I was hardly impressive during this assignment, I'm pretty sure I let the most errors slide on this assignment. The last time I took editing and proof reading seriously was when I was in elementary school. This assignment pretty much helped me realize that I am to be nowhere near editing and proof reading the yearbook, or it will contain as many or in fact a lot more grammatical errors. I'm a man that prefers to type correctly, but as I saw this is way different than being able to proofread and edit stories. This is attributed to my lack of focus, on the paper due to myself constantly multi-tasking, such as listening to music on assignments.

Some of the angles in the photo were taken with other things in mind, like in the first one the two girls are working on something. The photographer could have easily decided to just photograph the girls working and instead decided to get a picture of what they had been working on. Some of the others were also taken from far away and zoomed like the cheerleaders and swimmer, if the picture was taken of them up close, it would not have been as natural.

Rule of thirds are photos that are taken where the people are not in the center and not taking up any attention as they are photographed on the left or right. Leading lines can also be related with the rule of thirds as the line in the images can be in range and out of.

Framing is a method most likely done where there is something that takes the attention out of the actually center, or could it possibly be the person is taking the attention of the objects in front of them? Maybe Framing is supposed to create perspective and depth in the photo truly leaving it to the eye of the beholder.

In the last assignment, no photo follows the same rule, they all share a center of attention and retain decent lighting that makes the picture what it is truly supposed to be.
