The focus of this shot is the centre of the log in the middle of the foreground and background. I decided to choose this focus as it would provide the centre of attention to the middle of the page.

The exposure if mainly light throughout the shot. However, towards the left of the log it caves over the camera providing a darker edge.

This shot is steady, however due to how the focus is set, it makes all the sides of the shot look more blurry.

D) How have your pictures used The Rule of Thirds?

In this shot, The Rule of Thirds is used and the main focus of the image is in the centre of the image. Therefore, the left and ride side of the shot are used to draw your attention to the middle due to the out of focus technique.

In this specific shot, leading lines are not used. This is usually the case with logs are they are never perfectly straight and are usually uneven. 

F) Is the background distracting or does it connect with what is in the Foreground?

In this shot, the background is fully helping show that the foreground is the main focus point. The background connects to the foreground as they are the same thing just pulled with a different focus point.

Once again, the exposure it mostly light throughout the entirety of the shot. However, towards the inside of the leaf and parts where the sunlight is not bale to get to, it is dark.

The background is not necessarily distracting as it makes sense to be in the image. It also helps the fact that it is out of focus, because it is drawing the viewers attention to the focus of the image.

The focus of this shot is one of the panels of wood holding up the shed. The background is of the rest of the shed and some objects surrounding.

There is no specific set focus on this shot. I decided it looks better with the tree being in the same focus as the skyline as it would give it a nice contrast.

In this this, leading lines are not used. This is because the shot is quite large with many things in the way, there isn't anything which really stands out with leading lines involved.

F) Is the background distracting or does it connect with what is in the Foreground?

The background is very distracting in this shot due to both the foreground and background being in focus. This takes away the centre of attention and gives the viewer a lot more image to concentrate on, which can be very distracting in the final result.

The background is not distracting to the foreground at all in this image. This is mainly due to the amount of sharpness on the padlock. This draws the attention of the image to the centre of the image.

The focus of this shot is the background. I decided to go with the background being the focus of this shot due to the better detail in the log.

The exposed once again is equally split between light and dark. This is seen in the deeper parts of the leaves as the natural light is covered by the leaves in front.

This shot has not used The Rule of Thirds. I decided it looked too vague without anything to one of the sides, therefore I decided to go with a full image of just leaves with a different focus point to give a bit more texture and detail into the shot.

E) Does your picture use leading lines?

This shot does not use leading lines. This is because most leaves don't naturally go in a straight line, and there is also no fence of sharp edge shown in the shot.

The foreground in this shot is not distracting at all. This is because both the foreground and background of the shot are both leaves. Giving the final shot a very detailed look.
