I was looking out a window in my house and trying to decide how I wanted to frame a piece of nature for this week’s challenge, when I saw how the shadow of my roof almost perfectly framed the tables that we’ve set up in our backyard. We haven’t been using it much, but we’re…

Photo challenges asking us to take photos that incorporate composition effectively.
Using Props
This may be a bit confusing to comprehend at first, but it’s actually the inside of an umbrella stand that’s outside in our backyard. Since we’re getting closer and closer to summer break (and my moving out of the house for good), I want to spend more time utilizing the space I have in Mountain…
Depth of Field
I’m not sure exactly when it started, but I’ve begun collecting old postcards (from my parents or others) and taping them onto the back of my dresser, where it faces my desk. It started off a just a place to put them, but as I collect more and more, it’s started to feel more like…
Viewpoint
During the pandemic, my mobility has been pretty much limited to my neighborhood, or more specifically, my room. We revamped the entire layout back in April, swapping out my old bed for my sister’s loft and rearranging various other parts other room. It was pretty cool to have a new space that reflected my new…
Color Theory
One of the few good aspects of TikTok in my opinion are the many video editors that are able to get their incredible work to a large audience. My favorites of these are the alternative kids, inspired by clown-core and brightly colored aesthetics, creating every-frame-a-painting technicolor nightmares, complete with extensive makeup and flashing lights. I…
Rule of Thirds Emotion
I really love the sharp, jagged slice of sky jutting through the canopy of trees in this photo. It reminds me a lot of middle school, which was around the time that I took this photo. I would spent a lot of my time stuck in a rut, unable to motivate myself to do work,…
Fill the Frame
I used to store all of my clothing hangers at the back of my closet, letting them clutter up my closet and take up space that could be used for…I don’t know…clothing, for example. When the spring cleaning bug hit our house, I took a whole day to clean out my closet, vacuuming the carpeted…
Facial Symmetry
I do find it a bit creepy how initially normal my symmetrical faces are. Don’t get me wrong, they don’t look correct, but if you look only at the symmetrical right face, it looks just like…someone’s face. The same thing’s true to a lesser extent with the symmetrical right face. The main thing about me…
Geometry
I’m really proud of my antique books. I’ve collected them from a variety of thrift shops, garage sales, and even family members (the plain tan book on the right is a collection of Shakespeare’s writing from my grandparent’s house – I think it’s from the late 1700s!). I redid my room recently and had to…
Leading Lines
I read about this photo challenge right as the banana bread that my mom had been making came out of the oven. It was the perfect opportunity to explore leading lines in food, so I cut a slice off and used the knife to bring the eye towards the bread. I used my Canon in…
