Academic Shoot reflection and critique

1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get the photos following the rules I set out for you? 

I had trouble finding some of the rules, such as simplicity and lines. That was only the real problem I had. 

2. What technical aspects of photography or the assignment in general (focus, framing, holding the camera, etc.) did you find yourself thinking about the most? Provide a specific example of what you did to do this correctly.

I found myself thinking about focus and zooming a lot. I kept trying to figure out if it would look better from this distance or up close. With my merger photo, I figured blurring out the background would give it a good look.
3. If you could do the assignment again, what would you do differently now that you know some basic rules of photography?

I would try to find some better subjects.

4. What things would you do the same?

I would use the camera the same way. Meaning, I would use focus, zoom, and hold the camera the same way.

5. When you go out with your next set of prompts, which rule do you think will be the easiest to achieve?

I think framing will be the easiest to capture.

6. Which rule do you think will be the hardest to capture?

I think simplicity or lines, depending on the prompt. 

7. What rule are you still not totally clear on and what can you do to figure out what that rule is?

I guess I'm not exactly sure about simplicity, but I can go on google and maybe search up, "Rule of simplicity examples".
