Final Photography Assignments #8, #9, #10

This is my last photography assignment for this short semester. I decided to take all of these pictures at the Paws in the City room at the Canine Country Club. The focus of this assignment was "Decisive Moment," "People in their Environment," and ""How Unusual" (looking at things from an unusual perspective). I'm really not very comfortable taking posed shots of people and most of those came out too forced for my liking. So, I went with cats, who really don't care if you're there to take their picture as long as you give them attention. 

 

Photography Assignment #7

This assignment was all about self portraits. The reason I choose to be behind the camera is because I really don't feel comfortable in front of it. I really just had to force myself to take these pictures, so I'm not really in love with any of them. I guess self portraits will just be something that I'll really need to work on (or never do again).

Music Monday: Arctic Monkeys "Brainstorm"

I have loved the Arctic Monkeys since their debut album. A friend of mine recently heard one of their songs and thought it was Cage the Elephant, a fact that I must adamantly disagree with.

Photography Assignment #6

The focus of this assignment was all about surfaces and textures. I wanted to try and catch some of the simple, everyday subjects  that I see and see them with a new eye. Maybe it's due to the fact that this is a compact course, but I just wasn't really inspired by most of the shots I ended up with. These six were some of the few that I was able to be happy enough with to post. 

Photography Assignment #5

My most recent photography assignment was all about reflections and distorting photographs. I didn't want to focus solely on reflections in water, so I worked with various filters and layers on a few of these pictures to add another dimension to them.
