I just found a pencil box lying around and decided to use that for my pattern. I used an eraser to break the pattern because I thought, “why not?” Pencils and erasers go together. I used my desk because that was the only thing I could find for a good backdrop.
Take two visually interesting examples of each one of the following angles of view that you can find in your immediate environment. For worm’s eye view, try to keep the camera very still. You could use something to brace the camera and you might want to use the timer.
- Worm’s-eye view
- Low-angle
- eye-level
- high angle
- Bird’s-eye view or aerial view
- Oblique angle
Upload all your photos to flickr, in album angle of view
Return to your group. Compare your examples for each angle of view. Pick the one that you all agree is the most visually engaging and clearly illustrates the angle of view.
Make one post with the 6 photos that were selected.Use an image gallery on OpenLab to publish your results. One member of the group can make the post. Identify all the members of the group in the post. In the caption for each photo include the angle of view and the name of the photographer.
Don’t forget to reduce the size of your image files before uploading to OpenLab.
Inspiration
Photographing hands, create 10 interesting and varied photos.
Make the hand or hands a dominate element in the compositions.

- 2 Photos of close up of hand with light coming from the side
- 2 Photos of hand in different activities
- 2 Photos of hand and textures or surfaces

Try to keep distracting details out of image by filling the frame
Upload the 10 photos to Flickr, put them in an album labeled Lab 1 Hands

Taking a group of similar objects, arrange them in a pattern. Stick to something small like pennies or M&Ms. Select a background that will set off your objects. Arrange the objects in a pattern that will fill the frame. Then using the rule of thirds, break the pattern. On one of the four intersections of the rule of thirds, change or remove an item. Take the final photo from an overhead view.
Put the photo of the pattern and the photo of breaking the pattern in a post with a short description of your decision making process: how you picked the objects and background and how you decided to disrupt the pattern.
