List 5 ideas (compositional approaches, lighting techniques, etc.) that you noticed in the DVD that would make you a better photographer.
1 Photographing at different angles.
2 Thinking outside the box.
3 Have your back facing the light.
4 Have a focal point in each photograph.
5 Using rule of thirds.

Describe your favorite photographer in the DVD. Let me know why you liked their approach or style.
I don't remember his name but there was this guy taking pictures in very harsh conditions, with bugs biting and crawling all over him and getting in his eyes, but he still worked through those conditions and got amazing photographs. I thought it was cool that he didn't stop him from doing his thing.

What was your favorite photograph? Why?
My favorite photograph was of the woman with the red hood and light green eyes. I think it was very intense and and very striking. It was the main photograph that stuck in my head after I finished watching the DVD.

Did any of these photographs help reinforce some of the ideas that we have discussed in photography class? List and describe at least two that you noticed.

Yes, like the photograph of the Afghan girl, with a strong focus on her eyes. Also using rule of thirds alot to make a photograph more interesting.
