4 With a pencil: Rate the photos - 5 stars is the best

5 Screen shot your three favorite photos Why do you like this photo

6 Screen shot your three least favorite photos Why don’t you like this photo

7 Screen shot all of the photos with a busy background.

8 Copy your “busy background” screenshots from the previous slide but this time: delete any of these which are nature photos. Why? Nature photography has its unique set of composition rules. Nature photos do not have to follow the golden rule of good photo composition. Nature photos do not need one main subject in front of a nondistracting background.

9 Make a conclusion. Screen shot the photos that have a busy background – exclude nature photos. What is your conclusion?

10 Screen shot the photos that do not tell a story.

11 Copy your “no story” screenshots from previous slide but this time: delete any of these which are nature photos. Why? Nature photos do not have to follow rules. Nature photos are like good eye candy.

12 Make a conclusion. Screen shot the photos that do not tell a story – exclude nature photos. What is your conclusion?

13 Screen shot your favorite photo. Judge the composition Look for every small detail in terms of the composition. This should take at least one minute. Is there a random hands/cars/etc. in the background that distracts? (there usually is). X What is the main subject, who should I be looking at? X Is the composition good? X Do I see nice leading lines in the image that lead to the subject? X Is the light good or flat? X Is the perspective good? Should the photographer have crouched down lower for this shot, or shot more eye-to-eye with his subject? X

14 Screen shot your favorite photo. Judge the content Try to figure out what is going on. What is the story? X Why is the photograph interesting? X Why does the photograph immediately capture my interest? X Is there something unusual or wacky happening in the scene? X Is this a similar photograph taken before by someone else? X What does the photograph make me feel? X Is this image memorable? X
