What were you asked to do? I was asked to take three different pictures using different angles to show how the perspective effects the photos. Why is it important to do this It was important to do this so that we can see how different perspectives effect photos. We may not think that it actually effects photos, but the perspective does and it shows us that the smallest things effect photoes What event/situation/subject did you decide to photograph and why I chose to photograph my Couch because it is where I sit almost everyday. I watch the news in the morning and sometimes sleep on the couch so I thought that I should photograph something somewhat meaningful How did you approach the challenge? What was difficult or enjoyable? I approach this challenge with an open mind and ready to capture something intersting. I captured pictures of squirrels and the nature scenery but then I decided I wanted to photograph something important to me. Wide Angle Medium angle Close up

This photo holds a deep connection with me because it represents something far greater than just a simple subject standing on a rock. The subject is mainly me, but you could say that some minor subjects could be the rock, trees, water, and pond. In this photo I am posing on a rock as I look into the morning sunlight and see the reflection of the two buildings in front of me. It took almost 30 minutes walking from the hotel to Central Park to catch the glimpse of the early morning sunshine however it was all worth it as I was able to think back to a past time when I enjoyed the ducks and the swans swimming the water. It was a breezy morning which is why I was wearing a heavy jacket, and their were birds of many kinds around me such as pigeons and bluejays, and I was able to listen to the sound of their chirps. This photo was taken a week ago and even-though it is recent, it reminds of a few years ago when I was also at Central Park enjoying this view from the bench. I used to come to this location all the time when I was living in NYC and so this place holds some meaning to me. The reason why I was documenting myself standing on a rock is because I did that same pose three years ago and looking back it shows my growth. When you look at this photo, it fills you with a sense of calmness watching the tiny waves in the pond and the bright sunshine. The subject which is me is interacting with the water and it looks almost as if I am about to jump in. Overall, this photo shows that we can each find calmness in our own places that our unique to us.
This photo is a "Wide angle shot" and it is so impactful to me because the wide angle shows us how far police are willing to go in order to stop the protests and how persistent the people are to protest and show what they believe. This was known as the (Umbrella protest). There have been constant protests in Hong and slowly it has started elevating. Even recently, a journalist has been blinded in the eye with a rubber bullet as well as a young women in hong kong. This is so impactful to me because it captures the full scenery of the current situation in Hong Kong and shows how far police and people are willing to go in order to get their way. There was once a saying that said "Wherever there is a will there is a way," and this photo is amazing because it captures two different sides of the protests, civilians on the left, protestors and police on the right, and police infront and the people in the back. (Photo by Wally Satana) I think this photo is so impactful because it shows the seriousness of the protest and how dire the situation is. Everyone is preparing to wear almost, toxic suits in order to survive the tear gas being thrown by the police. We can see everyone with blank emotion and the photographer did a great job of having good lighting to show the grave situation and the emotions on the people faces. Also the photographer did a great job incorporating negative space in his photos. (Close Up, and this photo was taken by Chris Mcgraph) I think this photo is impactful because it shows how foreigners are effected by the protest in Hong Kong. This is a great example of how tourism is being ruined because of the police brutality and the protest. As for the picture, the photographer used rule of thirds for the guy taking a picture with his phone and did a great job making each person stand out in the picture.

This image is very symmetrical because both sides of the photos are almost exactly alike. Also it is very easy to tell what the focal point of the picture is. This picture is very symmetrical because as you look from the left to the right the wall pattern and colors are exactly the same. This is symmetrical because both sides of the wall are the same next to the guardian sign. This picture is symmetrical because as you look from the left to the right of the Nutella box all you will see that it is exactly the same. If you put one side next to the other it would be really hard to tell the difference. This picture is also symmetrical because as I look from both sides of this photo they are exactly the same if you cut it from the center of the photo. This is a clock I always pass by but never notice because it is on top of the shelf and I usually don't pay attention which is why I thought it would be fascinating to take a photo of the clock for this assignment. If I separate the two parts of this picture from the center of the clock they are almost identical.
The rule of thirds is a grid that is used in photography to help balance the photo and pop out the focal point more. It is a 3 by 3 grid and you put the most important thing between the lines. It is used almost always in photography but as the old saying goes, "Rules are meant to be broken." In this assignment we were asked to take pictures of three different objects one using the rule of thirds and one without the rule of thirds and share our opion. I prefer the picture of the clock on the bottom that is using the rule of thirds. I prefer the picture on the bottom that is not using the rule of thirds I prefer the picture on top that is not using the rule of thirds
