Second Period
Estell Kim
Her subjects look genuinely happy, and the sunlight illuminates their faces very nicely.



Third Period
Jason Stiltz
I personally really like cherry blossom flowers and shallow depth of field. The depth of this picture and composition come together very well.



Fourth Period
Nisha Ramesh
I love the colors of the photograph and the overall composition. The horizon line contrasts the teal ocean and the golden sunset. The clouds give the atmosphere a pensive feeling.

Final Project Proposal

Topic: Coffee and Tea

Details: Home-made brews, Starbucks, Lattes, etc.

Style of Photography: Bokeh/Shallow Depth of Field

Location: My house, Starbucks

Time of Day: Morning, Afternoon

3 Examples:

1. Coffee Shot by Nina's Clicks (flickr , website)

2. Untitled by carlos buenos (flickr , no website)

3. Untitled by Minato (flickr , no website)

Lens: 55mm

3 Rules of Composition: 

1. Shallow Depth of Field
Accomplished by increasing the 'f' number, which will consequently increase the depth of field. 

2. Golden Ratio (a.k.a Rule of Thirds)

Accomplished by aligning the main subject within the perimeters of the golden ratio areas (roughly a 1:1.618 ratio per area.)

3. Viewpoint

Accomplished by using a unique perspective, usually thought-out beforehand (example: bird's-eye view versus close-up.)
