               This is my favorite picture from the website because I like the way it was taken. I think its very creative and it looks really good. I love the color in the photo as well as the setting. The person who thought of this picture is very creative. I say this because the dog is really sitting at the chair like he's human. There is also a drink in front of the dog, which makes it look like he just got served. I love this picture!!! : )

Textures

1. Texture is the way a surface, substance or piece of cloth feels when you touch it.


2. Shooting texture take photography one step further conveying to the viewer not only how something looks, but also how it feels to the touch.


3. The bonus of photographing bricks is creating patterns and shapes.


4. A good texture you can photograph could be tree bark and this is interesting because it is  glossily smooth or dry, peeling and rough.


5. Touchable qualities of paint would be a shiny new coat of paint on a windowsill, an old peeling fence or a thickly layered oil painting because they all invite the lens forward to reproduce qualities.


6. The stone lends itself, in nature and urban settings, because for example, a pebbly beach may not seem as tempting a prospect as its sandy counterpart, but the different shapes and sizes of the stones just excite the person looking.


7. Some aspects of wood that are inspiring are twisted roots, roughly chopped fire piles, smoothly sanded new grain, and etc.


8. 3 fabrics/textures that we can photograph in school are matting, carpet, and rough paint.


9. Qualities of rope are different. There are rough and fraying or smoothly waxed and because there are many different sizes of rope, it gives the photographer the chance to move in close and get a good texture shot. We can find rope in gym when people climb rope.


10. Metal is a good piece of work to photograph and photographers like to take pictures of it because metal can be smooth, rusty, and dull. Metal also gives up its age and that gives the photographer another exciing texture to work on.

#2 Adding Variety

1. The technique I use is moving the subject around because it may look better in a different position.

2. I haven't thought of telling a story and I've never thought of experimenting with different modes because to me a picture is a picture only some looks better than others, which is very rare to me.

3. The next technique I will try to use is avoiding group shot blink because it's something new.

4.  You should move your subject around because it may look better in a different position.

5. It is a good idea to use continuous shoot because you might take photos that are messed up, but the other ones are just what you wanted and you don't have to start over and over.

6. One last tip is to experiment with different modes because the picture to you might look good regular, but when you play with the modes, you might see that the picture looks way better when you change certain modes.

#1 Photo Planning

1. A snap happy photographer is a person who doesn't take time to position their camera in the right place and is a person who just snap photos, not concentrating or paying attention to what they're really doing, even though they catch good pictures, but they weren't taken on purpose.

2. An over planner is someone who goes and take the longest time to position a person right because they want everything just perfect, but it's just taking away they're time from actually taking the photo.

3. To be honest, I don't think I am either because I really don't like taking pictures, but if I have to choose I would say I am a snap happy photographer because I don't really care for taking pictures so I'm not going to take my time making sure everything is perfect so I just will snap photos, but I do try in this class because I' getting graded.

4. the two questions in this article that I can use to help me plan my photos better are: Do I have time to pose my subject or do I need to shoot fast?, and the other question is : What is going on in the background of this photo?

5. Taking too much time can kill the moment because you can forget your creative idea that you had to how you were going to take this photo.

6. Its good to ask questions while you're taking picture because you're thinking ahead so you won't have to keep going and retaking the photo, and because you will have a picture in your mind of what you want the picture to look like so you'll know what to aim for.
