For this assignment, we had to research various compositional elements, go out and take pictures that reflect those elements, and then create a blog to display those photos. The mechanics of how our cameras work and the online research regarding the compositional elements took up a majority of the project to ensure quality photos. This project taught me the importance of compositional elements and the interactions between them. As I went around the high school taking photos, I realized it is difficult to take a photo without multiple elements becoming involved. For example, there is a framing element in the photo I took to show balance.
Perhaps the most difficult element to capture was texture, because the lighting in the high school does not often give way to textured photos. I was able to solve this problem by going outside, and the photo I captured is actually one of my favorite photos I have taken thus far.

My name is Becky Mitchell, and I'm a senior at Saline High School. I spend my time working as a page at the Saline District Library and cuddling with my German Shepherd, Lola. I have a younger sibling named Ezra and an older brother named Rhys (I somehow missed out on the cool baby names when I was born). I took this class primarily because I needed to fulfill my technology credit in order to graduate. However, I chose this class to accomplish the tech requirement because I have always enjoyed taking photos and I would like to get better at it. I do not really have any prior experience with photography, other than my love of taking selfies. I am excited to learn more!
