment was to portray the rule of thirds in our photos. We were to take photos that either divided the background into thirds or that placed the subject into one of the intersections of the thirds of the photo. To further understand the rule of thirds, we were also encouraged take photos that divided the background into thirds and placed the subject in the intersections of the thirds at the same time, and to apply the rule of thirds to dividing and placing in fourths. The first four shots are of division, the second four are of placement, and the last four are of either both or use of fourths.
