Merger Photo

1. Something that could create a problem in a merger photo is if there's wind and the background moves because of it, for example trees, flowers, etc. Another thing that could be problematic could be lighting issues like shadows, sunlight, etc.

2. On the Bowie campus, a good place to take these photos would be the hallway because there will be no wind. Another place could be in front of the kennel so that there's an interesting background for the photo. A good simple background could also be in front of the lockers in the L hall so it isn't distracting to the actual merger.

3. Something creative I could do in my photo is look like I'm pushing myself over into the next pose of mine. It'll have a lot of levels, and it would make the photo interesting.

4. I could wear something plain so that it doesn't distract from the photo. If I wore any prints or vibrant colors it might take away from the effect of the photo.

Warm-Up

1. 

2. I was really surprised when I saw some of these photos and saw that they were taken with an iPhone. I've seen a lot of photos taken by a phone, but a lot of them are grainy and aren't as sharp as these ones are. These look like they were taken with a DSLR camera. I'm really impressed. 

3. I think the photographers could've used the editing apps to sharpen the image and enhance the colors as well. I feel like these photos couldn't have looked this good without editing first.

4. Two tips for shooting with your phone could be to make sure you're in a well lit environment so that it isn't as grainy. Also, make sure to not move your phone as soon as you take the photo, wait a little bit afterwards to ensure that there is no blur.
