 Rule of Thirds My inspiration for this photo was the overwhelming amount of blue I saw in the scene, despite not much blue being there at all. To solve that, I edited the photo to show what I saw in the scene. I wanted to emphasize the mailboxes amongst a blue road and dismal gray buildings, so I incorporated the technique "rule of thirds". I believe this photo was the best representation of the rule of thirds technique because the other two did not show it as clearly. Frame Within a Frame When coming across this setting, I immediately had an idea on what I wanted to do with it. The darkness of the garage combined with the color pallet of the scene inspired me to take a photo of this setting. This was definitely the best representation of the "frame within a frame" technique as what is being seen has multiple layers inside each other, each layer portraying a different mood.   Close Up As Cally and I were walking with the rest of the group, I noticed...

Photographers tend to use contact sheets such as these to provide the viewer an organized format for them to view all the photos as a collective project. To do this, I arranged my collection in order in a grid form with top/bottom margins of 1.0" and left/right margins of 0.75". Because of the lengths of some of the captions, the sizing and placement of the photos had to be compromised, making it look slightly messy. Despite this inconvenience, all the photos are in order and are relatively tidy.
