The locations and subject matter for my photos were based on the outdoors, mainly. Some photos were taken due to the aesthetic look for the contrast in the black and white photos. In photo 1, my steering wheel just fits the edge of the photo to make it a more realistic view as if you are almost there ready to drive. I was decently far away in this photo in order to fit the whole wheel in perfectly in the square mod in the iPhone settings. In photo 2, I shot this decently close in order to cut close to the small circles on the top of the shoe. In photo 3, I wanted to get the whole scenery so i shot further away from the subject in order to give you more of a "base" for understanding the location (outside). In photo 4, I shot close to the subject in order to focus more on the shadow and the centered black line covering the placemat. In photo 5, it was shot from further away to line up the edge of the square sewer cover with the edge of the actual photo. In photo 6, it was shot as close as I could get my phone without being out of focus. All of the photos except photos 2 and 5 are eye level. All of my photographs are shot vertically. I considered the rule of thirds for all of them except photo 1 due to the fact that the steering wheel is in a circular shape so I felt that centering and fitting all parts of it were necessary to give the aesthetically pleasing view. The most successful photo that leads the viewer through the photo is number 6, of the ladder. It meets the rule of thirds, the angle of the shot gives it a dynamic affect, and the texture of the thick primer paint along the smooth shiny metal allows for better contrast in the photo. Shape stands out with the vertical lines of the metal steps and the circle cut out at the top of the ladder.
