Photo Scavenger Hunt - Composition - Year One Tech

Here is the list of required Photos for your scavenger hunt:


Rule of Thirds
Leading lines
Shape or Form
Pattern or Breaking Pattern
Depth  Overlapping
Depth Linear Perspective
Selective Focus
Framing (natural or human-made)
Balance (symmetrical, asymmetrical OR radial)
Panning, Zooming, OR Intentional Blur
Bonus (Mr. Easton with a group member)


1. Select the best photos as examples of each rule of composition. You should be looking for photos that are properly exposed and in focus!
2. Edit the best photos in Photoshop using the Levels adjustment layer and also crop them for the best composition.

Now... your group should submit a folder with the completed photos (in psd format) - save them with the file names as the compositional tool and the initials of the group members. FOLDER CAN BE NAMED Scav_Hunt_Group Intials_psds
e.g. RuleOfThirdsNE.psd

ALSO save each of the photos as a jpg
Please also submit a folder of jpgs FOR YOUR GROUP. name the folder Scav_Hunt_GroupInitials_jpgs

AND...post each of the photos on your blog.
Each photos MUST be labelled with the compositional tool AND a brief written statement (written individually!) that explains and justifies why you think this photo best exemplifies the rule of composition in question.

EACH group member must post separately and have individual responses (meaning you should NOT have the exact same written statements as the others in your group). I want to get a sense of what you know and understand about composition from your written statements.

Due: Monday Nov. 2 - in folder and on blogs by the end of the period.
