Post-Landscape Assignment

We had the assignment to photograph landscapes and capture in detail the near, and the far objects. The main purpose of this assignment was to learn how to focus the camera on whats next to you, but also whats farthest from you. I found when taking the near and far pictures that it was easiest to use the rule of thirds. I tended to put the closest object near the side of the picture while I ether focus directly on the farthest, or the middle object. I found that that made it easier to photograph the near and far landscapes. I went around my house in west Gloucester and found that the marsh was a great place to photograph because it was so flat that many objects could stand out agents it which made it easier to capture the farther images. I also photographed the dock/ramp by the high school and found the the pillars on the side made it easy to do the near and far because they went all the way down the ramp and showed the distance of the dock and I also got to capture the boats in the background. I did have some issues with over lighting and not having enough light and I'm not sure my ISO and aperture were set correctly but other than those i didn't have much issues with this project.
