For this week, we were tasked with using angles in our photography. Originally I was just going to used angles to take a picture of a tree, but I found this crow in the tree right next to me, so I decide to take a picture of it instead. I had to edit the photo so that both the crow […]
Rule of Odds
For this challenge, we had to use the “rule of odds” which states that it is often better to have an odd number of objects, instead of an even number of objects, in a photo. I now understand why ever cartoon depicting a bird’s nest always has three eggs, because it tends to look better and feel more balanced. To […]

The prompt for this photo was to isolate a subject by putting them in the center of a frame. This shot is of my sister standing at the edge of a view from a hike. She looks out into the distance feeling accomplished of what she has complete so far.

For this photo I got Isla’s attention with my left hand while I took the photo with my right hand. The hardest part was getting the right angle that had […]
