Week 4

Part One: Thematic and Conceptual Shooting

This little guy is all boy! He loves anything that wiggles or crawls. 

Part Two: Getting in your pictures

Wow! This assignment was so hard and so good for me. I didn't realize that I was suffering from this issue until I started this class and had to post a picture as part of my profile. I didn't have one..so I used one with my family from last summer. It was pathetic. Then my husband brought it to my attention once again last week as he was getting ready to leave on a business trip and want to put some photos on his computer.  

So, thank you Brooke for this assignment. It has motivated me 1) take more photos of myself 2) take more photos with my daughter and husband.

Week 3

Part One: Conceptual Contrast

Part Two: The Decisive Moment

Week 2

Part One: Point of View

Initial Shot-

Issue- There is so much going around this old truck. I did try this photo in b & w but it didn't really help. This assignment taught me that just by changing the perspective you can eliminate a lot of the noise going on around your subject and also produce more powerful shots.

Part Two: Less is More

Issue- I was shooting these shoots right at dusk and the limited light caused some challenges. Most of which could have been eliminated with a tri-pod...but I didn't

have mine with me.  I was able to use a few headstones

 and things to help keep the camera still. Next time

I won't forget it.

Part One: Character/Details

I really enjoyed this assignment. My daughter loves horses and is a cowgirl at heart so I had fun capturing some of details that I will always want to remember. The first picture I really liked but I felt like it was too distracting in color. There is a lot going on in the background with all the people and the colors that they are wearing so I changed from color to b & w.  I liked way that the b & w contributed to the rustic western feel so I made the other two photos b & w as well.

Part Two: Character/Conflict
