Photography Project #3: Elements of Composition

Photography project three was the incorporation of depth of field, shutter speed, and elements of composition. For project three I focused primarily on the elements of composition within photography. I chose to take photographs that primarily demonstrated texture and pattern.
After choosing to focus my photographs on texture and pattern for project three, I wondered what a good location would be to capture these elements of composition. I decided that a park would provide an abundance of opportunity to photograph texture and pattern. San Pedro park, in particular, has a ton of natural elements throughout it.
Although San Pedro park did provide numerous opportunities to capture texture and pattern, I do not think I was successful with my shooting. I realized after examining my photos that I need to focus more on the framing of my shots. I think a lot of my ideas and the material I was choosing to shoot were good, but my execution was not. In the future I am going to pay more attention to the angles and framing of my compositions. Also, I realized I need to pay more attention to the lighting of my photographs as well.
I also chose to shoot some of my photographs as a music store. The music store provided opportunities to capture pattern and texture as well. I was able to get a few good shots of the instruments, but I was not pleased with the lighting in my photos.
