1. I had a challenge focusing the camera on a specific person. They would move, which made the picture come out blurry. I also had trouble finding something that was different and interesting that was academic.
2. I thought a lot about how I held the camera. At first, I tried to hold the camera a certain way to try and avoid some mergers, but after the first classroom, my approach to that changed because of the way people were sitting or standing. I also thought a lot about how the picture showed that it was an academic photo, but not a boring one. That was difficult for me because I struggled to take good photos in the science classrooms with the experiments, due to the amount of movement and people in the room.
3. I would make sure that the background isn't as in focus, making the subject of the picture clearer to the viewer. I also had some troubles with mergers that I didn't notice, so I need to focus as much on the background as I do on getting the right subject.
4. I would go to the same classrooms and I would chose the same subjects, I would just change how I took the photo.
5. With the next prompts, I think that the easiest rules to follow would be framing and the rule of thirds. I am going to actively avoid mergers, so that is another composition I would be focusing on as a photographer to make the subject clearer.
6. I think that the hardest rule to capture would be avoiding mergers because there is a lot going on, especially here at Bowie. I know that I had trouble avoiding mergers, particularly caused by a full classroom.
7. I think that I am clear on what the different composition rules mean on paper, but I have trouble applying them to what I am doing in the moment. I just need to practice keeping the rules in mind, and actively fixing what I can to make it a better photo.

A positive comment about her photos is that she was able to single out an individual subject, and made the picture look interesting. What could be improved is the brightness and amount of color in two ofher photos.
