Final Exam

What photo have you taken this school year that changed how you viewed photography? What is your decisive photo? Why? The one photo that completely changed my perspective towards photography was this photo that I took for the Masters of Photography project. This project that photography is much more than just pressing a button, as well as taught me how to communicate with the subject of the photo. This photo initially showed me how much fun I can have with this class and that the limits of creativity are endless.  

What is the difference between shape and form?
The difference between the two is that Shapes have two dimensions (height and width) and are usually defined by lines, whereas Forms have three dimensions (height, width, and depth).

What is the difference between pattern and repetition?
The difference between the two is that repetition refers to the same object or shape being repeated consecutively, whereas pattern is a combination of different elements and shapes repeated in a recurring arrangement. 

Define movement using one of your photos and an explanation. You may also link to your earlier explanation when we defined principles of design. 
I think that movement is best represented by this photo of mine, because it shows the movement of everything around the cows. This photo defines movement through the blurry motion lines around the cows. 

Of the last three projects, what was your best work? Include the link to your best work and explain why you believe this is your best work. How did this project change you? How did you learn to see differently?
Of the last three projects, I think that my Stuffed Animal Photoshoot was my best work, because I think that I managed to keep the subject in focus better than I did in some other projects as well as struggle to get in the right position to take these photos. This project definitely changed me for the better as my confidence in photography grew and I also learned a few things about what to do and what not to do. I learned to see photography differently throughout the year as I learned multiple lessons and learned that photography is more than just the press of a button; it takes real time, effort, and creativity.
