Composition

Framing
The outside frame of the lens in front frames the seconds lens. It
shows the other more colourful lens that looks better. It focuses
more attention which makes the photo look better.

Spacing
There is only one thing in this photo that is contrasted by
the black background which gives the object a sense of
highlights. This makes the photo better because it's the only
visible object. 

Rule of Odds
There are five main objects that this photo is focusing on. The
odds make this photo more interesting and hard to figure out rather
than if there were only four barrels. 

Rule of Thirds
The most focused part of this photo lies on the first grid line on the top
row and the first/last grid line in the column on your right. This outlines the
strangeness of the photo as well as it is a rule of odds composition.  

Rule of Odds
There are three weird sticks sticking out of the branch blurring out
the background. It also is dead in the centre making the photo
look more interesting and odd. No pun intended :)

Rule of Thirds
The main focus of the big tree is evident due to it being on the first/last
column if the grid. It brings out the wickedness and greyness of
the photo. I think it would take away the mood and atmosphere if it was centred. 

FramingShe is using the outlines of her fingers to frame her face. The only
thing visible in this photo are her eyes, nose, and mouth. It makes the
photo better to see the tone she is giving off through her eyes.

Spacing
The outline of the bird's body is contrasted with the light
background. It gives a sense of loneliness to the bird because
it's the only object in the picture.

This History of Photography

3) a. The camera obscura was first used in the 9th century by Alhazen an Arab scientist.

b. The camera obscura works by having a dark room or box with one small hole that let light through. This would project the image on the outside, on the inside.

c. Photography as we know it today was born in 1839.

d. The benefits of a daguerreotype over Talbot was that he created a silver plate which produced a sharper image.

e. The purpose of the “head holder” was to keep people’s head still while taking a photo, since it could take up to two minutes to process and capture a single photo. Their heads got tired!

f. George Eastman was responsible for making photography a universal pastime.


g. It’s estimated that over approximately 380 billion photos are taken each year.
