The lines in the field show a great repetition across the photo. They lead the eyes back and forth and make you notice the rows.

This photo shows repetition by showing all the blue sheets in a pattern. It draws your eyes to notice the lines inside the photo.

The Blues

The repetition in this photo is the seats with the screens on them. It leads the eyes straight down the middle.

Multimedia

A. What skills in addition to photography did Melanie Burford utilize to produce this slideshow?

She had to get up close with everyone, and enter their life. She had to establish a personal connection with them.


B. What was the effect (added power or meaning) of the multimedia effects of the slideshow.

It shows how strong everyone had to be through this time, and the struggle that they faced in these times.

I really enjoyed the interactive map it set up a good guideline to everything and was very informative.


1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get close, capture real moments, and capture action or emotion? How did you deal with these?

While shooting i found it hard to set up a shot i thought was good, i worked very hard on my composition and using the rule of thirds. I just found good unique places to shoot.

2. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) did you find yourself thinking about the most, and how did you make sure you did these correctly?

I worked very hard on getting the perfect angle and focus for my shot. I made sure the shot looked good before i took it.

3. Describe how you attempted to use at least one of the advanced composition techniques when you shot.

I tried real hard to use the rule of thirds in all my pictures.

The photographer had to be standing close to the field, on the sidelines perhaps. He definitely had to be close though.
