1. What challenges did you encounter while trying to get close, capture real moments, and capture action or emotion? How did you deal with these?
I got as close as i could, till it got to a point were i knew it wouldnt be okay so i would give everyone enough space so it will all work out. i used zoom if i wanted to get closer that i was.

2. What technical aspects of photography (focus, exposure, composition) did you find yourself thinking about the most, and how did you make sure you did these correctly? I really paid attention to the focus and the lighting i was in. I would really look and focus on a line and watch the focus to see if in made a straight line if not it would have a break or be blurry nun the less.

3. Describe how you attempted to use at least one of the advanced composition techniques when you shot. I tried to see and make lines in the insturments since they are string insturments. I couldnt find a way to frame, it was to difficult, I would get close and make a good Simplicity shot. I really tried Rule of Thirds and to balance out a look with and insturment and a person.

Bob Rosato's Favorite Shots

Focal length of lens -400mm f

Shutter Speed - 1/1000

With this shutter speed he gets a great moment of the back tuck and showing the emotion very well and a great angle from a top view at the perfect moment.

Aperture-f/2.8

Position - He had mentioned he found an upper area above the balance beam where he could get a great upper view of Oana Ban of Romania.

Avoid Merge

Avoid merge is a hard one. The Flowers and the Little American Flag are avoding merge and standing out as well.

Balance

I love the Balance in this photo because the flag and Statue of Libirty Really share the frame, and make and equal balance between the two.

Lines

This photo is a great for of lines. The bulinding windows make great visual lines witch are easy to view and attract the eye.

Framing

I love this photo because of the exselent framing taking place. The windo with dirt and grim making six frams viewing ground zero.

Simplicity

This Photo is a great Form of Simplicity because of how you can easily tell what the main element is. It is zoomed in so you can easly see a visual of what you are trying to show.

Rule Of Thirds

This Photo Is a great Caption of the Rule OF Thirds

The People in the lower right hand corner really

attract the eye because they stand out because of

thier placement.
