Negatives Evaluation

1. From looking at your negatives, how many of your photos do you think turned out well?

8 of my photos came out well.

2. How many of your photos appear like they will not turn out well? Why do you think these photos did not turn out (Ex: Over/under exposed, not focused, bad composition)?

3 of the pictures didn't come out well.

One did not have enough light and one had too much. And one of the pictures wasn't focused rite.

3. Select the negative image that you think will turn out the best when it is printed. Why do you think this photo will turn out well?

I took these picture because it represents a boy preparing for his science project.

Rule of thirds and leading lines.

American Soldier slideshow and captions

The most powerful picture is the first one. It just shows that he is gonna sign up for it and the expression on his face is very serious.

I think that the most powerful pictures would be the ones where he is with his family and when he is saying bye to go back to Iraq. Their the strongest ones because they show him having fun and in others he is crying, so is his family and friends.

The images show him from before he leaves to after he comes back and everything that happens between.
