Today in class we had our second visual exercise: Borders. I would have to say the most important thing I took away from this experiment is to know that borders aren't always cheesy, sometimes they can enhance your work. Feathered borders especially didn't seem like something I would ever want to use for my photos, but that border actually really worked for some people. For example, Allie Dupont's photo. I thought that on her photograph the normally cheesy, feathered border worked really well with the already uneven edges of her photograph. I also learned that a little can go a long way. Even the thinnest of borders can make all the difference in a photograph. In my case, it was decided that a medium thickness border works well with my photos and even supports them to an extent. In any case, borders are definitely something I will consider from now on.
