Techniques or approaches that I can work on:
1) focusing on one main subject, and capturing different aspects or perspectives of it.
2) play around with different lighting, such as side, or from the back. It can add really cool effect.
3) don't be afraid to try new techniques, such as framing in a portrait.
4) practice, practice, practice. you can't expect to be perfect the first time, so go out and shoot a lot!
5) it's not the setting that makes a picture, it's the compositional techiniques you use while shooting.
Favorite Photographer
My favorite photographer from the DVD was definitely Nick Nichols. I liked his work because of his use of lighting and motion. A lot of photos I see are perfectly coordinated, but his are very spur of the moment, with bright spots of light on a subject and a lot of blurred motion.
Favorite Photograph
My favorite photograph was definitely the one with Jane Goodall offering her head to the aggressive chimp. This photo was taken by Nick Nichols. I loved this one because it was such a "had to be there" type of moment, and the fact that the photographer could capture that amazed me.
Techniques From Class
I saw Rule of Thirds being used in a lot of the photographs, along with framing.
