Academic Shoot Reflection & Critique

  While taking the pictures for the Academic Shoot, I found it hard to find classrooms that were doing something interesting. A lot of the classrooms were taking tests, or the teacher was showing the students power points or lecturing.
  Keeping all of the technical aspects of photography in mind, the one that I thought about the most was holding the camera correctly.
In a dew of the photos I had to turn the camera a certain way to get the right angle and to make the shot an example of the rules.
  If I could do this assignment again, I would take a lot more photos, and take my time to get more of them clear, and a perfect example of each of the rules.
  I would take a few of my photos the same, and go into most of the same areas to take the pictures.
  The rule of thirds was definitely easiest to achieve this time, butI think that the rule of Lines will be the easiest to active in the next shoot.
 The rule of framing or simplicity will probably be the hardest to get.
  The rule of Lines is probably the most confusing to me. There are so many ways that you could get this picture, and achieve a picture with that rule that it is hard for me to tell if I'm really getting the correct shot to coincide with that rule.

I thought that these photos were well-taken.
She did a good job at making most of the subjects obvious, and working with the rules.

I thought she could have made the subjects in some of the pictures clearer to the viewer.
