2.) I believe that the best photo from the slideshow is photo number 9. I believe that this is the best photo from the slideshow because it gives an extremely eerie feel to the viewer. The photograph is almost all dark, except for little bits of shadow that outline the deer's body. Another reason why this is the best photo is that even thought there is no lighting in this picture, the shadows are powerful enough for the deer's body to be outlines. And my final reason as to why this is the best photograph is because it has a great deal of depth. Its not just an outline of a deer's body, you can peer deeper into it and find more hidden things behind that.
3.) I believe that for this semester, my best work was the Shallow Depth of Field project. Three reasons as to why this was my best work this semester is because the color of the flower is very vibrant. As soon as you see the picture, it pops right in front of you because the vibrancy is very high. Another reason as to why this picture is my best work is because I believe that it captures the idea of my rules of composition perfectly. The picture is framed perfectly by the surrounding rocks and shrubs, and the flower is perfectly centered making it more enjoyable to see. And my last reason as to why this is my best work for the semester is because my group and I worked very hard and effectively on this project. We all got along very well and finished the project very rapidly.
4.) My three rules of composition that I chose at the beginning of the year were Color, Cropping, and Depth.

A Little History
10.) The master photographer that I studied was Ansel Adams. He contributed the idea of black and white pictures with nature pictures. This is an extremely unique way of performing his art because most of us value nature pictures for their color and vibrancy, but Ansel Adams defeated the norm of nature pictures successfully.
11.) Her most famous photograph was "Migrant Mother" and it was taking in Nipomo, California in February or March of 1936. The agency that employed her when she took this picture was Resettlement Administration.
