Re-shoot

This is my re-shoot. The one on top is my original, and the bottom one is my re-shoot. The original is really really grey and I don't like how I composed it. It was straight on and I wasn't close enough. I like how my re-shoot is at an angle and really close. It was kinda flat and under exposed, but I did the best I could to fix it up. I like the texture on the pot.

p.s.

I did all the extra credit: 5 steps and 1 print!! hehehe and I shall explain why Slade gave us this assignment because he wants us to re-shoot more and learn to take the time to re-shoot and do it well, because you may turn a photo you really like into a photo that you absolutely L-O-V-E!!! Like Nat's :))

Final Project

On this assigment, I had a hard time at first. I couldn't think of things that rhymed with world that I could shoot. So I came up with these things: The first picture is of a mobile. It twirled (world-- twirled) in circles. The second picture is of my sock drawer. The socks are furled which means to roll up ;) . The third is of the tire swing in my backyard. It whirls around in circles if you twirl it up. The next one is a doorknob. To open a door, you must "twirl" the doorknob ;) . The next picture is of CRAZY STRAWS :))) and it twists and turns and twirls into this shape. The last picture is probably my personal favorite. It's of my sister sucking a lollipop that swirls. It's meant to be blurry and soft, because the background looks way cool if I moved the camera. This picture makes me happy :)

I liked being able to choose my project, even though it was hard trying to decide what to shoot. I couldn't decide at first. My first idea was to shoot signs. I thought that would be boring to me, so I decided on shooting things that rhyme with world. I wanted to shoot a lot of things that I wasn't able to on account of lack of time :( but I still got it done. When I first started thinking of things to take pictures of, I was thinking very shallow...ly and I was thinking of spinner tops that twirled and big poofy skirts, which would have been fun, but I didn't have any of those things, so I had to settle with these objects.

This project taught me to think outside the box... a little. It taught me to be creative and I had to think hard on about what to shoot. So it taught me to take way more time and think harder. I liked it. I also learned how to get creative with a tripod :)))

Bright Idea

UGH, I have no idea what to do for my final portfolio... I'm thinking... either shooting things that rhyme with world, or buildings, or signs, or just writing a story with my pictures.

I think I will do things that rhyme with world... that will be fun :)

Portraits

These three pictures took a lot of time, and they're still not right. I re-shot the two of my sister two times and she was super impatient all times. That's why her eyes aren't glittering and she looks like she's about to puke. I was rushed to shoot my dad. He was watching tv, it was late, not a very good time to take picture. But for some reason, I liked this picture. I like the content of it. I liked the way my little brother was at an angle that was looking up to my dad. But that piece of hair that's sticking up and is cut out of the frame on my dad's head really bugs me.

This assignment was fun, and I enjoyed it. I liked to take pictures of people and not just

objects. I would really like to do this again, and re-shoot a lot, but I need to do these on time and not be so rushed. I liked to capture the expressions of different people. I love showing people why this person is angry, or sad, or happy, or terrified. Although I didn't do this very well on this assignment, if I ever get the opportunity to spend lots of time with portraits, I will do it much better.

P.S.

There will be 3 more photos on here tomorrow :))

Re-do Assignment 1

Hopefully this will make up for my first assignment. I mean get me a better grade.... I really really hope so ;)))

That stupid picture of the milk pouring into the cereal... I dislike it very much because the black corner would not work with me. I wanted it to be lighter, but I guess it kinda draws more attention to the bright white stinking milk.

I like the sliced bread picture because of the darks of the crust that contrast with the soft lights of the insides.
