Line and Shape
1. What locations and subject matter did you choose for your photo?
I took photo number six, which is a wheel barrow, at Araujo Farms in Dighton.
2. Describe the photo you took: What is the distance in the shot? (How close of far away are you from the subject?
When taking this shot, I was pretty close to the wheel barrow, so that I could capture the details and grains in the wood of the wheel, but I was intentionally far enough away to capture the flowers, hay, and metal chain in the middle-ground and background. This was done to make the photo more interesting and dynamic.
3. What was your point of view when you took the photo? (from above, below or straight on...)
My point of view when taking this photo wasn't directly straight on. I tried to angle my camera so that my perspective was slightly above the wheel barrow.
4. Is you photo horizontal of vertical?
Photo number six was taken vertically.
5. Did you consider the rule of thirds to compose you shot? Describe.
Yes, I did consider the rule of thirds while taking this picture. I tried to keep the very top of the wheel on the second horizontal line on the grid and the metal chain on the second vertical line. The vinyl siding on the building lines up with the first vertical line on the grid and the edge of the wheel barrow basket follows the first horizontal line.
6. Is your photo a dynamic composition that successfully leads the viewer's eye through the work?
Yes, the various lines and shapes along with the negative space that was captured makes this photo dynamic. Starting at the metal chain, it leads the viewer's eyes through the picture.

Pattern and Texture
While taking photo number five, I was close to the subject, at an upward angle so that the viewer would be able to visualize the texture of the branches. This photo was taken horizontally. I tried my best to follow the rule of thirds by putting the focal point of the picture on the second vertical line. This photo definitely demonstrates texture because it shows the both the texture of the branches and the texture of the tree trunk. I think that photo number two is the best example of a properly exposed photo because it has a range black, white, and grey values.
