Academic Shoot Reflection & Critique

1) While trying to capture the photo rules, challenges I faced were finding perfectly balanced photos and making simplicity photos look interesting.
2) Focusing the camera was the hardest technical aspect of taking these photos because if my shot didn't focus for example, I just had to crouch in front of students at their desks until I correctly focused the lens, then held the position that captured the best shot.
3) If I could do this assignment over again, I would focus more on actually capturing academic things happening in action, instead of trying to get a good shot.
4) If I did this assignment over again, I would do some of the same things as last time, like getting good angles and always making sure I focus and blur out the things that I want.
5) I think the easiest rule to achieve next time will be leading lines, because the school and academics provides lots of lines and photos to capture with that theme.
6) I think the hardest rule to capture in next photo shoot will be balance, because it is very difficult to center a subject and have a geometrical background.
7)  A rule I am still not clear on is simplicity, and how I can make simple photos still cool to look at for viewers. To learn more about this rule, I can look at other students' examples to get a better idea.
